Q: Happy New Year to you all...my question is with the market down I am looking at adding another dividend stock from you income portfolio. One that I do not own is Rocky Mountain Dealerships and would like your opinion on adding a 2% position to this holding. Do you see the dividend as safe and also do you see further dividend increases with the problems in the agriculture industry due to rail restrictions or is this just noise and this is a good stock to hold for a five year period...Thank you

Q: In your last response to VNR ( Nov 5) you indicated that you were not too happy with the stock. Do you still feel this way? I have only a 1.8% weight and deciding if I should add to it or sell and put the cash from the sell into CVD and XHY? I do currently own both CVD and XHY but only at a 2.5 % weight. These stock are inside a RRSP.
Thanks

Q: I'm considering buying HSPX. Doing my research I understand that their strategy is to write out of the money calls which if I'm not mistaken gives more upside to a covered call ETF. Is this both true and a correct assumption ? And also my TD Waterhouse quote shows a yield of 9.5% but when checking various other sites I see from 5% to 7%. What is the real annual yield ? And what is your opinion on this ETF in general ? Thanks Garth.

Q: In the company profile, ERE is noted as being "unincorporated". I am curious if that is significant; for example are their reporting/accounting held to less rigorous scrutiny compared to an "incorporated" company? Also ERE has a +9% dividend but is a new kid on the block - less than a year. The high dividend was there from start. Is this a sign management over reaching - like trying too hard to be noticed? Can ERE maintain it? What is their payout ratio. I have no European exposure, but thinking a small position here is doable...………..Thanks, and all the best in 2019...….Lionel

Q: This title covers oil transport/storage infrastructure
thus not affected by WTI acc to promoters since its revenue is from transporting fuel. Dividends 8-10%. Despite transporting/storing only it suffers greatly from WTI price fluctuation. Half of 27% loss is recovered from dividends, any insight in this MLPA structure??

Q: Hi Guys
I noticed on previous post about Altius, you mentioned the balance sheet was fairly levered, were you referring to Total Assets/ shareholder equity ?
Sept 2018 quarter shows it at 609/414 for 1.47 which seems quite reasonable, not a lot of goodwill either, If you could point out what i'm missing that would be great.
