Q: I am hanging on to Quarterhill pending news on the Apple court case. It has been in a narrow trading range for three weeks now. They offer no press release but I think earnings is August 12. There are rumours that the US courts may consider all patents worthless. Is this true. If so, Quarterhill could be worth nothing. I own a lot so am a little concerned about this rumour, true or false. Thanks.

Q: I've owned Game Host since 2016 mostly for income. I used its monthly 5% dividends and put them towards my mortage payments. Since my mortgage interest is now 2.85%, I think it makes sense. I just wanted to check if the company is still doing "ok" to continue with my strategy (GH.CA is a 2.0% position relative to my total account and 1 of 5 income stocks that pay my mortgage interest). Could you share some of its metrics, like debt-to-equity and other metrics that matter to income stocks?

Q: A good chunk of my TFSA was chugging along nicely to the tune of KWH and its nice dividend, but ... alas ... no more!

Thinking of redistributing the money into WCP ... or any of the others in the energy sector mentioned above. Your thoughts?

I've also been toying with avoiding the sector altogether in this account (since I hold Enbridge and Algonquin Power in an RSP) ... and stepping over to Savaria?

The crystal ball question (without holding anybody to account is!) ... is ... which is likely to do better ... the energy picks, or Savaria? (I'm looking for a dividend with some growth in this account.)

If I should avoid ALL of these at the moment, any other thoughts on "growth with dividend"?

Thanks, as always!

Q: picCould you please put into context the recent earnings from PIC.A. The operating profit of 14.9M and the increase in net assets attributable to class A shareholders of 10.1M does not give me any feel for whether the company has done a good job over the past six months or not or whether that performance is consistent with or better or worse than previous periods in relation, perhaps, to their underlying investments. Thank you.

Q: Is there a reason to hold these? Performance is just unacceptable.

Q: Pason Systems has been currently trading below $18 mark and its close to hitting its year low. Do you think it is a good value buying opportunity?
What are the risks you foresee for this company?
I recently read form company website and that they are also exploring new sectors (non-oil) such as power, etc. Whats your view on that and how significant are they or how capital intensive are they. Will these new business lines change the revenue mix (away from oil) significantly ? If you can throw more light on these new initiatives it would be helpful. Thanks.

Q: I am wondering if you like BIP here at the current valuation looking to add to an RRSP- have BAM and BEP in other accounts already at reasonable weights. If I added BIP here would take my total weighting to around 7% for these 3.
