Q: Boston Pizza has been declining for the last three months and in particular since the release of the quarterly earnings. What would be your opinion of the company going forward.
Please compare Boston Pizza with A&W and the Keg as to which would be a better choice.
Are there other restaurant royalty companies I should be looking at?
Thanks for the excellent service.

Q: Hello: I thought I heard David Driscoll on BNN the other day saying that when holding "cash" for clients in Canadian accounts he buys Bankers acceptance notes. Could you please help me understand what these are and how they compare to other fixed income products such as GICs. Thanks very much

Q: Questions:
(1) How would you rate Lassonde's earnings report? Is it a company worth holding taking into account their eps growth and debt profile?

(2) Do you see any red flags for the longer term regarding TSGI's eps growth. I'm surprised the market has such a negative view of the lowered eps guidance if most of it was a result of the higher share count. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts.

Thanks.

Q: HI again 5i (third try). We are a mid 70's couple needing to increase our monthly div. income slightly to satisfy our monthly RIF payout. Please suggest your best ideas to increase our low cash position and which monthly div. payers to add. We could take some profits or sell from among nflx, vmd, xhc, itx, vun, toy, iyt, zuh, atd.b, aem.
We have half positions in your income portfolio excluding cpd, cvd, plc, tcl.a, xhy.
We realize our fixed income is very low for our age group but with 10% of our 425k portfolio in slf and our 700k home adds some safety. Please deduct as many credits you see fit. Thanks so much.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan & Co.,
Emera is selling off this morning after reporting Q2 results yesterday. The company has also lowered its dividend growth guidance to 4% - 5% versus 8% previously. I currently hold a 3% weighting in my portfolio. Would this be a good time to add to my position? At today's price, I can lock in an almost 6% yield expected to grow 4% - 5% annually. This yield is significantly better than what I get on Fortis right now. Would I be taking on significantly more risk with Emera than Fortis?
Many thanks,
Brian
