Pernod Ricard USA, LLC on June 30, 2018. Corby entered into an agreement providing 375 Park Avenue Spirits (http://www.375park.com/) (a dba of Luctor International, LLC ("375 Park Avenue Spirits")) the exclusive right to represent J.P.

Q: My family has inherited a quantity of BCE shares. They are physical paper shares, legal, not held in an on line brokerage. They are currently part of the estate. We are being quoted horrendous fees by the bank/ third party agency to sell them. Do you have any suggestions on how we can sell these shares at a reasonable cost. Would BCE buy them back directly?
Thanks , Brenda

Q: I have been in contact with my discount brokerage and asked them about what options they offer for the criteria I asked in my previous question with parking my cash. They suggested two money market funds - DYN6000 or DYN5000? My discount brokerage is iTrade. What is your opinion of either of these two money market funds. Both pay 1.00% dividend and fully cashable at any point without losing capital?

Any help here is appreciated.

Regards,

Brendan

Q: Could you perhaps give me any information regarding this US fund. Its a very small portion of my portfolio. It has made great returns for me since it goobled up a previous fund I was in, in 2017. The dividend is 16.81%. The stock drops of course every time it pays out. Two things I notice as potential trouble. In 2012 it did a 1/4 split? And how problematic are rising interest rate environment for this fund. Thanks......many thanks your information has made me very happy.

Q: I own the shares and the bond units. I do not subscribe to the theory to hold an equity even though its falling, because you 'get paid to wait'. In certain instances you can wait forever to get back the capital losses.

So with that parameter out of the way, what is your future investment outlook for H given what has occurred today and the meddling that will occur in the future (your guess is better than mine)?

There are many income stocks to chose from, look at it from the capital preservation/downside approach.

Thanks

Q: Hello
I just read about the tariffs applied to P&G more specifically the toilet paper they sell here in Canada.

I assume that if P&G up the price of Charmen TP in Canada then KPT will follow and hike the price of its Casmere TP. Thus increasing their margins.

Do you think this development is ''material''for KPT?

Thanks

Q: Can you explain why Fortis shows a negative free cash flow, and how this relates to its dividend? Is it because they have long term contracts in place, so they are able to predict further cash flows? When I compare it to Canadian Utilites, their free cash flow is positive. I feel like I’m missing something with Fortis.
