Q: In a recent answer about BIR's drop following its quarterly release: "Considering strong growth is still expected in 2024, the stock's decline seems a bit harsh to us. The balance sheet also remains in excellent shape. We would be fine holding."
I'm curious if you would buy at this level or hold off for now. If holding off what would you like to see happen before buying?
Thanks-you.

Q: I've owned AltaGas for several yeras and it's finally coming back up to my ACB. I'm thinking of selling when it hits the even point and moving onto something with more growth.
Do you have any love for ALA? Or would you agree there are more enticing companies in the sector with better growth and income?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: Would you recommend adding to my CJ position at this price level? I'm down about 10% at this juncture. If there is no danger of a dividend cut, and if CJ rebounds in 2024 would it be a worthy risk bet? Please advise.

Q: Retired, dividend investor looking for income with this trade. HMAX is currently 1.8 of my equity position, down 15%. Would this be a good time to average down and take advantage of their 14+ dividend. How safe is the dividend? Do you have any other options

Q: This holding has been a disappointment for me. I bought it when oil prices (west texas) were in the seventy dollar range and it dropped even as oil prices spiked into the eighties. Would you dump and move on? It's in a TFSA account.

Q: I would appreciate your scrutiny of this company, its current financial indebtedness. The past history of dividend growth, and is this 10% yield sustainable, also is this dividend eligible for the dividend tax credit, or is this an interest payment? Thank you for this info.

Q: Re your answer to Terry Nov 3rd. Q: previously, you have described the effect of high rates depressing dividend stocks, and increasing yields. In your answer to Terry you describe markets rallying due to a rate pause, followed by a decline as rates are cut. Will dividend stocks rally and then decline in the same way, or will the attraction of the dividend cause them to behave differently. Are dividends currently at their high point or will yields be even higher if/when the market declines during/after rate cuts.
Thanks Peter.
