Exchange Income Corporation (EIF $102.06)
-
Chorus Aviation Inc. Voting and Variable Voting Shares (CHR $22.34)
Q: I read that cHR may be expanding their reach. Do you have a perspective on whether the possible expansion of CHR flights could potentially affect the business model for EIF? Could you compare the two companies now as to risk and BUY, HOLD or SELL?
Thank you kindly in advance for your help with this.

Q: Is this a good opportunity to add to these types of names or do you see more weakness coming with interest rate fears lingering?
Q: Can you explain why there is some expectation of a dividend cut at Corus? Is it possible that the company is very undervalued? They seem to have plenty of cash flow and the dividend is well covered, according to figures on TD's site, and your answer in Oct/17:
"Looking at nine month numbers (most recent financials), operating cash flow was $311M, and $78.6M in dividends were paid, for a ratio of 25.3%. If one includes working capital changes in the cash flow figure (we would generally exclude this due to the short term and timing nature of working capital items), the ratio changes to 37%."

Q: I have recently purchased ENB, having owned TRP for a number of years. I need to do some sector adjusting and these two jump out as overlapping industries in my RRSP. I would anticipate holding one or the other mid to longer term. Which of these two do you feel would offer longer term opportunity? If I were to sell ENB, I would not be in a rush and would sell on opportunity if it spiked a few dollars north of where they are today and enjoy dividend in the meantime.
Q: Good Afternoon.
What do you think of FIE.A ? I'm assuming there is leverage used as well as writing options perhaps to enhance the yield ? The underlying basket probably yields around 4% but the current yield is around 6.80%
Thanks

Q: Hello,
I hold BIP.UN and AQN in my RSP and am considering lightening up in the utility space.
I hold them in equal amounts, if I am considering selling one position what would you recommend ? I consider them to be medium term (3-5 year) positions.
Thanks as always .. appreciate the advice.

Q: I own AQN and Chemtrade. I have owned the latter for several years and reinvest the dividends: I am considering adding more of one of these two. Do you prefer AQN? Is one riskier than other? Thank you. Bill

Q: Hi, what do you think of Sabra Healthcare REIT (SBRA) for aging US population? How does it compare to CSH and Sienna in Canada? Is timing OK with forecasted 3 rate changes in US this year? Other better suggestions for aging US population?
Q: Hi Peter and Team,
I have some cash sitting in a US account that I want to leave on the sidelines for now. I was thinking I should put this in something that gives me a bit of return but won't crash with markets if they crash. Is there a good proxy for cash that provides some yield that you can suggest which would be US Dollar denominated?
Thanks,
Marc

Q: Hi,
Thanks for your service. The info is very helpful. I had Veresen shares that were switched to PPL. These shares are held in a stock transfer company to take advantage of dripping. Veresen stopped dripping prior to the sale and it seems that PPL does not. My question is, did they before this purchase? Whether they did or not, do you know if they have any intention of starting. Thanks

Q: Some weeks ago I decided I wanted to buy Fortis and/or Emera. Since then they have been both dropping and I am waiting for them to bottom out. Their chart is horrible for what I consider blue chips. Is this decline based on interest rate fears or is it a general rotation or is there another reason? I favour Emera for income but Fortis for growth so I may split the purchase. Do you have a favourite?
Q: I am considering buying nutrien, can u provide me your opinion on the Co. Thanks Clare

Q: Request 5is view on Caldwell Partners.
How is the company's business model, quality of management and profitability?
The gross margins seem to be good but net margins seem too thin and not sustainable.
How big can they grow? Currently they are at $58 million revenue. Can they scale up or will they remain small company forever?
Does it have potential to attract institutional investors?
Too many questions but Im trying to understand the company because the stocks liquidity and trading is nothing much to speak of. My concern on trading is will this remain a penny stock and later get in to restricted list or get delisted?

Q: What is you take on Northwest Healthcare Properties? Seems to be well diversified geographically and a well managed pay out ratio. Would you put this in the medical sector or real estate?
