Q: I have held LNR for a couple of years now and it has recently been in an uptrend. I was looking at a 20 year chart and it has just broke the all time high set 15 years ago or is about to hard to tell for sure on the chart I was looking at. While I am not a technical guy with stocks does this have any significance either technically or in general. Thanks

Q: Part of Patrik's question, on Dec 12th re MDI, was his query if there was another name in the materials drilling sector you would recommend to move on to. As you didn't mention any other - does that mean your opinion is that MDI is the preferred choice ? If not could you elaborate, including Canada & U.S. ?
Thank you.

Q: As my wife and I 'leap' over the 90 year-yard line, we ponder what to invest in for our heirs in the coming year - - specifically using our 'new' TFSA contribution room. Historically, we have preferred to use Perpetual Preferred shares - - specifically WN.PR.A and POW.PR.A for their yield, their track record as companies, their distributions which are dividends and taxed as such, and they offer DRIP (at least in our discount house). I am looking for suggestions of other high quality firms that might be considered. Use as many credits as required to answer please. Thank you for all your help over the past several years. Happy New Year! Bill

Q: I have owned BCE for 15 years and T (Telus) for maybe 10 years or less - combined $80K investments. Both are down for different reasons. I am up , including dividends a fair bit as I reinvest the dividends where opportunities present. Would you add to T at the current price?

Q: Good afternoon!
I have substantial room in our TFSAs this year due to large withdrawals made. I plan on moving some combination of these four equities into it from RIFs and my unregistered acount:

BCE, T, LIF, CHE.UN

Taxation is not a concern, as the only one in an unregistered account is BCE, and it is just slightly down from my purchase price (no doubt due to tax loss selling).
My reasoning on choosing these four is that each of these has some potential growth of a substantial nature, and therefore would be better in a TFSA as opposed to a RIF or unregistered account.
Could you please comment on this logic, and also rank them on the basis of growth from most likely to least likely over the next few years?
Please take as many credits as necessary.
Thanks!
