Q: I know your not crazy about this stock,but looking at it from purely an income play the dividend has already been cut and its pays 7% and other than a couple very temporary blips its basically at an all time low(i know could still drop more)im just thinking i could possibly hold this company between 5.50 and 7.00 for a long time and collect a nice payout and who knows the canadian landscape of these types of companies is getting smaller every year,could be a take out candidate,could you tell me the payout ratio,new management any possible head or tail winds you see in the next couple of years possibly... THANKS

Q: In one of recent reports you suggested to sell full position of CPD mentioning "better opportunities". I noticed that CVD also disappeared from your Income Portfolio as well (it is more explicable for me). Can you suggest potential alternatives for substitution of CPD / CVD considering relatively high dividends they pay and relatively low volatility? (may you consider ZMO or ZPAY... or something like that - kind of speculations :)). Thank you for great service!
Q: Between BAM and BEPC ...which do you prefer for income and growth in this current environment? I currently have a full position of BN for growth as well as a full position in BAM which provides some income but little growth as of late. I am considering selling BAM and moving to BEPC. I would appreciate your thoughts on this please.

Q: Please provide your thoughts about Telus.

Q: Can you please provide your analysis of whether AI software developments will negatively impact the businesses of OTEX and ENGH? Both companies seem solid, reasonably well-managed, and pay nice dividends to compensate for their low growth. Should I be concerned that their revenues will decline over time such that my retirement income will be in jeopardy? Should I move on to a more stable dividend payer, for example FTS, that is less likely to be hurt by AI?

Q: I am assuming CPX was down Friday on heavy volume in response to Trump’s initiative to impose a cap on residential price increases, and require tech companies to pay for their own power centers . There was a concurrent selloff in independent US listed power companies as well.

We already own Finning International, having taken a 4% position, just before recent quarterly results.
Could you contrast the two companies from stability/growth/valuation perspective ?
Does it make sense to own both and if so, what would be a reasonable combined weighting for a Balanced like portfolio ?
Thank You
