Q: Good morning gentlemen,
Which of these two securities do you believe will provide the highest total return over the next few years? I am inquiring because I have some Extra cash and a 5%. Discount on A&W looks like an enticing buy .
Thx,
KR

Q: A&W issued a release regarding a private placement this morning which itself isn't out of the ordinary.
However what caught my eye was what will happen with the proceeds. They will be given to 'certain indirect shareholders' for 'their personal financial planning requirements'. So the fund is selling units to Laurentian, and all of the money is being handed out to unknown shareholders. None of the funds will be distributed to other shareholders, nor will the Fund hold the cash.
I'm no expert but this doesn't pass the smell test. Am I missing something?

Q: AW.un just issued at private placement with the stock price being $39.25. Currently the stock is trading at about just less than $41.00. Should I expect the current price to decrease to be closer to the private placement price, today or over the next few days?
Q: Could you please comment on their earnings? Looks like they unwound their short position at great cost.
Q: A nice run in the stock the last 2 days. Comments please.
Q: Hi Peter & Co.,
Fabrice Taylor made an interesting comment on ALA on today's Market Call show. He said his analysis of ALA's cash flow statement suggests that the dividend is being funded through borrowing and equity raises, and not cash flow from operations. This is the first time I've heard a comment like this about ALA's dividend and its implications for the sustainability of the dividend. What's your take on this?
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: Hello,
I am looking for a Canadian company that might get a boost from Cdn Defence spending due to US asking NATO members to spend more on defence.
I believe HRX has some defence exposure (although it appears by the stock price that it missed revenues?) Are there any others? Any you would suggest as a decent investment, as is, without increased spending? Please list them in preference.
Thank you,
Gerald

Q: I am thinking of rebalancing my Dividend growth portfolios by selling some of my over weighted bank winners and buying some of my laggards and lower positions. Could you please rank these potential laggards for acquisition into a mainly dividend growth portfolio, the candidates are SIS, SYZ, PUR, AGT, CGX, AQN, SPB & DHX. Please let me know if you are really strong for any of these stocks or would really suggest avoiding any of these companies. Thank you again for your great service.
ps KHW looks like a real winner, thank you.

Q: I was wondering if you could give me your top 3-4 dividend/income stocks to buy right now for a long term hold.
I do already own a few of your top ranked co's in the space - Enercare and Cineplex, so was wondering other than those for my RRSP.
If I sent this 2x my apologies.

Q: I currently hold significant USD in my RRSP and have no bond exposure in any investments (registered or nonregistered) and am interested in diversifying my portfolio. I also have very low risk tolerance and am happy to sacrifice on what returns I might expect. Thoughts? Thanks.
Q: Do you have any idea why key era went up almost 3% today? I know the earnings report was due after the market closed, but I didn't see anything special about the report. What did you think of the earnings report and the market move today?
Q: I'm down 21% on PUR. Has there been any material change here? What is causing the weakness?
Q: I am going to sell Veresen to reduce my energy exposure. I am overweight in financials so I am looking for suggestions in other sectors that would come close to replacing the 7% dividend I will lose on the sale of Veresen.

Q: Hello 5i,
I bought VSN before Xmas on a analyst report from RBC. I have a good return so far, but I know you are not very fond of this company. Therefore I would like to replace it with something more attune to your thinking and values.
My question is what do I replace it with. Possibly ALA.r?
I do thank you all for your good work and valued opinion.

Q: Good afternoon!
In looking at your comments on Veresen (VSN), I can’t quite pin down reasoning for what seems to be a change in viewpoint here.
On Dec 12th you state: “Because JC was already rejected once, we would not view this as overly significant, and is likely already embedded in the price (after Friday's drop). The company can still grow, and there will be other projects in the future.“
On Jan 5th you state: “We remain quite comfortable with VSN for income, primarily, with some growth. Good earnings growth is expected in 2017.”
On Feb 6th the perspective differs, and you state that you are “... not very big fans of VSN”
On Feb 6th and on the 14th you also now imply that the Jordan Cove rejection is NOT built in to the price, and that the valuation is high. You also stated that revenues are expected to decline, but my brief research into the company, suggests otherwise, particularly their February guidance presentation indicating $1.4 billion of projects in the works, accretive on a per-share basis, quite a bit of growth for a company of less than $4.5 billion in market cap. In a recent Globe and Mail article (published on Stockhouse, also) the following spoke to valuation based on EBITDA: “According to Bloomberg, the stock is trading at an enterprise value-to-earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) multiple of 10.5 times the 2017 consensus estimate. This is below the five-year historical average of 13.2 times and below its 10-year historical average of 11.1 times.”
Could you elaborate on what gave you this apparent change of heart, especially in conjunction with your comments about the ‘pro-pipeline’ Trump viewpoint?
Looking forward to your thoughts.
Thanks
Paul
