Q: Hello, Thanks for your wonderful note about the Altagas subscription recipts. This seems to be case of heads, I win a decent amount (10+%) tails i still win some (2.8%+). I called my broker he says Ala.r is trading in the open market..not in ipo any longer. I wanted to clarify if Ala.r is the correct symbol if i were to go through with this..actually i already did make small purchase. Now thinking about half position.Thanks again.

Q: Thoughts on Alta gas valuation and stability of dividend. I only have a half position of Raging River. I am going to pull the trigger and take a full position. Would you add AlA at this time or recommend another. I'm open to risk and have a time frame of 5 years plus.

Q: Hello 5i. I really enjoy reading the questions on a daily basis and consider your replies VALUABLE information. So much so I recently renewed my membership.
I have held RDM corp for the past 3 years and it has been a steady, low volatility stock. After todays buyout news, I am considering selling and putting the cash into another company in the same space. Do you think TNC is a good replacement? It seems expensive compared to RC.
Thank you.

Q: Hi guys,

I have held a position in AW.UN for a long time and it represents about 3% of my portfolio. CIBC's Investors Edge shows 2015 eps at $1.56. If I estimate 2017 eps to be $1.76, that gives A&W a 2017 p/e of 23.4

It seems like Pizza Pizza (PZA), Boston Pizza (BPF.UN) and Cara Operations (CARA) all trade significantly cheaper than A&W on a 2017 p/e basis.

Against this backdrop, would you sell AW.UN for any of PZA, BPF.UN, or CARA?

Lastly, does A&W's corporate structure make itself less likely to be taken over?

Thanks for your time and expertise.

Q: My Question is on the Transalta preferred shares. I have the series C preferred shares that are paying me 6.8% and with reset this June expect the yield will be about 6.7%. I see that the company decided NOT to go ahead with the proposed exchange of the preferred shares last Friday. Is this a good or bad sign?

How risky do you view the Transalta preferred shares in terms of ability to pay dividends and viability long term of the company?

Please feel free to publish.

Q: Since you added this company to your income portfolio, this has shot up like crazy. There has been no other news and the company was not moving anywhere for a long time. Is your membership base that big that it can drive the price of one stock that much higher in a two week period and reach all time high's. Isnt there risk that if someone enters now, they will end up losing capital. Also my question balance dropped to 23 from 24 even though I had asked a question about DBO. Why is that?
