Q: I am looking at adding ATD to my consumer staples portfolio. Could you please tell me the difference between ATD.A & ATD.B. They both have the same dividend, but ATD.B share price is approximately a dollar less. Naturally I would choose ATD.B, but is that right decision. Also, do you believe there is a better company in the consumer staples sector other than Couche-Tard. Thanks for your insight … Cal

Q: Over the last week or so, Mosaic has appreciated far more than Agrium (or even Potash Corp); can you explain this divergence within a sector in which, I would think, stocks would rise in-tandem? Conversely, given Mosaic's appreciation, is Agrium in some sense mis-priced?

Q: Hello great team,
I own some split preferred FFN.pr.a. I am OK with 5.25% dividend and my understanding is that my principal investment and dividend are safe as long as NAV value of the unit remain above $10. Current NAV is ~$14. Are there any other risks (e.g. management) in losing my principal of $10 per preferred share other than drop in NAV value less than $10. Overall, what do you think about this preferred? DBRS rating is 4 high. The fund is managed by Qudravest Capital Management. I will appreciate any alternate suggestions to this preferred share? – I am OK with 5% return and safe principal.
Thanks

Q: Just wondering what you think of Corby. It never seems to go anywhere, but it pays a nice dividend with sometimes a special dividend.

Q: Greetings Peter & Team:
A short time ago your comment was that you preferred gei over mullen transport. I own ipl and would appreciate as detailed a comparison of ipl & gei as your time permits. To my knowledge they are both midstream producers. Also, in your opinion which has the most upside in a changing market, and considering all metrics, which would you own. I await your learned opinion.
Regards,
Ben.

Q: It has mentioned several times that deposits at many Canadian financial institutions are insured through CIDC up to $100,000. I don't remember any mention that all deposits in any Manitoba credit union or caisse populaire are guaranteed, without limit by the Deposit Guarantee Corporation of Manitoba.There are several credit unions in Manitoba that offer online banking across provincial boundaries and higher interest rate than the banks. Implicity financial is one example that offers 1.75% interest on deposits and the unlimited guarantee.

Q: XHY looks like a timely buy for a nice yield and maybe even a little price appreciation over the near term in an income account?
