Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: SPB shows an 8% yield with a chart that indicates the stock price is moving ever downward. Do you think the dividend is sustainable and is there a possibility that SPB will not survive in your Income Portfolio? I would very much like to buy this stock but the high yield and scary chart are keeping me away.

Q: How valuable in your opinion is their "Swiss water" decaffeination process? I think they also supply Tim Horton's and McDonald's, I imagine these contracts are more longer term? Could you please give a brief balance sheet and cash flow opinion on ten peaks. To me it looks good but I'd like to pay a "reasonable" price for it.
Thanks guys

Q: Hi Peter and Team, The last question asked was on Dec. 24. Since the Dutch Auction, the shares have steadily declined (surprising?) and I'm beginning to lose patience, as I unfortunately bought it at a peak. Are there any compelling reasons to hang on, or would a switch to something like OTC be a better move to stay in the same space? ABT is held in my RRIF.
Thanks.

Q: Could I get some fundamentals on CHW please: what do you think of the balance sheet, particularly debt level, payout ratio on the dividend, and how well are they accounting for potential bad debts? What do you think of the income statement and how are they going to grow revenue. How would they compare with EFN? Thanks for your help.

Q: Reviewed you comprehensive reply today, however why are volumes up 1,771504 compared to much lower volumes.
Is this the shorts, or something else.
I hold this in my RRSP at a much higher price, and considering leveraging down, or even buying a call option.

Can you please help me out.

Many thanks for your help

Hello Peter & Staff
I need to diversify away from Financials, Energy, Pipes, and Utilities as I am overweight in these sectors.
I have 5% available cash to invest. I am considering buying or adding to 3 of these :

Pizza Pizza PZA, [I have a 2% position]
A&W Royalties AW.UN [I have a 2% position]
BMO REITS ZRE,
Sienna SIA,
Extendicare EXE,
Richards Packaging RPI.UN, [I have a 1% position]
Chartwell CSH.UN, [I have a 3% position]
Corbys CSW.A, [I have a 3% position]
Evertz ET [I have a 2% position]
Prism Medical PM.

I need steady reliable income from safe dividends but would like some growth too. Could you please advise me which three are the best to buy or to add to at this time, and please explain why you make your choices.
I would also welcome your suggestions on other 4-6% yield dividend stocks I may have not considered yet.
Thank you......... Paul K
