Q: Hello,

I am considering investing in PBH as it checks off the right boxes and it is one of your favorites.
However, looking at other similar co's MTY & MFI they seem to offer similar dividends and growth, tgey are both also trading close to the same lower range as PBH.
Could you provide insight on why these are lagging the food retailers who are trading at highs.
Thank you

Q: I own all three of these companies and I am doing quite well with all three. I am up 20% on BIR, 10% on PEY and way up on TOU as I bought it in the $5.00 range back in the depths of the oil and gas collapse. TOU represents 6% of my portfolio while PEY and BIR are about 1% each. I LOVE my dividends…….do I continue to hold all three or consolidate into TOU? After TOU’s takeover of CR, is one or both of BIR and PEY next?

Q: My husband is 8 years away from retirement and wants to buy dividend stocks to leave mostly alone (not checking daily like me!) - he'll check in on it now and then. This is the list he's come up with - slightly higher positions in BCE, BPF.UN and slightly lower in AW.UN, CAR.UN and OLY, otherwise fairly evenly split. Do you see this a good list for his purposes, and is there anything you would leave off, or add? Any other alarm bells? Thanks!

Q: Good evening!
I have shares of BCE at an ACB of $55.40, which today closed at $47.03. I thought maybe of establishing a rather large capital loss for future use by selling them and buying Telus as a proxy for the necessary holding time frame of 31 days to confirm the loss. However, looking at the charts I saw that Telus has been fairing a bit better than BCE lately, so I am not sure that there would be some 'reversion-to-the-mean' happening during the 31 days. That could mean I end up with less shares of BCE when the dust settles!
Sort of a two-parter here. First of all, is this a good idea at all? Second of all, if it is, is there perhaps another 'proxy' you might suggest I look at?
Thanks!
