Q: Hi Peter & Co.,
Can you please comment on the latest quarterly results for Rogers Sugar? I don't expect much from the stock in terms of capital appreciation, but do hold it from income. Thanks!

Thank you

Q: Hello Peter & Team,

I bought @ $36.48... Current price $30.63.

I have a concern regarding a reported long term debt of $1.5B and a fairly high cost on this debt at 4%. Also, it's business appears to be negatively effected by a strong U$ and from what I can tell, the U$ strength isn't going to change any time soon and in fact could get stronger.

I was wondering if you could comment on their debt scenario, what effect that could have moving forward and what you see long term (1 - 2 yrs) for the share price.

I am considering selling at a loss and moving on.

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: I will likely be retiring within a year, and plan to regularly draw a small amount of income from my investments to supplement my needs. I am slowly transitioning my holdings from a mostly equity oriented portfolio to include a moderate income portion. I am looking for buy and forget type of investments that pay a safe 4% or so dividend with an important caveat – capital protection. I am of the view that a 5-7% dividend has little meaning if you lose 20-40% of the principal investment amount in a short year or two. I understand that with greater safety comes limited upside potential which I am willing to accept. What would be your 5 top picks that best fit this requirement. I am willing to consider whatever investment type you feel is best suited between common shares, preferreds, REITs, income funds and corporate bonds or debentures. I already own T, BNS, AW.UN, BEP.UN, HR.UN, CSU.DB, XHY, CVD, CPD in case you were considering naming any of these so please try to select a few others (from any sector).

Q: I realize that transalta has some challenges facing it. However, the dividend is now close to 12%. Is the dividend sustainable and do you believe there is some price appreciation in store for TA? How will Alberta's new carbon policy affect the company? thanks.

Q: What is the risk/reward profile for MTL?
It has trended down - as expected - ytd to the point where the yield is ~ 7.4%.

I am searching for reliable dividend income stocks with more upside potential than downside risk.

I know that is asking a lot these days but would MTL fit into that niche?


Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
I have a half position in CSH.UN. I like the space long term and was thinking of adding an equal weight position of SIA at this price.
Do you consider one better value than the other for dividend and share price growth or are they fully valued here? Is there much risk to the downside next 12-18 months?

Thank you
