Q: Hello 5iResearch. I bought, for my RRSP, Atco at 52.91$ (yeah, pretty close to the top). It is hovering around 39$. Should sell and buy some other utility like Emera or just bear it and grin it? Thank you.

Q: Hi. I'm looking at VNR and also CUP.U. They both seem like decent "bond substitutes" with very low growth and stable income. Would you agree with this? Based on prior comments you seem to prefer VNR. Could you compare the two please. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter.Thanks again for a wonderful coumn in the National Post, Saturday July 4th. The 5th thing you point that investors should know but don't is that Dividend growth stocks beat everything else. Sound advice. If you were recommending to a 50 year old, the 10 top dividend growers, what would they be today. I know I would find this helpful, and perhaps others would too. Many thanks for the terrific and useful service.

Q: I have been struggling with a fifteen percent loss on Direct Cash and just heard Jason Donville say the payout ratio has increased to 85%, which is contrary to the 60% I thought it was. Their operating margins could be improved and, in my hometown, I pay $1.75 at their ATM's and $3.00 from bank machines outside my home bank so I hope they raise their rates soon.
Finally, why is tap hurting cash withdrawals? If someone uses tap then they would have probably used their debit before tap and just completed the steps. If they need cash, then they would withdraw from their bank or an ATM somewhere.
Should I "tap out"?

Q: What is your opinion of split corp preferreds as a medium term income investment? LBS.A yields 4.75%, matures in 3 years or so at par and appears to be protected in value by the Class A shares. There aren't many other 3 year investments that offer anywhere near this sort of return. What are the downsides? Thanks.
