Q: Can you explain the current freefall with WEQ? When you compare a graph with HNL, it seems to be quite similar.

I am a retired dividend-income investor. Should I continue to hold WEQ and ride it out?

Q: I am disappointed with they amount of negative comments by subscribers and 5I about this company .I have held this company since the ipo and has in the past some up and downs caused in the main by some analysts negative comments .Since the recent market correction this stock has held its value and preserved investor capital and the only company I own that declares their dividend 3 months out.
Much of their debt is in debentures that the market values at a premium of 4 to 5%
I wish that other stocks that I owned protected my capital as well

Q: I need some hand holding on this stock. It seems to be breaking down and looks to become a prime tax loss candidate (if not already in its thrall). Is it as bad as all that?

Q: Hello: This firm pays a dividend of nearly 8%. However their debt is quite high. If we have increasing interest rates do you think their share price would be affected considerably over the next couple of years?

Q: Hello, I just joined and was hoping to find a report on ESI. As a dividend investor, ESI looks very attractive given it's current yield and valuation. More important, it's record of growing dividends for 19 consecutive years is hard to ignore. Yet, I hesitate. It's not just the lack of growth and the recent misses, the FCF looks problematic. Can I have your opinion? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter & team,
What do you think of "CLR" - The last review was in June '14.
It went up 307% in the last 3 years.
Should I get in or wait?
Thanks,

Q: "Alimentation Couche-Tard - ATD.B - is one of the biggest convenience-store companies in the world," says Wikipedia. I own Alimentation. Here in Halifax they have a minimal presence, mainly as Circle K stores associated with gas stations. I just don't see how this company falls under Consumer Staples rather than Consumer Discretionary. I'm sure there was a time in all our lives when slushies, Vachon cakes, and one-dollar hot dogs were staples that we lived on. But is it really a "consumer staple"? The other part of the question is to invite comment on my perception that with lower oil prices people should have more money to spend in convenience stores, assuming gasoline profits/margins/etc. don't deteriorate. Thanks!

Q: Hi, I have owned NWC for about 5 years. It has come down this year as a result of several poorer quarters. I am considering selling it as I am concerned that another weaker quarter will send it even lower. Firstly, do you think this is a good idea. I also own a half position in ATD.b., bought in January, 2014, and am considering adding to this position if I sell NWC. If you feel this transaction is a good move should I wait for a pullback in ATD.b as it is near the top of its range or would you consider another consumer company instead. I am looking for a long term position in the consumer staples area. Thank you for your assistance. I do appreciate your site and the work you do. Lynda
