Q: Hi, as much as I love the place I find it hard to believe that a ski resort can actually make money in the long term. Would you consider WB a buy right now? I'm interested in the long term sustainability of it's dividend. On a side note, I understand they generate a significant portion of their annual electrical requirements from internally owned, water driven facilities.
Q: could you please give me any advice on this fund.
We bought this years ago and sold. Now it has come down substantially.

Q: Hi Peter and the 5i Team, What do you think of this ETF for the fixed-income portion of my RRIF? I realize that the yield is a bit on the low side, but so are the management fees at 0.12%. Its chart looks quite impressive. Or do you favour alternative bond ETF's? Thanks in advance.
Q: Hello Team, I am considering purchasing either bep.un or cpx. Can I get your reasoning for giving CPX a B rating, but gave BEP.un an A rating. The numbers would indicate cpx deserves a higher rating.BEP has the following numbers: Debt/equity:2.7, P/E:81, P/B:1.4,EPS:0.42, 3 yr EPS growth is neg and has a 4.5% div yield.
CPX has the following numbers: Debt/equity:0.6, P/E:32, P/B:1.1, EPS: .82, 5 yr eps growth is positive and has a 5% div yield. Granted CPX has less power generation and a little diversified geographically but it would seem very comparable. Can I get your thoughts on this and what else gives Bep.un the edge? If you were to purchase one over the other which would it be and why? Can you confirm that both payout in dividends and not return of capital. Thank you

Q: (Prevoiusly known as Davis & Henderson)
Re: All the comments about DH Corp initiating a DRIP. If you own shares thru a Broker (i.e TDDI) and you own a sufficient quantity of shares that your dividends allow the purchase of at least ONE SHARE then your Broker will purchase for you (called a Synthetic DRIP, with no commission)as many shares as possible (only whole shares, no fractions). This is why Mike has been recieving re-invasted dividends since March 2013 (as have I). One qualification is, at least with TDDI you need to have this feature turned on for the respective A/C. This cannot be done by the Client. You must contact your Broker to ascertain or request that the feature is enabled.
Company DRIP's are an economical way for small investors to start to build a position and also re-invest 100% of the dividends including fractional share purchases.
Hope this provides some clarification.

Q: GEI has been sliding hard along with the energy sector. But what is the real net impact of lower prices on its earnings? Isn't trucking of oil (due to full pipelines) a more recent development and wouldn't lower energy prices benefit GEI's input costs? Is GEI's sell-off overdone?
