Q: Interpipeline (IPL) raised it's dividend substantially in November '14 and raised it a record 18 cents or about 13% yesterday while reporting record revenues. Analysts expected more but is it possible they expected too much? This company has delivered stellar results since March 2009 when I bought it at $8,40. Would you agree and still buy it today?
How does Northland Power (NPI)look for dividend safety and possibly some capital gains?
Thank you.

Q: Just when I started to feel more comfortable, they do a share offering today! Long time holder, happy dividend collector but perpetually nervous.... I am in 50% below this share price. What do you think? I find it disturbing that they need to do this right now, with a high share price.

Q: Hi Peter,

Just looking for your opinion (any change) on Student Transport (STB) after the last quarter report.

I wish to point out something from their conference call that I feel a lot of investors miss: The Company leased vehicles in 2008/9 and has been writing off the lease payments as expenses from then until now. Their normal policy is to lease for 6 years. This quarter they were able to purchase these vehicles at the end of their leases for $1 million. They had a market value of $3.2 million dollars and 6 to 8 years of remaining useful life with very little charges to the next couple of years operating statement. This is a large unrecorded asset and has been overstating costs in operating statement which will reverse in the future.

I obviously like STB and am a current shareholder. I value your opinion.

Thanks
John

Q: Good morning,

Can you give me your update on Canso Credit for holding in an RRSP.

The stock has been performing well for quite some time (flying under the radar screens). It appears to have a very low valuation with a decent yield.

What are the prospects for continue growth?
How safe is the yield? What is the payout ratio?

Would you reccommend purchase at this level?

Thanks
Thomas
