Q: I read that SRV.Un and KEG.Un are royalty trusts with eligible dividends. I'm not interested in growth, just safety of income and capital. Would you recommend them for a 2.5% weighting (each) my income portfolio. Thanks.

Q: Good morning, Peter.
Re: CPX
I own Capital Power for a little growth and a good dividend, and have seen both since I bought it last year. Latest quarter's results are not finding favor with the market but is this a situation where you just sit back and ignore the short-term noise or should the stock be a candidate for sale?
Thank you and kind regards,
Geoff

Q: Hi,

Can you provide me your opinion on Chesswood (CHW). I bought it at 15.25 and it is down since then. It also pretty volatile. Is it a good company to hold in a portfolio. What kind of risks do you see in this company going forward. Also with its small market cap could it be a potential takeover candidate for someone interested in leasing business. Thanks

Q: RCI.B is down 3% today on a lowering of estimates by Credit Suisse. I'm not interested in growth, only safety of capital and income. The yield is about 4.3%. Is now a time for a 5% position? I don't have T but will buy BCE on a correction resulting in owning 5% each in BCE and T. Would a 2.5% position in each be better? How about 5% in BCE and no RCI? Thanks.

Q: Hello Team
After spending quite some time looking at all the different fundamentals of these 3 telecom companies maybe you can shed some light on which one you feel I would do best in. Telus,Chunghwa CHT, or Nippon NTT.Being a contrarian at heart I always lean toward the deepest value which I feel would be Nippon telecom,However there ttm ROA is much lower than the other 2 However forward P/E, Price/sales,and P/CF values are much lower.The other metric which I find interesting is the Net income growth AVG over the last 3 years which Telus has performed much better over.
Thanks Gord

Q: I bought 10,000 shares on Interpipeline (IPL) at $8.40 in 2009 and now have almost 14,000 shares from their DRIP. My initial investment is now getting over 15% return due to distribution increases but I am paying a high price for DRIP purchases lately. My original plan was to hold this for another five years. However, the price has appreciated lately. Time to move on?
Thank you.
