Q: Regarding the dividend history. I use longrundata.com
It provides information on the last 8 dividend payments and then a 30 year history. It's a US site so you will need to add .tsx as a suffix. A disadvantage is that it doesn't seem to work where there is a dot in the address as in TCK.A or D.UN

Q: RON.PR.A got a bump today presumably because of Benj Gallander's recommendation last evening. It has a nice dividend but starts to float in March, 2016. Do you know the formula for setting the rate at that time and would you recommend this particular preferred share?

Q: Hello team,
Sometimes, I like to look at charts to see how a company is doing in the absence of any news. Rogers Communications' (RCI.B)chart is showing a rounded top which suggests that the company's shares are about to head south. Do you see anything on your Bloomberg terminal that suggests the company is experiencing difficulties. What do you think are its prospects for the near future?

Q: Hi Peter and team My question relates to Alta Gas (ALA). RBC has a sector perform rating while NBF has an outperform. In looking over their reports I see virtually identical estimates of dividend increases for 2014 but NBF goes further with a projection of a 15% increase for 2015. RBC says it is fully valued at the current price while NBF maintains it sells at a discount to the "high payout group" with 2015 estimates P/AFFO of 10.4 cf. with group average of 12. I would like to know your opinion.

Thanks

Ross
