Q: I own two utility stocks Fortis(FTS) and Algonquin(AQN)and am considering selling one to purchase a more economicly sensitive , growthier name. They carry about the same capital gain so that is not a consideration. The stock I keep would be a long-term core holding which I could basically hold, monitor, collect the dividend and forget about. For this reason, I am leaning toward keeping the larger cap Fortis but would appreciate your thoughts and considerations. Thank-you.

Q: I would like to know your opinion of Mosaic Capital Corp (M). I own the preferred shares (M.PR.A) which have a dividend of 8.5%. Have you considered doing a report on this company? It appears to fit your criteria of companies which have little to no analyst coverage and pay a good dividend.
Q: What is your take on "967 eleven eleven Pizza Pizza" or PZA?
I see that this company is just a hold on TDWaterhouse rating but it pays a decent dividend. It has been around for agesand i still remember the radio catch phrase. It would I believe be a good complement to Boston Pizza and even the Keg... all of them at different markets/price points.

Q: I would appreciate your opinion on Torstar. Although it has secular challenges it seems the news is baked into the price. It's trading at just 3.7 Earnings. The dividend is 6.7% and similar companies in the US (New York Times) have had significant price appreciation the past 12 months due to the potential for digital pay walls. Thank-you.

Q: Hi, thanks for the great information again. I have held WTE for a number of years and done quite well. With the recent news, it looks like it may be dead money for the next few years other than the 4-5% yield. Any thoughts?

Q: Hi team, this may be a fundamental question, but why when a company announces a share buyback, which you would think be a good thing does the stock get slammed. This seems to have just happened to JE Just Energy, even after a dividend cut. Won't a reduction in shares outstanding provided the existing shareholder with a bit of stability in the share price?
