Q: Hi Peter and Team:
Liquor stores (TSX) is making a a year low, whihc was also repeated in 2008-2009. The yield is 10% as is covered by the cash flow, but only 50% with the earnings. Liquour comsumption is normally seen as secure as people tend to buy liquor in bad times and a lot in good times .
What do you think ??. If I buy it will be a very small part of my portfolio, with the purpose of increasing my average yield and not getting into a risky investment (I already have enough Artis, Superior Plus, REITS and Banks for normal yield with reasonably low risk)

regards
Alex

Q: The selling and lack of buying on this stock seems to be relentless. They have just now closed their convertible debenture. I am wondering if there is some kind of arbitrage going on between the stock and the debenture?

Q: In response to Gerald's question about Amaya and New Jersey approval, David's reply during the Q4'14 earnings call on April 1, 2015 was:

"As it relates to New Jersey, I would say that we feel that this is coming. We would expect to receive and launch, I would say, in the next quarter."

David followed up on this in the Q1'15 earnings call on May 14, 2015 with:

"I think we’re still on track from what I said on the last call in terms of New Jersey."

Those statements (in my opinion) in no way guarantee a launch in Q3. Investors seem to have unfortunately taken it as fact though.

Q: If you could only buy one of BOS and XTC which would you choose?

Q: Your response to Carla, "With some new uncertainty around the auto sector and trade agreements, XTC looks a bit better right now after its $6 drop for no real reason other than the market. "
I believe you meant to say BOS looks better because it is the stock that dropped $6.

Q: Hi Gang

I am presently overweight in Financials. I hold BNS, TD, SLF and BNS. Of these, my BNS has been the weak sister in the past 2 years. I am thinking of selling my BNS because it will trigger the lowest capital gains, and with the proceeds purchase DH. My thoughts are this will keep me in the "area" of banking, but also improve my diversification since I am much lower in the Tech area . I realize I will sacrifice some dividend income, but am prepared to do that if my overall reasoning is logical. I am aware BNS is supported by you, but so is DH.

Your thoughts please.

Thanks

Q: In the future as the debt is significantly paid down they would become a cash cow. If so do think they would then pay a dividend and if so could you project when.
