Q: We depend on dividends for almost half of our income, but my gains on Parkland have fallen from 43% at the end of April to about 13.5% today. Can you tell me what has happened to PKI, and should I continue to hold for the dividend or sell and take my profit? - Ted

Q: Your report indicates negative 5-year EPS growth of -8.9% for Enbridge. Would this be due primarily to the number of shares issued growing faster than earnings, because of accounting type write-offs or for some other reason? Is this a concern going forward? Thanks.

Q: Hello: I follow everything on this site about HCG because I'm down 46.27% on this stock. As an investment, I'm wondering if and when I'll b able to recover what I've lost. I'd like to hold the stock for a long term hold, but I am not married to it, and if it will take several years, that's several years of my capital tied up with a stock "waiting" just to break even. It's held in a RIF account. What is your advice? Wait? Sell?

Q: What are your thoughts on Black Diamond as a dividend/long term investment. They are down a great deal due to oil. Also ROE and ROIC has gone down the last few years (usually not a good sign).

Would it be a good time to buy? Is the dividend sustainable?

Q: Noticed the questions around ROE here and your updated report. I just read the Q2 update presentation on the companies website and saw that the ROE has declined from 32% in 2005 to just above 19% in the most recent quarter in an almost steady straight line lower. HCG's stated objective is ROE above 20%. While the ROE is still high, the trend on ROE is not positive and is not meeting their stated objective. Yet you give it an A rating and an avg ROE of 24.7% over 5 yrs. Is the downward trend in ROE a concern to you and the team?

Q: The new report on HCG has the 5 year ROE blank, yet assigns an A. TD rates this number at 22% (TTM); would you agree? Also aren't the brokers deeds of falsifying data fraudulent and actionable by the company? There ought to be some recourse for HCG to recover commissions paid out in good faith. Thanks, J.
