Q: Hi, I’m looking at the current 13% dividend for PKI. What is the likelihood of a cut? Their longer term guidance sounds optimistic in this environment. You mentioned M&A in your reply to Gregory. Have you any potential candidates in mind who would be interested? ATD is obvious but would the government approve? Anyone else? Thanks! Heather

We would like to add a couple new names and on our list are TD, MFC, TIXT, GOOG, AMZN and EQB.....if you were advising your son in this situation, how would you rank these 6 stocks for addition to his RRSP? If you could add some colour as to your ranking, that would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks for the great service and advice

Q: Hello 5i team,
I was thinking of selling the rest of my NTR (a bit of CAE) shares to start a position in PBH. This is more to have a non-cyclical position since I currently have none.

In your last report on PBH you state that their dept is Medium/High. How well are they servicing their dept (paying it down or adding to it)?

PBH has also been growing their dividend over the past 5 years, what is the payout ratio for it's dividend? Has the payout ratio increased over the years?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Hello 5i,

In a December 7 question, you include DND in a list of stocks of which you write: We believe these companies fit the description of simple, predictable, strong financial position and undervalued companies: BAM.A, BNS, TFII, CSU, DND, QSR. I have a small position in DND and for me, (aside from the undervaluation) I don't feel like it fits that definition well. There is definitely something I am missing. Can you enlighten me on your logic?

Thanks
