Q: Good Morning, I am looking for a Tech stock that has both a dividend and potential for growth. I was looking at C-Com and at first glance it seems to meet my criteria. Could I have your opinion on this stock. If you have any other suggestions I would appreciate your recommendations. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Q: Gamehost's share price seems to be moving down with the price of oil because they are tied to the Alberta economy. Assuming the worst, a prolonged recession of several years, would GH survive? would they maintain their divvy? GH seems like a great contraian pick with a good div. I already own a small position and would like to add. My portfolio is diversified in both geography and sector. Your advice please. Thank You

Q: HiPeter
I know you are high on this stock and guessing you are looking at the big drop as buying opportunity. Other than a few larger caps like CTC,MG,CNQ, I do not buy larger quantities if dividends are under 3%. That is the effective rate now at $8 per share. If the stock went back up to $10 or more,do you anticipate raising dividends to get to that rate or do you believe I will adequately rewarded otherwise(share price appreciation and dividend annually averaging more than a 5% yield on what you call an income stock)
Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi 5i,
Do you believe McDonald's current woes are reflective of the fast food industry as a whole or do you think it's more specific to that company? I've been eyeing a&w for a while but am not sure about the whole fast food industry with more health conscious consumers.

Thanks in advance!

Q: Boyd Automotive is a canadian company, but the majority of their business is done in the USA. With the Canadian dollar sinking fast and the US dollar rising, does that mean that Boyd's profits will be enhanced as they receive money in the stronger currancy? I'm thinking the improving US economy should also be good for Boyd?

Q: In a recent interview Tom Liston said he sees venture capital shifting from resources to technology and believes there are a number of good Cdn tech companies that are IPO capable. In fact he sees a pent up demand in public markets for IPO's.
Do you get the same sense, and if so would this be a catalyst for CF?

Q: I talked to I trade where are GLENTEL shares are held and was told that you can no longer choose the option of cash or shares in BCE. If you wanted to do so you had to say so three days before the shareholders meeting earlier in January. Most people would obviously choose the shares with BCE hitting new highs. Is it still possible to get shares in BCE? THANKS

Q: Hello, on your recommendation I bought Enghouse and am very pleased. It seems like a perfect investment in that there is very little news, it kind of flies under the radar and you look at it a year later and it has had a nice move. Although in a very different business, Winpak's stock behaves similarly. I would like to add Winpak's to my Tfsa. Your thoughts would be most appreciated. Bill
