Q: Hi there

In my spousal RRSP I have recently added DHX.TO,BEP-UN.TO and SJ.TO. I was looking for a fourth to add and was thinking either A&W or Tim Hortons. Which would you recommend or is there some other holding I should consider.

Thanks

Andrew

Q: In response to an earlier question on Boyd, which I hold, you stated ," BYD is starting to look pricey but is actually cheap on a historical basis..." What particular measures are you using to make this judgement as it seems trailing PE is about 28X and Book about $5? My charts only go back to 2003 but I note it traded under $4 a share for 4 of those years so it's come a very long way to here. Thanks, J.

Q: In Wilan’s (WIN) recent annual circular, there is a proposal to “reduce the stated capital account of the common shares in the capital of the Corporation by $120 million”. Is this the same as a share buyback? Can you explain in simple terms what this is and why a corporation does this? (I understand share buybacks, but how is this different?)

Q: Good afternoon,
Re Stantec STN, I have noticed over the last several days that there has been a persistent unusual trading pattern: the stock goes up nicely to high $67's 0R $68 until about 15 minutes before closing and then plunges to no gain or a loss on the day. Although I plan to hold for a long time, I am curious about what this means. Is someone unwinding a large position? Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: Good morning,
1) I am confused with the reported pay out ratio for BEP.UN. I know you have it in your income portfolio and you have stated cash flow for it is a better indicator. However, when researching various sites MSN has it at 112%; Financial Times at 257% and ycharts at 72.69%. I saw one had it at 545%. Would you mind solving this for me. What does your research say?
2) You recently provided an answer to me regarding "BUYS" in the Capped Utility sector.
What would be your top 4 "Buys' ….. long term, income.
Have a great weekend
Paul

Q: Could you compare Morguard( MRC) and First Capital Realty (FCR)? They both get a B+, and have very different client bases and dividends.

Do you have any concerns about FCR being a mall landlord in times when e-retailing is on the rise?

Thank you all! I wish we could get such straight talk from our politicians!
