Q: Paul asked today if PRL's dividend has been increasing in proportion to its income increases, or are they increasing the payout ratio. In your answer, you mentioned the dividend is up by 30% compared to last year at this time, but you didn't compare this to the income increase. PRL had an 84% income increase in 2023 compared to 2022, and in Q1 of 2024, the income was up 77%, so in fact they have been DECREASING the payout ratio, as the income has been increasing at a much faster rate than the dividend.

Q: Hi Group is it a no brainer to buy CWB and sit on it until deal goes thru? Looks like around 25% upside simply waiting on the deal to go tru with the only risk being government intervention. What do you think?

Q: Hello
I'm looking to include this company in my rrsp account. I would like to hear your analytical opinion on holding this long term. I am however curious to know how can they pay such a juicy dividend when most of their holdings pay less in distribution and has been lagging in the markets lately. Finaly, is this something you could see yourself including in an income portfolio.

Q: The Go Easy stock has see close to a 12% drop following the announced CEO transition which has been viewed as negative due to uncertainty in the succession.
Do you expect the stock to fall any further as the transition for Jason Mullins (the CEO) is not expected until the end of the year and Jason will then still have a presence on the Board of Directors?
Do you believe the reaction to the news has had an exaggerated impact on the Stock valuation.
