Q: Hi Peter, I have a LIF with $600 that is just going to sit there for the year. It's not much but I'm thinking of buying 300 shares of WEF. I own Northland Power and Power Corp. in it and would prefer to have a third dividend stock rather than adding to one of those. I should be able to hold all three stocks for years. Would this be worth doing and would you have any other suggestion? Thanks.

Q: Hi Guys

Q: Hi Peter and Gang,

I would appreciate your thoughts on BAM.A's significant pull back over the past two months. I have a full position in this stock -- should I ride it out or should I start reducing my position.

Thanks,

Q: Hello 51 Team,
In anticipation of suggested growth in Infrastructure spending in both Canada and the US, and as well the SP pullback of each due to recent market overreaction, WSP and BIP.UN are looking very attractive right about now. In as much as I would like to eventually own both, I can only chose one at this time. They would be part of an Income oriented portfolio with a leaning towards stocks with a solid upside potential, expressed not only in terms of share price but consistency of dividend increases as well. Can you offer any assistance in making this very difficult choice between the two?
Thank you as always,
Rick

Q: I own 300 shares of CSE. I phone BMO and asked to tender my shares at the price of 4.90. They quoted as saying they cannot do this as it is a friendly merger and CSE does not want to pay the brokerage fees for this. How can I get full value for my shares at the earliest time. I want to invest in another dividend growth stock. If I sell on the open market at todays price I will leave $270 on the table. Thanks

Q: I see many members try to ask multi company questions and treat 5i as a personal financial consultant.... I wish 5i stick to the original idea of "Asking Question" .. so that members can ask one company at a time for the benefit of all members.
Thank you.

Q: I am wondering, when adding new money to my portfolios, WPK is down 5% from its 52wk high and ATD.b is down 6% whereas GIL is down 24% and MG is down 36%. These names are just examples of some possible additions. Assuming diversification is not an issue what do you do? Buy the stocks that have corrected the most or buy the ones that held their value through the correction? The price/book of MG is 1.6 and the other three are all over 3. Can you give me some guidance? Thank you.

Q: The majority of the 'approval' boxes have been ticked with regards to the deal between cus and spb, yet there is still a large gap between current share price and takeover price. Do investors think it's too risky? Or is it just negative market sentiment holding down the price of canexus at this point?
Thank you.
