Q: Hello Peter
I can't believe the price for some of these stocks,the banks, the pipelines, etc. etc. There are so many of them.
If one has some cash, is it better to wait for better opportunity or buy and collect the dividend and wait.
RRSP and TFSA season will soon be upon us. Is the world coming to an end or is this just a good buying opportunity.
If there was a sale like this at Best Buy or Apple Store or other major department stores, we would be running there in an instant. You understand these thing better than I do. What is your opinion? Would you wait or buy??
Merry Christmas to you all.

Q: Are you sure about your last answer on the amount paid out by this company in dividends last quarter? You may have taken the market cap instead of shares outstanding to calculate the $11 million you quoted.
I checked two sources and one shows 111 million shares outstanding and the other shows 112 million.
The last monthly dividend annoucement was for 0.01854 per share.
This should works out to about $2 million per month X 3 months = $6 million paid out per quarter, not $11 million. Big difference!!
Once the full effect of the new royalty deal comes into play, this $6 million should be fully covered.

Q: Do you think the dividend is sustainable in light of the impairments recently announced? They are collateralized adequately so I would assume so but if they lost in court would they have to cut the dividend? Thanks.

Q: Hello I have some money I can put in high risk small cap. It would be a very small percentage of total portfolio. I would like to consider one from the oil and gas sector (I hold some PPY so if you have another name that would be great), and a couple of small caps from your growth portfolio if you could recommend same. Thanks as always, Bill

Q: Stock has been declining with the price of oil. I have learned as the dividend yield increases due to a stock price drop, the liklihood of a dividend cut increases and this company has cut its dividend before. Do you foresee a dividend decrease here and would you expect the stock to increase or decrease in such an event. Continue to hold for the long term?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Posting only small tastes of the new ETF & Mutual Fund letter is too much of a game of "Here kitty kitty," and doesn't seem appropriate for a loyal following that is glad to spend money for what they feel is a good value. Could you post either the full issue or a couple full articles from it? Thank you.
