Q: Your thoughts, please, on debentures trading at or below par. CUS, ENT, EIF, AHF, JE, LRE, RMM to name a few. Anything you like for straight yield? Debentures you've recommended previously all trade above par making them more equity-like than fixed-income like.

Q: Nice move upwards today.
I need to sell some shares in my RRSP to pay tax bills and I had this one earmarked for the chop. Now I'm wondering if I should hold on for a bit.
The trouble is that whenever I hang on for a further rise after an encouraging increase, the price seems to fall to where it was before.
Was there any news in particular that sparked the rise?

Q: Hello,
I am wanting to add another stock to my TFSA, which contains SGY, DSG & ADW.A. Each stock is close to 25% of TFSA but only about 2.5% of total portfolio.
I am considering adding ITP, Winpak WPK, or CCL Industries CCL.B.
Questions:
1. I like all of ITP metrics except for the Forward PE (19.5) which is higher than the Trailing PE (9.8). Should I be reading anything into this?
2. Which company would be your preference for continued earnings growth & growing dividend with 5 yr plus outlook.

Q: It appears hrx blew the quarter right out of the ball park. I know you should not fall in love with your stocks but I find management does everything right here and that we are in a bull market for military and commercial aircraft replacements. Agree? I am thinking of making hrx a 5 percent weighing even though there is no dividend.
Q: Your opinion Please?
Q: Hi, I wonder if you could explain the outperformance of adw.b vs adw.a. I have owned the a shares for a couple of years and while not disappointed I am wondering what it would take to get this somewhat "constipated" stock moving. Thank you very much.
Q: May I please have your advice on what stocks to add to the following (beginning, <2-yrs) portfolio, and/or other recommendations.
My time horizon is 10+ years, although with draw-down expected to start in 3-5 years. Low risk tolerance (except for one "mad money" stock as will be evident!). Strong leaning toward dividends with DRIP wherever possible.
KBL 14%
WSP, DH 13% each
CSS 12%
CPX, PKI, NA 10% each
AM 8%
WJX 6%
TCK.B 5%
I know it's "mad", but I'm interested in keeping the AM for the time being.
I'm needing to redeploy the CSS proceeds into probably 2 stocks, and am leaning towards AFN & CSW.
Thank you folks for all you do, and for any advice you are able to offer here within the constraints of the Q&A format.

Q: Peter & Co. I am building a basket of small cap bioteck stocks. I currently have modest positions in Cipher (DND), Knight (GUD) and ProMetic (PLI). I am lookin to add a couple more small positions to this group. I am considering Nova Research (NRI) and Intellipharmaceutics (I).
