Q: Hi Peter, Ryan & Co.,
I bought PKI about 5 yrs ago, and it's done very well for me. I am a bit disappointed, however, with the rather slow dividend growth (this is the reason I bought it). As you noted, it's payout ratio is only 35%. So now I'm debating whether or not I should sell my position and invest in something else with a higher, growing yield, or wait in the hopes that PKI will be a bit more generous to its shareholders. What do think? Is the company hoarding cash for a specific purpose, or can I expect dividend increases in the future? Thanks,
Brian

Q: this covalon thing is a bit distressing all because of a tweet by this freeland character who seems completely out of her element whether its nafta or anything else.the conservatives are looking better everyday but that is not the point.
the point is the saudis have said they will not do any new business with canada and seem to emphasize that existing contracts stand as is.so why the massive sell off in covalon, is it just retail investors panicking— probably mostly 5i members and just after you had it as a top pick on bnn.
the stock market can be a crazy place where a tweet can cause such a sell off in a stock. please comment.dave
