Q: Hi,
The BCE dividend is presently at almost 9%.
Would it be a smart move to buy it just for the dividend? The thing is I don’t want to lose capital that offsets the dividend either.
Knowing no one can predict future company actions, do you think they will cut their dividend?
Do you see the stock price drop if they don’t raise their dividend in February?
Where do you see BCE stock price in 5 to 10 years? Does it at least stay flat?
Thanks

Q: I see that you and many analysts use forward PE instead of trailing when valuing a company. I understand that trailing PE is the recent past earnings, and forward PE is obviously the projected future earnings. But wouldn't it make more sense to use the trailing since its recent actual earnings, when the forward earnings are at best a projection or estimate, which is often quite wrong? Just curious why the industry standard seems to be the more inaccurate of the two. Probably because markets are forward looking, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thx

Q: DRX has announced great profits, new contracts and the buyback which happened after the last quarter. Negatives could be upcoming US elections, the buyback being treated as Insider selling and the deferral of revenues from this quarter to the next. There seems to be no retail support for this stock, or retail support is not sufficient to offset the institutional selling. What would be the steps that management needs to take to stop the bleeding on this stock as it has been in a down draft since the high of $20.8?

Q: Hi I asked this question last week and think it may have slipped through.
I am down 6% on ATD. I am thinking of selling to claim the capital loss but concerned of it popping back up in the short term. Where do you see it going from here? Would you sell and buy back after 30 days or move to something else? What other top 5 CDN or US stock would you consider to replace it in the same sector for a 5 year hold period. Thanks
