Q: Hi Peter and Company,

I have looked at metrics (beta, market cap, p/cash flow ratio, p/e ratio, dividend rate) for the above 3 mentioned IT/tech companies and feel that OTEX seems to have the best metrics among them. Would you please comments on these companies and rank them accordingly.

Cheers,
Harry

Q: I'm long CRH but I'm trying to consider all the negative outcomes that could take place. We are aware of the proposed code changes that will effect the reimbursement rate to CRH. But I keep hearing that private insurers will likely follow suit and cut back their reimbursement rate. If only the gov rate cut is factored into this big pull back could there possibly not be another big pull back if they cut back as well? I know CRH came out and stated what the hit to earnings would roughly be from GOV cuts but aren't the private insurers the majority of their income. Thanks

Q: Why is BNS and the other banks shares price decreasing lately? With the positive economic news and increase of interest rates, I would have thought that the bank shares would be moving higher.
With increasing interest rates and banks at attractive valuations, would it be a good time to go overweight in banks for an income investor who is attracted to the 3.7%+ yields and possible capital gains.

Q: Hi. This is my first time posting a question, or rather three questions. Why would a small-cap company like ABT want to issue dividends? Is there any benefit for them to do so? Is there dividend in more danger of being cut, because they are a small-cap company?
