Q: Hi Peter & team: Long time member- Great service - Thank You!
With regards to Hans' question about Brian Acker's views on Market call- I took it as more of an issue about when cash dividends in $ paid out per share are greater than EPS. Brian used BCE and ENB as examples of an early sign of trouble and one should avoid such situations. You have handled this in the past (very well) Can you provide us a refresher on the opposing view ? If I remember correctly the net is basically "dividends out greater than EPS is OK, but not forever " Thanks in advance.

Q: RBC lowered target price to 153. Anything to be concerned about? I looked up report section and last time TFII was formally reported upon was April 2022. Can you explain why 5i feels TFII is a top pick? What are the main strengths and weaknesses going forward? What price do you see down the road and why?
A suggestion: company reports should be updated every 12 months. In TFII's case, it's 17 months and counting. I realize there are lots of questions about TFII but a report formally brings it all together. I'm sure your customers would appreciate this.

Q: Blake on Sept 25 talked about adding more shares to some of the falling positions he had and you had recommended two of them would be GO EASY and SunLife. GO EASY I have had since I bought it at $127.00 so I added more GO EASY on your advice to Blake. It underperforms most of my Canadian stocks and so would I be better when it gets up to my most recent purchase of $110.70 to buy ATS or another one of your Canadian recommendations that is out performing GO EASY?

I am mid 70's senior and I found it complicated to get on Chris' webinar. I did not have a GO EASY account and other things required so I did not see it. Thank you

Q: I'm not sure if I should take comfort in the fact that you still have ZRE in the portfolio or not, the last little while has been rough. If you were putting new money into the sector under current conditions would you stick with the equal weight ETF approach or would you just choose a couple of your favourite individual stocks like DIR and/or CAR (or perhaps another ETF that is not equal weight)?
