Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Interested in your thoughts on ARLP. The company is in a sector - coal that nobody other than Trump seems to love. It pays a solid dividend which is well covered by its cash flow, and it paid a dividend through the Obama years, despite some of the regulations brought in at that time. Do you see a place for this company in a well diversified portfolio with some emphasis on safety of capital. Thanks

Q: Hi team,
I am back to TTD again. I bought a 3% position (small for me) a couple of weeks ago. I was tempted to up it just before earnings but held off as U.S. tech can be very volatile and who knows how the market would react. Well, I guess the market approved as the stock jumped 20% on Friday. Hindsight is a wonderful thing! The U.S. analysts are very positive on the story and see a long runway of growth ahead. I think you guys also like the space but were cautious on perhaps someone like Google taking a serious run at programmatic advertising. What I am reading by the U.S. guys suggest that TTD has a competitive advantage over GOOG, FB, AAPL or MSFT as it is unbiased over what advertising platform it would recommend for a client while the big guys would direct advertising just to their own platforms. Would you agree with this thesis or are you still cautious on TTD from pushback from the big guys? I am thinking of topping up to 6% or so if the price settles down again.
Thanks again,
dave

Q: I'm considering buying a 5% share in CC & would appreciate your input on the company. I'm concerned about the debt which was quite high last year.The debt is $2.6B with a net leveraged ratio of 1.8 times on a trailing 12 months basis. Is this coming down or increasing?
The businesses, all three, seem to be doing quite well.Do you agree?Will there be further share repurchases or is it finished.What is the EPS & the free cash flow based on the US tax reform? Is it a buy or should I pass on it?

Q: Hi,
After the recent correction, US banks recovered (JPM, GS, C, BAC) but other finance sector stocks did not (AMP, MFC, AIG). Will future interest rate hikes will not benefit annuity business? At this pull back could AMP:N a good buy if I have some funds in RRSP to invest this year? I do hold TD:T and USB:N and MFC:T.
Thanks
