Q: I bought both ZAR and RET.A for their dividend but have taken a beating on them. Would you sell and purchase something more promising in the same sectors? What are your recommendations? Thanks for your great service.

Q: I HAVE accumulated $50K cash in my RRSP which I would like to deploy. Should I wait until Dec. and tax loss selling or buy something now? I was thinking of MSI -what do you think-any other suggestions please. I already have solid holdings that pay dividends and have increased regularly-so, a stock with growth and dividends would be nice-another BAD or ACQ maybe which I have in another account-if only eh?? Many thanks..JP

Q: We own several Reits, pipelines and telecoms and have heard that if the interest rates go up these sectors will go down in value. Is this correct?

If so, what would it take to bring them back to current levels?

If we wanted to invest more in these sectors, when do you think a good time would be?

Thank you

Q: When trying to evaluate the earnings per share and growth rate for a high tech co., do you look at the EPS, the Net Income/sh, the EBITDA/sh or perhaps something else? Would this apply to most other sectors as well? I'm under the impression that for O&G producers Funds From Operations is more important and perhaps for other sectors Free Cash Flow?
Thank you.

Q: PAR.UN - Partners REIT. Its quarterly report stated: "This year over year decline can be attributed to provisions made during the quarter for uncollectible debts and adjustments to recovery revenues related to prior years". Has the market over-reacted to the adjustments? Banks seem to regularly adjust their NOI by jigging uncollectable debts.
Appreciate your comments.
Thanks,
Ronald

Q: MSFT- I held this one for a while and sold at $32 due to poor Q results and negative street view. It has steadily moved up to over $38 on what news? Announced to-day a deal to share software code through another tech company the ramifications of which I have no idea going fwd as it pertains to MSFT's EPS. I'd like to own a software stock and I am wondering if I should wait on this one as it pays a decent dividend with room to go higher??

Q: Hi,
I have a double-weighting in Goldcorp (G) and notice it is relatively volatile in price. Does it make sense to try to hold something to counter-balance this in my portfolio? Or should I just accept a bit of volatility in 10% of my stock portfolio? If it makes sense to counter-balance what would you recommend? The rest of my portfolio consists of 5i model portfolio stocks (except the B or lower rated ones). Thanks! Michael
