Q: As with many other subscribers, I will start with expressing my thanks and compliments for your great service.
I have held Boston Pizza for some time. The monthly distribution has offered a good return in the past and it looks even better as a result of the falling price of the stock. Presently it is about 6.9%; do you see any reason why this might be reduced?
After about a year of slipping, do you see any hope for the stock price to improve?
Thanks, Leonard

Q: I keep these three stocks mostly for the dividend (also valuation for XTC), but I also expect stock growth and/or dividend growth. Timeframe up to 5 years. Would you consider theses stocks still interesting for my purpose? In each case, is the dividend safe? Thanks!

Q: I have A&W, CGX, and BPF.un in my consumer discretionary. I've been thinking of switching out A & W for TOY or DOL for diversification. Does this seem like a reasonable approach for a conservative retiree? Which would be the more stable choice for one in my position, or do you have another suggestion? Thank you so much for your continued help and advice. (CGX has done very well for me)

Q: I have done well over the years investing in the fast food industry such as AW.UN, PZA and others. I am thinking of exiting the sector, at least in Canada, due to the changes being implemented in Alberta and Ontario which will raise the minimum wage significantly. I understand it affects everyone equally but the prices will have to rise at these locations and it could generally force patrons to seek other ways to get lunch etc. The same store sales seem to be slipping in this sector already and now add in higher costs. Unfounded concern?

Q: Hi Peter: I have 2500 shares of BPF.UN which is 17% of my RIFF. This is also 4% of my total investment portfolio. I have owned BPF.UN for sometime wherein the dividend pays a return of 8% on my original investment. Considering your recent remarks about would you suggest I sell, reduce or keep my shares? If I sell can you suggest a replacement? Thank you for your valuable advice. Ron N.
