Q: A recent article in the Globe and Mail showed table of higher yielding stocks on the TSX and their payout ratios - showed CPX with a payout ratio of 250% - thought they had a payout ratio of approx. 50% - is that an error?? and is the dividend safe??

Q: I have the following securities in what I consider a balanced portfolio. The fixed income portion doesn’t show here because it consists of OAS. CCP. Plus two other pensions.
I’m thinking of sell part position in MMX ( small loss);and ARE to realize a capital loss while at the same time raising some cash for the next pullback. I like TFII . We need to keep the food chain moving. Trucking an important part . The other is cargo jet. Am I on the right track . Your opinion. Or would you look elsewhere given the current holdings.
