Investment Q&A

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

Q: Trying to make a decision to buy a small amount (2.5% weighting) in Cominar. Some points:

The 11% yield is or is not covered by cash flow? Ross Healy on BNN says it is and gave it a top pick.

It has so so buildings in Quebec but does seem to be turning them around. A family owns 5%.

Analysts seem to think that if they cut the distribution (to a probable 6-7%0 the stock would go UP.

Is it a buy? Any other factors I am not considering? Thanks

Derek

Q: Hello
Could you please tell me averaged over time what has returned more to an investor dividends or share price (broad market). Or worded another way how much money is paid out in dividends and how much is from share price increase. More of an economics of the stock market question. Is there a value? Example on average $2Billion is paid in dividends and $2Billion is share price increases. This question pertains to the TSX but are all stock markets similar in their returns. Thank You
Jeremy
