Investment Q&A

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

Q: Just an observation, wouldn't be better if (at least for the companies covered, and maybe for the ones mostly asked by members) when results are available or something unusual happens to a company to provide an overview of the situation? I think this will cut on the clutter and having many people asking about the same thing and probably more important save you time and for us to have timely information.

Publish at your discretion.

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan & Co.
I've been holding Keyera for over 5 years, mostly for the income. They announced a 6% dividend increase yesterday, along with quarterly earnings. Can you please comment on the latest quarterly results wrt volumes, cash flow, and whether KEY can continue to increase its dividend by 5-6% per year looking forward?
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan and team:
Two questions if you would be so kind to consider.
I have read numerous times your or members use of the term 'half position' Could you explain in layman's terms what is a half position and what is a full position. Maybe an example would clear it up for me.
Question #2 is about A&W's declared dividend.
"A&W Revenue Royalties Income Fund (the Fund) (TSX symbol AW.UN) today declared a cash distribution of 13.3 cents per trust unit for the period April 1 to April 30, 2017. The distribution will be paid to unitholders of record at the close of business on May 15, 2017, and will be payable on May 31, 2017. This distribution will be taxed as a non-eligible dividend, as the source of funds to pay the distribution is a dividend from A&W Trade Marks Inc." What and why is it they state the distribution will be taxed as a non-eligible dividend. Will this then be taxed like interest? If held in a Non-Registered account will this still be taxed at the preferred dividend rate, assuming a T3 slip is issued? Thanks again for all your answers to the many questions you receive. Ken ... :-)
