Q: I have no metals or minerals in my portfolio. I seem to be getting a late start on this sector but I was deterred by negative EPS in most of these companies. If you could suggest one company to start, what would you suggest. I am a balanced investor and have been looking at LIF because of its dividend and HBM and CS for growth and concentration in copper.

Q: I am assuming that the rise in AW can be attributed to their new initiative to get younger entrepreneurs to buy franchises. Seems like a good idea but I am wondering what risk the company (i.e. the Royalty Income fund) is taking on given that the new franchise owners are in effect being subsidized by not having to pay for leasehold improvements, although rent will recoup those costs. From your past remarks, you have noted that the Fund has few real expenses so who pays for these improvements and does the new program add any new risk to the dividend or earnings?


Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hello, I would like to purchase has some more of these shares but am worried about the potential of the USA cross border tax and especially in the health care field. Do you believe CRH would be included in this tax and should I hold off and see what happens and how will I be able to tell when or if the tax will be imposed? Thanks for your insight.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and team,

I have a quick regarding Colabor Group. Is it a turn around story worth investing. Will the dividend come back. What is the business model and is the debt manageable. Is the company for a stable and organic growth or high growth potential. Thank you in advance.

Q: Now that Apple has risen to within 1% of its all time high and I am finally at a position slightly higher than when I bought, I am considering selling the shares and would be interested in your latest view on whether this is a good time to sell, or whether there is any advantage to waiting a while.
The shares are held in my wife's RRIF and if sold, I would want to buy something else in the same sector, or move into the health/pharma sector.
I bought the shares a few years ago after asking your advice and you suggested to buy either AAPL or GOOG. I suspect that GOOG has done much better since and I have to say I was never really impressed with the low dividend that AAPL pays, especially considering how much cash it has on hand.

Does the tech sector still have legs? Are there any companies you like in the tech sector in the US that pay a 3%+ dividend and still a chance of growth?

Thanks in advance for your deliberations.

Q: Hi, I am thinking of buying CARA. In the consumer cyclical sector, BPF.UN, QSR & AW.UN are all trading above their 200 day SMA, while CARA is well below its 200 SMA & is trending down in price. What are your thoughts on why CARA is out of favour with investors while other stock prices of companies in the similar business are increasing in value. Thanks … Cal

Q: I think Aquila has been raising money by selling shares which were over-subscribed. It looks like insiders have purchased 24% of the issued shares. Finder's fees (cash and warrants) have been awarded to company insiders I suppose. Certainly there has been share dilution but surely dilution is preferable to borrowing money against non-existant cash flow. I know the stock is high risk but my exposure is very low - less than 0.1%.
