Q: Timbercreek Mortgage Corporation TMC
Hello 5i.
I am a holding of TMC bought at lower price. Today's news looks like a good initiative and beneficial to holders of TMC - company size, TSX exposure and reduction of fees paid.
Would you please comment on how a holder of TMC should interpret the news? What are your thoughts on TMC from dividend sustainability given it trades at an 8.78% yield today?
Current trading has investors indicating they do not like the transaction.
Thanks
DAve

Q: I own both of these companies. I noticed that PKI is now Canada's 2nd largest distributor of propane. I assume SPB would be No. 1. I have been increasing my holdings of SPB via CUS. It is making for a sizable positon in propane for me I am surmising. How closely related are SPB and PKI business models? If they are closely related and I was to sell down one (I do like the divvy of both) which would you choose?

Q: What do think about comparing the current dividend yield to the historical yield of a stock as a way of assessing its value as an investment? i.e., if the current yield is greater than the historic yield (the average yield over the past five or ten years), than the stock would be a "buy" (notwithstanding other factors) or a better value than companies in the same peer group with yields lower than the historical average yield.

Q: Can you please comment on Rogers Sugar's latest earnings release? It appears to have beaten expectations, in part to lower costs. Do the latest results suggest Rogers' stock is due for a prolonged upward movement in the coming quarters, and what do you think of the safety of the dividend at this point?
Many thanks,
Brian
