Q: Any concerns about Mitel's debt levels? Like that fact they guided upwards, made a small debt re-payment and stock seems cheap. Good buy here at these prices?

Q: Just a comment about the recent interest in PTG. Several years back when I had a broker account, they bought PTG (as some type of debenture I believe) for my account. The interest payments were good. I then left the broker taking the PTG holdings with me. In 2013 I was notified by PTG that the debentures were being turned in shares and was asked if I wanted cash or shares for my holdings. I opted for cash and a few weeks later I was told that cash was no longer and option - I would have to take the shares. Obviously I was not happy about this. The stock finally started trading. It came out around .75 cents and in a matter of a few days (when I finally found it it had started trading) it was down in the .29 cent area. With a break-even of .42 cents I held on and finally got out recently at .46 cents.
The bottom line of my story here is that I don't think this management is worthy of any level of trust. It's obvious that they will do whatever benefits them and cannot be trusted to keep their word. I wouldn't go near this company with a 10' pole!

Q: Given its record of steady dividend increases and high yield, why is its share price so depressed over the last few years? It looks like a "number perfect" investment to me. So I'm thinking about taking a position in AD and I just don't want any surprises. Please help me out here.

Thanks.

Q: I would like to invest 10% of my portfolio in an international ETF and was wondering what you'd suggest. I'm thinking developed might be better than emerging markets and less volatile? I'd also like to go hedged to the Canadian dollar because I currently have 20% in US stocks, and feel that adding 10% international unhedged would put me in a bad position when the Canadian dollar starts to rise. What would you suggest and do you think 10% is a good amount for an investor 17 years from retirement?

Q: Good Morning, I'm working at rebalancing our TFSA's. I've sold BIN and with this years money have enough cash for 4 or 5 new positions. I'm at around 16% info tech, 33% industrial, 6% finance, 6% energy, 14% consumer disc., 9% health care and 14% real estate. You can see I'm completely missing some sectors that I assume offer less growth. Would you recommend I add some telecom, utilities or materials in my TFSA's? considering I hold some of those in other investments? If not, how much would you add to each of the other sectors? and which would be your top two choices in each? Thanks for the great service. Rod

Q: Good Morning: I have held cpx.pr.a for some time and my cost is well below the 25.00 issue price. However, there seems to be unrelenting pressure on this pref. and I'm left wondering whether or not there is something here that I'm not aware of. Do investors/analysts wonder about the ability of Capital Power to stay in business? The current yield on the pref. in question is very high and yet it does not reset again until nearly 5 years from now. I would appreciate your comments about this pref. and whether or not you see it as a buy, sell or hold at this time. With thanks, Don
