Q: I see you continue to omit Whitecap Resources when members ask you for
your top oil/gas companies even though WCP remains in your balanced portfolio. (today you recommended TOU, PEY, RRX AND VET) Is this because they have greater upside from here or is there something else wrong with Whitecap as a top pick? I also noticed you recommended not to chase the current trend towards materials and oil and gas companies. Why is that?

Q: Brookfield is spinning off a portion of its Business Partners division to BAM.A shareowners. The only comparables to BPP I can think of are KKR and BX, neither one having set the world on fire in terms of returns the last few years. Do you think that BPP as a much smaller entity will have better long term growth prospects than either of those two? The CEO of BAM claims the last 5 years has seen great growth in its private equity and continues to see opportunity. Do you agree? Thanks, J.

Q: This morning Larry Summers was talking on Bloomberg. He doesn't see inflation rising "as far as the horizon" and if it was up to him, he wouldn't even consider rising rates until he sees inflation. It's hard to believe rates will go up much at all and therefore, the hunger for yield should remain for years. Let's assume we knew that (a) U.S. rates stay below 0.5% for years (b) you want to minimize your exposition to Canadian housing and economy (no oil stock / office / mall REIT) (c) that you want above 5% plus income. Can you find better stocks than A&W, PizzaPizza and Sienna (AW.UN, PZA, SIA)? If our economy slows, Canadians will keep eating fast food (A&W + PZA). Sales might even go up while restaurants start to struggle (cheaper). They also have no exposition to currency or world issues. As for Sienna, I picked it because it add some growth that isn't tied to world growth or the Canadian economy. Please help me find holes in my strategy. Much appreciated.

Q: I am 69,retired and dependent on my rrif and cpp for income. I have put aside cash in gics which I approximate will cover the mandatory draws for 6 years which I felt would cover an economic cycle and allow stability to the equities and bonds in the portfolio. The cash does grow beyond that sum and is redeployed to best advantage. This is a different approach from the percentage models used . I would appreciate your opinion. Thanks very much for your help.

Q: As a retiree I am looking, mainly, for income from dividends which will, hopefully, increase with time. i have done well in terms of capital gain over the years with TD, which I have gradually reduced, but feel I can get better value elsewhere. Specifically with HSBC having a yield of ~6.3% versus 3.9% - both have a history of dividend increase.
I know HSBC has been through a period of re-trenching and consolidation and wonder if this has stabilised the bank now.
Any thoughts on the switch for this ~1.5% holding?

Q: Is there a way to run a screen for stocks that are:
1) doing buybacks (perhaps using a % of shares outstanding range)
and
2) over a certain p/e (eg 30x)
Thanks Cameron
