Q: hello, a member asked if PHM was a USA corporation and was subject to "FORM 1135". you replied "yes". I contacted Dennis Wilson (corp development) at PHM & CXV, he told me PHM and CXV are both Canadian companies, WHO IS RIGHT/WRONG? and WHY? THANKS, fred

Q: In January 2015, you gave Enghouse a rating of A-. ESL just released its second quarter results. Revenues are up by profits for the first six months are down. The stock dropped over 3% in one day. Is it time to sell my position?

Q: Have been doing some research on this company. Looked at fundamentals on both TD and BNS and found it odd that the figures differed greatly. Is one more current than the other, and how does one determine what is right/wrong? Am interested in this stock but would like a little more accurate information on their financials and management effectiveness. What are your thoughts? Many thanks.

Q: Is there any reason for the slide in the stock??
Are yo still holding it?

Q: This is more of a comment than a question re DRT. i noticed in your last 5 or 6 responses to DRT questions it was never mentioned that insider selling has occurred. If my information is correct then it appears like almost 6 million dollars of insider selling has taken place.I'm just wondering if it should have been factored into your recent answers, thanx Norm

Q: Could you name some other companies like New Flyer that sell a lot to the USA proceeds and are Canadian stocks

Q: What is your outlook for Zargon? Balance sheet?It's payout ratio? Safety of the dividend (it has been cut once), would you recommend this stock or would you prefer another dividend payer?

Thank you

Q: I understand what P/E and EPS mean but I do NOT understand what "trailing" means when this term precedes either of these acronyms. Further on the G&M Watch List, these terms also, at times, include an * (asterisk). What is the significance of the asterisk?

Thanks

Q: I would like your recommendation on ETFs for the US and Int'l portion of my portfolio. First a little background. My wife and I are both retired and in our late 50's with company pensions and CPP and OAS available when we reach age 60 and 65. Given that these income streams are secure and cover living expenses I have structured my Investment portfolio with 10% Fixed Income (CBO) and 90% equities of primarily dividend paying Canadian companies. I would now like to increase my US to 10%, Int'l exposure to 7% and Emerging Markets to 3% and want to continue to earn a good dividend yield. I would like to keep all my holdings in Cdn $ and am considering the following ETFs. The stock selection methodology of these ETFs should provide less volatility with a good and growing dividend. These would be for a long term hold.
U.S. - ZDY - 3.0%
Int'l - ZDI - 4.0%.
Emerging - RXD - 2.7%
Your thoughts on these choices or alternatives would be appreciated.

Q: Hello, Peter
