Q: Team:
What does Valeant do?
Research. Little or none.
Piles on massive amounts of debt to buy companies. Raises prices.
May or not be stuffing the channel to record higher sales.
Accounting is probably aggressive.
Been around for 49 years seen this story before.
The debt or the deception will get them in the end.
Reading your answers you do not seem to have the same level of concern.
One of the earlier questions got this right.
PANIC.

Q: Greetings: Here is summary of TSX stocks, showing current dividend yield and the next ex-dividend date. I spot checked a few stocks and guess that the yield data may be a few days behind, but it's a good summary. One can download the list Excel and then sort it on the yield column. A staring point for further analysis. http://dividendhistory.org/tsx/

Q: I am looking to add a solid, long term real estate investment to my portfolio. I am trying to decide between RioCan and Brookfield Office. They both seem well managed, large and well-financed. The main differences I see between the two is that one (BOX) is the office space while the other is more retail oriented and secondly, BOX has international holdings (mainly US?) while REI is said to be exiting the US market.
What are your views on these two companies or is there another option I should be considering (I know yo like Chartwell)? I am more interested in total overall return, whether it be from dividends, growth or both.
Thanks for insight.

Q: Good day, I am not risk adverse and sometimes that can get me in trouble. This stock looks like it is overblown to the downside. I know you would never recommend it but if my Healthcare allocation is ~5%. Would now be a good time to load up, maybe beyond a full position in this stock, or is that too dangerous with it falling like it is? I am thinking just above 5% of my portfolio?
Q: Regarding Maida's post on CINVEN buying 7.2M shares today. Is that news accurate. I've been trying to find any news on internet (incl. their webpage) to no avail. Someone at stockhouse.com says news came from Reuters (couldn't find anything). Have you guys verified this? If so, maybe you can provide the link.
Thank you!
Thank you!
