Q: Hi Peter.Thanks again for a wonderful coumn in the National Post, Saturday July 4th. The 5th thing you point that investors should know but don't is that Dividend growth stocks beat everything else. Sound advice. If you were recommending to a 50 year old, the 10 top dividend growers, what would they be today. I know I would find this helpful, and perhaps others would too. Many thanks for the terrific and useful service.

Hi Peter :
Can you please explain the strange trading pattern for BIP.UN Brookfield Infrastructure Partners all day Friday. The whole day there was a ceiling price of exactly $56.00 with volume over 41,000 shares. It is almost as though someone had an unlimited supply of shares on offer at that price.
Could it have anything to do with the bid for Asciano in Australia? What is your opinion of BIP now?
Regards....... Paul K

Q: I am trying to make sense of the latest insider trading report on SGY. It appears that large numbers of warrants owned by insiders expired unexercised on July 2. Is this correct? Does it mean the warrants were under water?
Q: What is your opinion on Hudson Bay Company? Is there more potential as a real estate play as opposed to its retail stores?
Q: BAXTER (BAX.us)just spun half of itself under the name BAXALTA (BXLT.us). Is BXLT worth keeping? BXLT dropped significantly on its first day after spin off (July 1) and continues its descent today. Some of this might be market related. One often sees a company spin off the bad parts of itself. Would you tend to believe that that is the case here ? On BAX itself , in December 2014 your advice on old-BAX implied that it was not too shabby a company (I am paraphrasing and hope I interpreted correctly). Do you have the same view of BAX as the one you expressed 6 months ago?

Q: I wonder if the sum of your report card categories for PM reflect your overall opinion of the company. Your report has 12 categories and PM received 83% of A, 33 % of B and 17% C. Yet, It's overall rating is C+. Does this suggest that some categories should be weighted or do you need more categories or maybe C+ is too severe? ...Sleepless in Niagara
Q: This one seems to me to fit the bill of investment in a good sector, investing in the U.S (supposedly a good place for the foreseeable future) and also taking advantage of US $ rising/ Cdn $ sinking. My finger is poised over the 'buy' button waiting for your advice. Thx, Art
Q: Hi,
Slw is a royalty outfit, this I get but if the royalty is based on an outtake of a potential decline production of the royalty debtors,then is it not that the payout to slw is lower?
If I am correct in my assumption,

Q: Hello 5i team,
Health/Pharma represents 10.5% of my RRIF portfolio; it comprises Concordia, Valeant and Cipher as core holdings and partial holdings (like an ETF) of CRH,GUD,PHM and RX.
I'm thinking of adding NHC to the latter; which of the last five would be your least favourite and why?
Thanks, as always
Antoine

Q: Hi Peter, Team,
From your answers, I understand the Balanced Equity portfolio stocks are mostly Large cap, with roughly 20% MidCap with a couple of Small Caps.
Re: the Growth Portfolio. you have a warning on the page re: the stocks being higher risk. Are all the stocks here Small Caps, with 4 Venture/Micro caps? Are there any Large caps or MidCaps in it? If so, can you indicate which ones? Thansk for the education. sarah

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
Apparently easyhome Ltd. (EH) is planning to change its name to "goeasy Ltd." Would this be because the loan business, in their view, has greater potential than their furniture, etc. rental business?
In general, when a company changes its name, could there be an impact on the share price? Specifically, I'd appreciate your view on this proposed name change. (We just received a voting instruction form.)
Thanks as always for your valued insight.
