Q: Good morning. I own Torstar and they recently sold the Harlequin division of their company. I believe they are winding down the company within the next year or two. Should I hold on to the stock or sell? Thanks

Q: Peter
Best of luck with your bike trip. I was wondering whether the fees paid to 5i can be written off against taxes? Or is it a gray area? Publish this at your discretion but it could be a minefield!!

Cheers Jim

Q: I would like to hedge $100k CDN in case the Loonie falls further against other currencies particularly the $U.S. I was going to simply buy $U.S. but thought there might be a more effective means. Can you recommend something, maybe a composite that is easy to buy?

Q: TN.UN
Hello Peter,
I noticed True North Apartment REIT appears to have bottomed out and is now moving in a
positive direction. I have not been able to find any news as to why this may be happening. Is this a good time to buy and is the dividend safer now (previously a 94% payout ratio)? Thanks.

Q: I was hoping to get your opinion on Oaktree Capital (OAK). Do current fundamentals look attractive? I was looking at this for its dividend (is it safe) and for its potential to outperform and act as a hedge if/when the market takes a downturn. Thanks

Q: Hi
I want to invest $100,000 in 5 Canadian dividend paying stocks. I want each company to have a solid history of paying dividends. I would like the portfolio to be well diversified. Would you please recommend 5 stocks to accomplish this. Or if you think there is a better way to do the same thing, I would like your opinion.
thanks

Q: re: NOC - Northrop Grumman

I know we aren't necessarily covering US equities at length quite yet. "Greenblats Magic Formula" (John Greenblatt) which according to "Seeking Alpha" has had very good success in finding equities with a high ratio of profits to value has consistently identified names which have vastly outperformed the broad market.

NOC which pays an excellent dividend is one of their top names.

Do you have an opinion on NOC?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi Peter and team,
Please advise your thoughts on Canadian Solar Inc (CSIQ) there was positive talk about this when I bought in and it is presently
down 23%. Its a very small part of the portfolio but should one hold out or just sell and move on? Any suggestion as a replacement.

Q: re: CVL Cervus Equip

Trading Volume remains considerably off (65%) daily averages and value is down 10% in past 60 days with the majority of that drop taking place mid March. It has now been holding where it is for the last 6 weeks.

Any update since we last looked at it beginning of April? Would you consider this a buy or hold?

Thanks for all you do

Gord
