Q: Could you give me your opinion on the BlackRock Dividend Income Trust (BQY-US). It is a closed-end fund selling at about 10% discount to its value. It has a nice yield,7.4%, but the fact sheet on this fund gives rather limited information; e.g.,no MER is listed. It seems small but would it be alright for income?

Q: Hi 5i team I shorted RET a few weeks ago based on its poor results over the past few quarters. and it continues to drop. Although it has a strong balance sheet it seems to be partially funding it's 11% dividend from the balance sheet. With significant competition in the retail space do you see continued losses for this company

Q: Hello
several years ago I (like many others) was blindsided by the Harper Gov't. when they flipped on their promise of taxation on Income Trusts. I can't help but wonder about future government taxation changes to Reits, with more and more corporations spinning out their realty holdings. Would appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you

Q: Hi Peter and Gang,
My question is with regards to LIQ. I bought it back in May after reading your report. At the time the stock was rated a B-and was around $18. I bought some more when it dropped to $16 in August. I see today it is already touching $15. Is there any more information regarding this company that would cause it to be having so much negative pressure? Would you still maintain your B- rating? Would you recommend additional purchases, hold or sell? Thanks

Q: I'm usually looking for good dividend stocks for an income portfolio. I'm now considering a small (speculative) position in a new and very interesting technology, 3D printing. It started in plastics and is now moving into metals. I'm starting to agree that' it's going to be a real game changer. Are you following any stocks in this area, are there some strong leaders to consider investing in? With anything new I'm sure there's lots that are more fluff than substance.
