Q: Hello Peter & team.
I bought DCI-T (direct payments) a while ago at $25.49 & wonder if it is worth keeping. I am retired, like dividends & some growth & have a 3 to 5 year time horizon. DCI is now less than 1% of my portfolio. Should I keep it or move on to something else ?
Thanks in anticipation, Best wishes, Paul.

Q: Hi Team 5i - I'm interested in buying an investment in the railroad industry without buying the rail companies. I believe a company called Trinity (TRN) manufactures rail cars. If so, do you think the company is a good investment at it's present level? Do you know of other companies that provide services for the rail industry that are current buys?

Q: BPO: I bought call options of BPO at 0.63$ with an expiry date in January at 19$. Those options are now worth 3.75$. What would be the impact of each scenarios: 1- Selling my options now 2- Buying BPO shares at the expiry date 3- if the buy back is before expiry date, take the cash and shares of BPP in the offer.

Q: Regarding the BPY.UN takeover of BPO I have a 60% gain on BPO in my taxable acct. I had read yesterday (can't find the reference now) that I could elect to rollover my BPO shares to BPY.UN on a tax deferred basis so I would not crystallize my Capital Gain and have to pay tax.
Is my interpretation correct? I am certainly comfortable holding the combined entity and receiving the higher dividend.

Q: HLF:
This latest acquisition of American Pride seems good; paying 25% of sales. I'm concerned that they paid nothing for goodwill which may indicate that it is losing money. Please comment.
Please comment.

Q: Hi 5i Team,
There were two preferred shares recommended on BNN this afternoon, PWF.PR.S (rated P1) and BRF.PR.E, that I would like a second opinion on.
Both offer healthy yields, and sell at discounts to their call prices. I am thinking of boosting my preferred share content in my dividend-oriented portfolio. Other than interest rate risk, do you see any red flags on either of these issues?
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: Hello
I am on the fence for investing in ECA.
The recent news on the impending court case for polluting well water has me wondering if they are too risky.
Looking at their previous highs ECA looks like a great opportunity.
Would you have any recent research or opinion available.
Thanks in advance.
Your Q&A is a great resource.

Q: I have a 3/4 position in AFN. I just found that the ebitda has dropped from 55.6 in Dec '09 to 44.2 in Dec 12. How can I find the ebitda today, and how significant is it in this particular stock? I'm willing to wait for better numbers if the dividend is safe?
