Q: I am 74 yrs old so I like to pick stocks etc with a decent yield but also short term growth prospects, i.e. 5 years. I have been following your replies in regard to financial sector/banks and wonder what would be better; a higher yielding financial company/bank or an ETF specialising in these. One I have considered is zwb. What do you think? Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi Peter,

I have been following True North Apartment REIT (TN.UN TSX) for a while. The results of its recent quarter announced last week looks reasonably good. However, the price of TN.UN has dropped since then. I cannot find reason for this down shift.

Do you think the current price level presents a good chance to establish a long term holding position?

Thank you.

Your insight in this company would be most appreciated.
Thank you

Q: I was unfortunate enough to have bought ENT at $1.75. They released earnings yesterday which seemed positive and there was very large volume today but very minimal movement in the stock. What will it take to get this stock moving? Would positive news on Keystone be the catalyst?

Q: Hi Peter and Team, is the following correct regarding MND;

Mandalay Resources Corp MND:TSX
A quarterly dividend of $0.77 CAD per share was announced on May 14, 2013 with an ex-dividend date of May 22, 2013 and a pay date on May 31, 2013. The annual dividend for Mandalay Resources Corp is $3.08 CAD per share.

If this is correct, .256666 cents CDN per share monthly, then why is the stock trading at such a discount, at .86 cents? I don't get it, is it an error or have I misunderstood something? Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and team

It is Ross again about EIF.You answered my first question this morning and I sent a second question querying your answer regarding the payout ratio. I have since been in touch with the president, Mike Pyle, who clarified some points. He appears to be using free cash flow to designate what I call cash flow and yes, they are over distributing this quarter because you have to subtract maintenance capital from the "free" cash flow.But the over distribution is only because of the strong seasonality of their results and Q1, 2013 was better than Q1 of 2012. Over the calendar year, their distributions are well below their yearly free cash flow minus yearly maintenance capital.So you may want to ignore my first question. Feel free to publish (or not) whatever you think best. Thanks

Ross
