Q: As a follow up to my question on Target. What would be a replacement for it? I am a dividend investor with some growth stocks. I aleady have NWC, PEP, PBH and PG. Should I just add to NWC as it is low right now with the 4% dividend, add equally to these or is there a particualr peference of another such as KO?

Q: Good Morning

Both my wife I own shares in ECN and have been long time owners and over the years have done very well. However now in our mid seventies and with the new focus for ECN if now would be a good time to exit our position and invest in something more appropriate and conservative for our age. Selling half would leave us with to small a position so either sell all or retain it?
What are your thoughts and if sell is the suggestion what would those suggestions be?
we are over weight in both financials and TECH
We understand you are unable to provide direct guidance
Thks

Q: Big pullback in Adyen today. It has been a stellar company historically. Do you see this as a buying opportunity or the first of more red flags to come and more of a wait and see story? thx

Q: In a recent answer from 5i, it was said that BN was "sitting on a lot of capital waiting for attractive buyout opportunities".

A few questions I have are:
Do we know how much capital or cash that BN has to buy attractively valued opportunities? If they were to deploy this capital, would it move the stock positively? Historically, does BN buy slowly or do they make large purchases?

Q: Upon reading and re-reading the announcement by CSU of the “warrant dividend”, I am still confused and have several questions. I like to understand what I am buying and/or being given, and I don’t fully understand that in this case.

1. Do these warrant dividends cost me anything? I am fairly confident the answer is NO, but please confirm.
2. Is there anything that I need to do, or will the warrant dividends magically show up in my account one day?
3. Once I get the warrants how will they appear in my (RBC) investment account. They won’t be listed on the TSX or any other exchange until the “Company Redemption Right” is exercised so I am not sure what to expect to see.
4. If the warrant dividends are not trading, what value can you ascribe to them? Just use the nominal fair market value of C$0.0001?
5. When the dividend warrants can be traded, will they be traded like a regular stock?
6. When I sell a dividend warrant in a non-registered account, are the proceeds from the sale considered a dividend, interest, or a capital gain? I guess since it is a type of dividend, I speculate it would be treated as dividend income.
7. Is this something that is good, bad, or indifferent for a CSU shareholder?
8. Is it possible to give an example of how this would work from the point of view of a CSU shareholder and the debenture holder. Assume today’s price of CSU and CSU.DB
9. Based on your experience with this type of situation if I could sell my warrants today, what price range would you speculate they are worth?
10. Have you seen this done with other companies? If yes, which ones, and how successful was it for the warrant dividend holder.

A lot of questions, but take as long as you need to answer them.

Thanks,
Paul

Q: I am holding 200 units and 130 units in registered and cash accounts respectively. Recently a special warrant dividend will be given to each unit of CSU share holders. I do not own the series 1 debenture and have difficulty to comprehend the debenture matters.
Please advise what are the appropriate actions to be taken for unit holders. Thank you for your great service. Bill.
