Q: GCL (Collabor) Is this a good candidate and a good time to buy this stock for a yield oriented portfolio?
It is low beta, pays a healthy 8.79% dividend and is trading near the bottom of its 5 year range.

Thanks for your help with this decision.

Q: Good afternoon,
Some very astute investors (eg. Rick Rule) seem to like Altius (ALS) a great deal. However the stock has not performed for a very considerable period. Would you retain a position in this company?
Thank you.

Q: I do a yearly review of my portfolio and stocks I may be interested in buying for the future. This year I decided to add EPS, dividend payout and profit margin to other metrics I look at. Please help me understand how companies can continually pay out more than they take in, especially when their profit margins are low or in the negative. An example I was looking at was BPF.UN. The web site I was looking at shows EPS as -0.15, dividend payout 1.18 and profit margin as -6.48.

My neighbour is an engineer at the plant here in BC and he is quite positive on the company and owns a lot of shares. Should I buy more at some pont? Thank you...JP
