Q: Atlantic Power is another high-end yielding stock (currently 8.0+%, paid monthly) which has a high-payout ratio (?90+% or so), but positive corporate guidance regarding sustainabilty of the dividend.

Do you think that management guidance here - offsets the concern about the high-payout ratio?

What's the degree of risk in buying this stock?

Thanks

Q: I have seen a lot of placements private or not been done lately with an inordinate amount of warrants attached.
It always was a warning sign for me when a placement of shares was accompanied by 1 or 1/2 warrant.
Is this your opinion?

Q: First of all, I just wanted to say congrats on the new venture. I have been a follower of yours for years, and am a big fan of your analysis and thought processes.

My question is on Trican (TCW). Their last quarter was fantastic (increased dividend and strong profits), and saw the stock rally to ~$19. Since then, like the rest of the sector, it has been badly beaten down, now trading at roughly 5x 2012 EPS estimates. I understand the nat gas sector is experiencing issues, especially in the southern states, but as a long term investor, would you look at TCW at these levels? Thanks in advance.
