Q: Peter; I own PWF and am a income investor. Cost is $25.75. But I am concerned about any upside re low rates for the next 18-24 months. Would a switch to RioCan make sense ? Thanks,
Rod
What Canadian companies in your opinion have a high probability of being taken over in the next 6 to 12 months and are otherwise good to hold as well for income and growth.
Q: Hi Peter & 5i: My discount broker's site shows Fiera Capital (FSZ) as last having gone ex dividend November 22, 2012, for a dividend that was paid out in December. It also lists FSZ as paying its dividends quarterly, most recently at 8 cents. It's now more than three months since the last ex dividend date and I haven't seen any announcements about the next one. Did I just miss it or is FSZ instituting a payment pattern change? Thanks.

Q: Reko International (REK.V) has restructered in the last 2 years and has been profitable for the last 5 quarters. The family owns approx. 2/3 of the shares outstanding and the company has a hard book value of 4.20. Do you feel that the company is a good investment for high risk tolerant investors?

Q: Fabrice Taylor recently wrote positively about ARC Resources in the Globe. The PE is high however they pay a high dividend too. In your opinion is there too much high expectations built into the price of the stock and are the high expectations unwarranted? If I understand correctly ARC are a gas producer so expectations should already contain some of the low gas prices. According to Mr. Taylor (and others) fracking intially produces high production which drops off quickly. If this is true it may make the stock more risky as they may have difficulty replacing reserves. Thanks
Q: Re: Pengrowth - PGF. Would you read this, "So far this month, 4 insiders at Pengrowth have spent $292,720 buying stock in the public market." to indicate that the dividend is safe. I reduced my position last year swallowing a large loss and am looking at slowly buying back at these levels. Your comments are appreciated. Ronald
