Q: Hi, I understand some investors are selling US dividend stocks because of the possible increase in stock taxes in the US. Is this true? If true and said US dividend stock drops, will the same CDN dividend stock listed on the TSX drop too? If so, does this present good a opportunity to accumulate shares in the same stock on TSX? Thanks Larry

Q: CHE.UN. I read your recent commentary on this company. I am surprised that this stock is not down considerably considering they have missed their last four quarterly EPS estimates?? This is according to the data I have from CIBC Investors Edge. Most companies miss and the shares get punished beyond what one would consider reasonable. Your further comments please.

Q: Any thoughts on HNZ.a? I know they missed a little with earnings this week. But a 20% haircut looks harsh.

Q: Wajax (WJX) and Genivar (GNV)

Two-part question:

I have recently added these to my (beginning-investor) portfolio, only to see (abnormally-large?) large drops in recent days in both stocks. In general reading on various investor sites, both of these are identified as "currently-oversold" -- what does this term mean?

I understand the police raids on GNV's office are likely a significant factor in that share price drop (?), but can you offer any insight into what's happening at WJX?

(I added both to my portfolio for what I think were and still are sound business reasons, and have no intention of bailing out!)

Q: Great job, 5i team. I am learning a great deal as a result of your efforts. I am curious as to your thinking on Student Transportation (STB). It seemed to recover a bit after the bout of short selling in the summer but has more recently begun a further decline at a pace that exceeds that of the market generally. With an ACB of about $5.80, should I move out of this or is there life in the old bus still? Thanks

Q: Could I get your opinion on the news from Mart today. I have fairly large part of my portfolio in it and still have a gain of roughly 10%. Should I be patient as this is temporary or step out while I have a small profit. I hate to sell at a bottom or panic with so many positives ahead for the company, but could they be shut in for a long time? Thanks

Q: Peter,

In June, I asked your opinion about WFR and it was negative. The company has earned about 44 cents in the last two quarters and they also beat the revenue expectations this quarter. Tha company is also trading close to its 52 week low. Considering the year-end tax loss selling is near and the pressure from fiscal cliff uncertainty, do you believe this is an appropriate time to buy and its better to avoid. Thanks

Q: It looks to me that TBE's report was very good. Do you agree and would you buy it at these levels? Thanks.

Q: You recently answered a question regarding Aberdeen Asia-Pacific, but I wondered if you could expand a bit on what the currency risk is vs the Canadian dollar? What would the warning signs be? Also do you think their dividend is sustainable? I appreciate that you seem to think earings are not as relevant as some others do.
Thanks

What are your thoughts on Corby CDL. Would this be a good dividend growth stock for the small retail investor?
