Q: I note you last commented a few months back. QTIP is close to a 52 week low. How safe is the ~ $ 10% dividend and what are your thoughts on this for the next 2-3 years. Should I continue to hold (I'm down about 8% since I purchased).

Q: When looking at dividend ETF performance, are reinvested dividends included, or is the stated performance capital appreciation only, e.g. Morningstar performance for CDZ shows a 3.5% dividend and a 5 year total return of 6%.
Thanks Peter

Q: Could you provide an update on A&W?
I bought it for income, your rating and the news that it had acquired the Canadian rights to Pret a Manger. I was recently in London, and Pret is a very strong brand, with outlets much expanded from several years ago.

Q: I hope to retire in about a year. I'll have a comfortable defined benefit, I've used the portfolio analysis to diversify my investments. I have a sizeable cash amount earning nearly nothing at a bank. I have contemplated GIC's but don't like the idea of having my funds locked up in the event I would like to direct it to a project or investment .
Would there be a ETF /bond that would be relatively safe that would mirror the GIC returns?

Q: ,After the 2 divestments in a few weeks DOC have recouped 9M$. Were those divisions cash flow positive? Will this new intake of cash help them navigate through this bad period and until the stock moves up before they have to issue stock. What would be their cash burn rate after the sale of these 2 divisions? I assume those were net positives for the company.
DEEEEEP under water, I don't expect to ever get back in the money unless I keep the stock several years if they make it there. In a registered account there is no point for tax selling. Bad investment, bad timing. Do you have an answer that can make me smile again? LOL LOL
Thank you
Yves

Q: Your last direct response on FLGT was Nov, 2021. Could you update your opinion on a value/growth basis, with a focus on "core genetic" testing elements rather than Covid testing. It seems to be growing nicely in core businesses, e.g., cancer NGS, has a very strong cash horde (from covid work) and, to me, ticks both value and growth boxes.
Thx, John

Q: I like the company, but the share price has crashed. To me the story hasn't changed and is getting better. I know they have to show progress towards profitability. Does 5I agree. If so why is there hesitation in your answers to buy this stock. At this price it only has to go up 9 cents for a 10% return.

Q: I retired last year and then setup a consulting company which keeps me busy less than half time. My accountant advised that setup an investment portfolio within the business banking account. I am looking at one CND bank ETF (25%), One dividend ETF (40%), and one growth ETF. (25%) I would like to add one or two CDN or US growth stocks representing 10% of the portfolio. Can you please give me some choices for the one or two growth stocks? Thanks again!

Q: I invested some speculative capital in the above companies last year in a taxable account. Terrible timing. As we near the end of the year, I plan to sell some of these for tax loss harvesting and use the funds to average down in the others. Which would you sell and which would you average down?
Also somewhat related to this is the fact that I feel as much as there’s a good buying opportunities in some U.S. stocks right now, the high U.S. dollar makes it hard for me to convert CAD funds to USD. Am I right to hold off on currency conversion for now?

When a broker recommends a stock a disclosure is made stating that:
"Broker is a market maker or is associated with the specialist that makes a market in the securities of the subject company"
Can you please explain what this means and whether it is significant?
