Q: I'm dreaming of buying a beaten down stock with a great dividend at its lowest point. Am I living in a fool's paradise? Would you buy it here? Concerns over it's dividend being cut?

Q: Looks to be substantial insider buying at Telus in the last 3 months as well as a company buybacks.Can you please confirm this as my source is canadian insisider.
Q: I notice for so many stocks that there is a huge increase in trading volume in the last 5 days or so of every third month. South Bow is a nice example. It trades about a million shares or less daily for most of the time then trades 3 to 5 million shares daily for the last 5 to 7 trading days in the months of March, June, September, December.. The pattern repeats every quarter.
Could you please explain this pattern for me.
Thank you Paul K.

Q: If you had 10K to invest - and were interested in dividends and some growth, in what order would you rank these regarding total anticipated returns ?
Q: I recently sold my Hydro holdings and replaced it with BEP.UN partly to help increase my dividend/income, this was done in a RRSP. Thoughts and a comparison of the two. Also can you comment on the recent announcement of issuing shares of BEPC to buy shares of BEP.UN it looks like BN are not happy with the current price spread of the two.

Q: I am looking for a list of dividend paying stocks that you feel will do just fine in the next 2 to 3 years and that will likely continue paying dividends. Besides continuing to pay attractive dividends it would be a bonus if the price would not take a significant hit with a correction. I have listed 2 of them to consider. Please comment on those 2 as well as some of your picks.

Q: I know your not crazy about this stock,but looking at it from purely an income play the dividend has already been cut and its pays 7% and other than a couple very temporary blips its basically at an all time low(i know could still drop more)im just thinking i could possibly hold this company between 5.50 and 7.00 for a long time and collect a nice payout and who knows the canadian landscape of these types of companies is getting smaller every year,could be a take out candidate,could you tell me the payout ratio,new management any possible head or tail winds you see in the next couple of years possibly... THANKS

Q: In one of recent reports you suggested to sell full position of CPD mentioning "better opportunities". I noticed that CVD also disappeared from your Income Portfolio as well (it is more explicable for me). Can you suggest potential alternatives for substitution of CPD / CVD considering relatively high dividends they pay and relatively low volatility? (may you consider ZMO or ZPAY... or something like that - kind of speculations :)). Thank you for great service!
Q: Between BAM and BEPC ...which do you prefer for income and growth in this current environment? I currently have a full position of BN for growth as well as a full position in BAM which provides some income but little growth as of late. I am considering selling BAM and moving to BEPC. I would appreciate your thoughts on this please.
