Q: is there any reason to expect meaningful growth in TD during the next year or two? I have a full position and I think the yield is down and the stock is getting tired. I am thinking of selling some (e.g. 20%) shares or selling covered calls in some at about 135/share.. What do you think of the stock going forward for the next two years?

Q: After years of holding this company I sold it for tax loss. I'm confident I have time to rebuy after 30 days without the need of a proxy. The question is, should I rebuy it. Even though it has grown for the last 3-4 Q's as a result of its entry into the RTD market, investors don't seem to care. Perhaps with a risk off market and a shift to value it could run. What do you think? How would you rank this stock, as an income stock with moderate growth or just a straight income stock? What would you consider a better income stock with moderate growth? Can you review it's last 2 or 3 Q's in your response? Thank you.

Q: Have a capital loss with Telus of 23%. Would you recommend selling Telus and buying one of BCE, QBR.B or RCI.B or just keeping cash buying back T after 30 days or doing something else? How would you rank BCE, QBR.B, RCI.B, T for an income account for purchase?

Q: My Interactive Brokers margin rates are now ~2.85%. I am a reasonably sophisticated investor, and understand the potential perils of margin. I do not have a heavy margin balance currently, but would like to use about 1/3 of the available balance to buy Canadian low risk stocks with eligible dividends, ideally monthly.

I've taken a close look at the dividend portfolio. Do any other names come to mind for this approach?

Q: I have full position of both Telus and BCE, both at substantial losses in a margin account. Should I leave them be, reduce, or get out? I do not have much in the way of capital gains this year. If reducing these stocks is a good idea, what would you replace them with in today's very expensive market, not worrying about sector, more about regaining the losses? Could GSY be a replacement or would you consider this much more high risk? Thank you!

Q: Hey everyone, I’m developing a Canadian portfolio with XEI as the core. XEI is heavy into energy and financials so as part of my core it will only be 40 to 50 percent of the entire Canadian portfolio. If you could help me by picking stocks from your three portfolios to round out the portfolio it would be greatly appreciated! It really doesn’t matter how many stocks you pick as it’s $10 a trade and will be in the portfolio for a long time (hopefully). The only consideration is that it pays a dividend.

Q: Telus just announced *approval* for an NCIB. How does this affect the thinking on possibility of a dividend cut?

If its free cash flow made it barely sustainable before, won't this additional use of funds make a cut even more likely? (Or will they issue more debt/equity?)

Q: A few questions please on Rogers.

Capex:
What direction does 5i see for Capex spending at Rogers over the next say three years? In addition to paying for the remaining 25% of MLSE, will upgrading their cable segment (or some other business need) require large investment and limit debt reduction?

Monetizing their sports assets:
It all sounds great but .... what risks does 5i see to individual Rogers investors, and how serious does 5i feel those risks are, from the controlling Rogers family negotiating a monetization that benefits only them?

Thank you

Edward
