Q: Good morning,
Yesterday, I submited this question and never received an answer. My question was "would you invest in one of these companies? if yes, which one? In which order would put them in investment preference?
I am a long term investor particularly in companies who increases their dividend. The four above have increase their dividend in at least the last 6 yrs.

Thank you

Q: Two general questions:

My ACB on RPI is approaching zero. When I eventually sell, will Revenue Canada consider zero as the minimum possible ACB or am I expected to continue to calculate an ACB once it goes into negative territory?

This is likely more of an issue for my eventual estate, as I assume once one gets to ACB one just collects dividends unless management does something really silly. Is there any other reason to consider selling a reliable dividend payer once ACB gets to zero?

Q: Hello 5i I was hoping you could help me evaluate iep. It seems to have a low p/e of around 5x, but the growth prospects over the next 1-2 yrs dont look positive. Has a big dividend with a yield of around 10%. This company seems to have done well for its shareholders over the years. Wondering what you think. Thanks
