Q: The EPS of Altagas for 3/18 is shown on your "companies" chart at .38, whereas you had stated to Jason on Mar 1 re his question on ALA results that the EPS was in line at .36, wouldn't that be a miss? The EPS for ALA for the next quarter (6/18) is shown as .14, why the big drop, is the falling cdn$ and rising interest rates going to cause any problem for ALA carriage of debt?

Q: Hey 5i,
My question is about what kind of upside remains in CRH after its bounce off the bottom? Any idea of a target price and is it even possible to reach the high prices of the past?
That said AltaGas has tanked and am wondering if I am better served selling CRH and getting some ALA. do you think there is big upside there? And they are going to more utility then pipeline after the acquisition? Thanks

Q: I hold Crius primarily for income. The sharp drop today though was a big surprise...despite knowing that Seeking Alpha is behind it and they could be spreading misinformation.
While I plan to continue holding for now I would like to be reasonably confident that Crius has been and is being responsible in managing dividend payouts. That information will be pivotal in deciding whether or not to buy more.

Would you please outline the “math” to support the fact that Crius. been fiscally responsible in this regard ....or not.

Thank you for helping out here.

Q: I averaged into BGI as I purchased a 2.5% position in a RIF portfolio I'm now down 13% from the average purchase price, the dividend yield is now 9.5% do you think this is sustainable? Also do you have an opinion on why this is not doing so well compared to the other parts of Brookfield which seem to be firing on all cylinders.

Q: Good afternoon,
Can you help bring some light to the Rogers Sugar news release and halt, sounds like they are issuing 85M debt to pay off existing 60M debt and some other items I don't fully comprehend other than Mr. Market doesn't like the news and the stock is down 2% Tuesday. What are your thoughts on this development and stock drop?

Thanks,
Craig

Q: Announced earlier today:
"Student Transportation Inc. (TSX:STB) (NASDAQ:STB) today announced that it entered into a definitive agreement with a company sponsored by Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (“CDPQ”) and Ullico Inc. “Ullico”, and CDPQ will acquire all of the Company’s outstanding common shares under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). Shareholders of STI will receive US$7.50 per common share in cash, representing a 27% premium to the 20-day volume weighted average price per common share on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the period ending February 27, 2018, based on an exchange rate of $1.2776 Canadian dollars per U.S. dollars as of February 27, 2018."

It appears two public service pension funds (CDN and US) are joining forces to go into the schoolbus business. Would appreciate your comments on this development. Thanks.

Q: I hold this prefferred stock for years, bought by my then financial adviser. Is 5% of my RRSP portofolio with return -6.89%. It looks like dead money, I think it may be better holding TRP or other income stock. Not sure how this stock works, can I sell it or is better to hold until expires (not sure when?)

Q: Hello 5i Team.
I own these stocks for the dividend, in sectors that are currently getting hit due to rising interest rates (I assume). From your point of view, is it best, if one needs the income, to not be concerned with losing equity value and just continue collecting the dividend and hope that over time, these stocks will recover? Or is it best to sell and research other options. (I am 66 years young). Please also rate these stocks from best to least in terms of dividend safety and growth potential. Thank you for your wise advice.
