Q: 5i Research has been always positive about BCE and its high yield as manageable and the Management is doing a good job through challenging times. BCE bonds last week were rated at just 2 notches above junk by Moody & S&P Globe ratings. I am wandering if you can justify your optimism in this light of downgrading. If so please provide reason for your optimism.

Q: Hello,
I am considering investing in PBH as it checks off the right boxes and it is one of your favorites.
However, looking at other similar co's MTY & MFI they seem to offer similar dividends and growth, tgey are both also trading close to the same lower range as PBH.
Could you provide insight on why these are lagging the food retailers who are trading at highs.
Thank you

Peyto Exploration & Development Corp. (PEY $21.97)
-
Tourmaline Oil Corp. (TOU $62.42)
-
Birchcliff Energy Ltd. (BIR $7.45)
Q: I own all three of these companies and I am doing quite well with all three. I am up 20% on BIR, 10% on PEY and way up on TOU as I bought it in the $5.00 range back in the depths of the oil and gas collapse. TOU represents 6% of my portfolio while PEY and BIR are about 1% each. I LOVE my dividends…….do I continue to hold all three or consolidate into TOU? After TOU’s takeover of CR, is one or both of BIR and PEY next?
