Q: Hi 5i,
It looks like Alaris has missed on Q2 relative to expectations. But it also looks like the analysts’ have failed relatively miserably in attempting to provide useful guidance about this company on a quarter by quarter basis. Please give me your assessment of management’s comments under “Outlook,” specifically in relation to the forecast for 2017 FY revenues of $90M and an “annualized payout ratio” of “under 90%”. Also, I realize that predicting market reaction is speculative but, if AD can achieve results in accordance with the stated Outlook, do you think that would be sufficient to provide a significant measure of recovery for the share price. Thanks!

Q: I am looking to invest/park some money for a year or so in a relatively safe blue chip dividend stock. I am thinking of either Fortis or Emera? Emera's numbers look a little better to me. My other thought, in a rising interest rate environment, is a bank such as TD. Thoughts ?

Q: Hi Team,
Would you have any concerns about the credit quality of Cominar REIT if you held one of its bonds maturing in July 2020? If not now, what would be the best indicator(s) to monitor to be sure credit quality does not decline and become a concern in the future? At what point would that indicator(s) signal a concern?
Thank you ,Michael

Q: Hi: Some time ago Pure Industrial was favourably mentioned on BNN because about 30% of its holdings are focused on warehousing for e-commerce distribution. An article in today's Globe and Mail also mentions it in this context. I note your comments on AAR have been cautiously positive, but not enthusiastic. Would you mind expanding on the e-commerce linkage? Is it less than it appears? Also, can you point me to other stocks that focus on the development of E-commerce distribution facilities? many thanks.

Q: Hi 5i - I have a half position in BPF.UN (that has done well) and thinking about adding a half position in AW.UN (need some more consumer exposure). You have mentioned its preferable to buy into strength rather than negative momentum - what would you recommend here? Or should I just buy PBH? Thanks, Neil
