Q: What do you make of their quarterly results released today? Any hope here? Is it worth sticking a toe in the water at this price point?

Q: Hi Peter & Co.,
I sent in a question yesterday regarding Dream Industrial REIT (DIR.UN), however the answer I received was geared towards Dream Office REIT (D.UN). Could you please let me know your thoughts on DIR.UN, and whether or not the industrial space is preferable to the office space at this time? thanks,
Brian

Q: Hi, is there any new regarding DCI? the last two days the price spiked by 8-9% with higher than the average volume.

Q: I am interested in buying BIP on the TSX in a non registered account. I would like to know how the 5.35% dividend will be taxed?

Q: I was looking at BHY.un for income. Do you think the dividend is safe, and how does it rank for an income play?

best
Linda

Q: Hi Peter & Co.,
Can you please comment on Dream Industrial REIT's latest quarter? I hold this as part of my income-based portfolio. Other than interest rate risk, are there any company-specific risks you see with this company? Is the industrial real estate space still a better place to invest than office space REITs?
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: I have a 3.5% position in DR. It pays a 6.25% div, monthly, and has grown over 19% since I purchased it the end of April. There was a comment on BNN this morning and the opinion was that it is very susceptible to changes in US Medicare regs. Could I please have your opinion on the safety of the stock? Thanks, Ted

Q: GBN, Gibson Energy Inc., is a transporter of oil & gas products which has dropped a lot in value.Your comments on its debt,worthiness as an investment & some companies you'd consider better choices if you don't like this one would be appreciated.Thanks, as always, since you've saved me from myself many times.

Q: Gibson announced today a 200 million equity deal, and 100 million convertible bond in your opinion which is better to participate on it. How is the balance sheet of the company?

Q: Is this a good buying opportunity for AIM with a yield of about 10% and it seems to have bottomed out?

Q: Hi,
What is your view on Student Transportation (STB). Is the yield of 9.3% save.

Thanks

Q: Hi,I will retire in six months so will need income and security,which do not always go hand and hand.
I have a 5% position in bam.a,but was thinking of just switching to bip.un for the higher yield. Do you feel bip.un is secure enough on its own,or would you go say, 3% of each?
Also do you have two or three go to names that have 3-4% yields for the 5+ year time frame.
Always seem to have a hard time not to panic sell when the markets or one of my stocks are down over 20%.Should my discipline always be to hang-on if I have quality stocks?
Thanks,great work.

Q: good morning , if you had to pick one or two european ETFs that pays a dividend , what would it be? thanks.

Q: Hello,
I have been thinking about selling CHE.UN & buying ECI.
Can I get your thoughts on this move.
thx,
Martin

Q: I am a retired, conservative, dividend-income investor with a pension, CPP, and mostly dividend stocks (AD, AQN, ALA, BCE, BNS, CPG, CGX, ECI, FTS, PBH, RY, TRP, WCP, WSP, WEF, ZLB, XIT, Sentry Cdn Inc, RBC Equity Inc, Sentry REIT, Annuities, Fisgard Capital).

I have a roughly 10% weighting in energy. I hold CPG in my Cash account and have a potential capital loss available. Listening to the CEO yesterday, it looks like the dividend will remain small for the foreseeable future.

Two options = sell and replace with a better dividend player, capturing the Loss. Or, continue to hold CPG as this seems to be one of the "go to" names as oil recovers. While I would like more steady income, it is possible if I switch energy names that the new holding would then cut its dividend.

Under consideration are BNE, VET, FRU, SU, CNQ, ZEO, XRE. Are there others that should be on the list? I don't want a small cap and I'd prefer an oil name.

I have tried my usual filtering with P/BV < 2.0, P/CF < 6.0, Div > 3.0% and Beta < 2.5 (not sure if you want to consider beta in this exercise because you want the bounce) and don't get anything that makes sense.

It is normally all about total return, but steady income is more important.

Help and thanks in advance...Steve
