Q: Your opinion for ALA future please Peter. Long term hold with some div growth? Seems there is many changes at the top. Thanks Ken
Q: What do you think of the bought deal?
Q: Peter & Team. Would you take a 40%+ profit on NFI following the jump today on news of the acquisition of MCI? I must say this looks like a stunning deal for NFI. In its own back yard (Winnipeg), MCI is complementary, immediately accretive and at 6X EBITDA, cheap - and a nice dividend increase too!!. But the low ROI in NFI has also been less attractive on what I regards as the Tesla of the commuter bus industry. Would you sell on this good news?
Q: Can you comment on earnings for Diversified Royalty. System-wide same store sales grew, now have three different royalty streams: Mr. Lube, Sutton Realty and Original Joe's Restaurants. These seem quite low risk, stable royalties to me. Maintained the 8% dividend and started a DRIP plan. Any comments appreciated on this company, thanks.
Q: Could you please recommend the best Canadian, US and international dividend ETF"S.
Q: You have noted utilities may face interest rate headwinds if the US increases in December, or early in 2016. Interpipeline and Pembina reported solid results and it seems their businesses are growing and IPL raised their dividend again. Both have already fallen by more than one-third from their 2014 highs. Are current share prices a ceiling for these companies or will their six percent yields continue to attract investors and eventually raise the share prices closer to where they were before the oil price meltdown? Second, if oil does ever get back into the $70's or higher, will these companies participate strongly in the expected rally?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Q: Could I have your trusted opinion on why this stock is taking such a beating.
Q: Comment on today's drop: Canaccord Genuity analyst Derek Dley said he’s “become more cautious” on the outlook for the retail division of Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. (CTC.A-T) given the “unfavourable movement” of the exchange rate and “continued” weakness in Alberta.
Ahead of the release of its third-quarter results on Nov. 12, Mr. Dley downgraded his rating for the stock to “hold” from “buy.”
“We are forecasting 1.0 per cent, 0.0 per cent and 4.0 per cent same-store sales growth at CTR, Mark’s and FGL Sports, respectively,” he said. We continue to expect Forzani sales to benefit from an increase in digital advertising spending, as recent digital spend test periods have generated double digit sales growth. Our forecast of flat [year-over-year] sales growth at Mark’s, which is considerably lower than the banner’s trailing 12 month average of 4.0 per cent, is founded on continued oil price-related economic weakness in Alberta, which we expect to negatively impact higher margin industrial wear. We note 17 per cent of Mark’s locations are situated within the province of Alberta.”

Q: Good day Peter and Team,
Further to your answer to Donald's question:
(1) If you were to rate CBL, what grade would you give it?
(2) Could CBL be considered a value play, since it's trading a bit above its 52-week low, and seems to be on an uptick?
(3) Is this the kind of income stock where one could collect a nice dividend while waiting for growth?
(4) What are the dangers in investing in CBL or similar stocks?
(5) What other dividend players might you recommend instead of CBL?
Thanks as always for your valued advice.

Q: Could you comment on IPL latest earnings?
Q: Please comment on the quarterly results.
Thanks
Thanks
Q: They just issued their 3rd q results. I am not very good at determining if this is still undervalued. The results did not blow me away but they did increase the dividend by 10%. They are not in a growth industry however I thought Davis +Henderson was not either yet that stock has done well,long term. Your views of evaluation of SXP would be appreciated.
Q: My BMO Investorline displays Hydro One as dropping $19.445 to $2.175 per share from $21.75 per share. This change occurred about 14 minutes after 4:00pm Friday. Is this just a computer error?
Q: I currently hold ENB IPL and PPL for a total weighting of 8.4% each having a capital loss. I am considering selling IPL outright and reinvesting an other sectors. Am also considering selling either ENB of PPL replacing with TRP. Is this a reasonable strategy and witch of ENB or IPL would you sell. Thanks!!!
Q: I have been holding this since 4$ a share. I am now feeling like there is an opportunity cost of holding this any longer.
"With our third quarter and year-to-date operating and financial results as the back-drop, we are looking forward to a strong finish to 2015 and towards ensuring AutoCanada being well prepared to face continued challenges in Alberta in fiscal 2016," stated Thomas Orysiuk, President & Chief Executive Officer. "In order to provide us with flexibility to execute on our continuing acquisition strategy and to fund our capital expenditure requirements, while maintaining appropriate operating liquidity, we are in advanced stages of negotiations towards expanding our revolving credit facility. As part of this process, we have amended our banking covenants to align with current industry lending practices. Together with our free cash flow from operations, the expanded revolving credit facility will provide us with the necessary flexibility to meet our capital requirements."
I did not like this and the 10% drop today is saying something although the volume isn't massive. I'm interpreting it as 'sell now and buy it back in 12 months' What do you guys suggest here?
On another note, this cold temperature is getting me and my wife exited about our upcoming CMS/5i cruise!
Thanks and have a great weekend.

Q: Is 5 percent sell off in trip an overreaction to likely keystone rejection, is it a buy opportunity? Thanks.
