Q: Would you please review the key metrics for VGR and let me know what you think of this company as a reliable source of income and some growth. Would VGR be impacted significantly by interest rate increases?

Thanks.

Q: Does CU utilize coal in its business? In previous answers you refer to the share price drop being investor concern regarding Alberta energy policy. What specifically are the concerns? With interest rate concerns as well would you consider the price now ~$32.37, a buy. I hold a small position bought at 36.26 and would like to add more mainly for growing income.

Thank you ever so much.

Hello Peter
Could you please suggest several very stable Canadian dividend stocks with dividends in the 4% to 5.5% range, with growing dividends and some possible capital appreciation that are "as safe as the banks" but NOT in the Financials, Pipelines, Utilities, or Telco sectors as we are already overweight in these sectors. You may be hard pressed to find much as I cannot, so I would appreciate your thoughts
Many thanks........ Paul K..

Q: I sold Capital Power for a loss earlier in fall, with the plan of buying it back - never did - whew! Now I am looking at Emera or Fortis, to keep my utility weighting. Do you have a preference, and why? I am more interested in dividend sustainability/dividend growth than capital gains. If you have a better idea, or would just stay away from utilities for now, please comment.

Thank-you

Q: BCE has been one of my better holdings over 10 years. Today they announce a bought deal and the stock is already below the deal. My last experience with Mr. Market when this happened was with FM and I got killed. I thought I was being smart when I bought FM at 15 dollars because the market had a bought deal north of this around 16.50 I believe. Should I be concerned?
