Q: Telus today reported a 10% increase in its dividend, but I think it meant 10% for all 2015 including the previously announced 5% dividend increase from Spring 2015 of 2 cents from 40 to 42 cents. If my understanding is correct, then the Telus dividend increase is overstated and Telus is guilty of taking credit twice for the same positive news. Full disclosure - I have a full position in Telus and am well satisfied. Can you provide a general comment on companies taking credit for the same news more than once. If so, the politicians have competition.

Thanks as always to the work of the team.

Q: I currently have no exposure to the health care sector in my portfolio. I'm looking for companies that pay a bit of a dividend which is sustainable and have the ability to provide some steady capital appreciation. I realize that American stocks are not your expertise, but keeping my criteria in mind and watching what's going on with Canadian health care, I would appreciate your opinion on three American companies. Gilead, JNJ, and Walgreens.
Looking to the future, which of these companies has the best prospects? (keeping capital gain and dividend growth in mind)
Which 2 Canadian companies who you add to diversify my health care holdings?
Thanks for your guidance.

Q: Could you give us your view of Keyera's latest earnings. They look like they're out of the park to me but would like your opinion. Also do you foresee a dividend increase in the future with these kind of results. And lastly what is your view on the "mid-stream" sector which has been beaten up quite badly as of late. Keep up the good work! Thanks Scott

Q: Thoughts on their earnings released just this hour. Missed on earnings and stock already hammered.

Any red flags regarding the sustainability of the company? Even if you lop off 20% of estimated 2015 earnings the stock is trading at 11x. How cheap have you seen these type of businesses get?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Q: I held WIN for income, which I thought was safe. Are there any stocks which yield 6%+, are outside the reit space and are better managed and "safer" than WIN. I'm thinking along the lines of calian tech, which I also hold.

A top 3 would be great.
