Q: Hi 5i: DCI seems to have resumed its downward creep today. Is there any particular news, or is it just a bad day in the market? The dividend is now close to 10%, which seems a tad too good to be true. I'd appreciate your advice on this one. Thanks.

Q: I have just read Ryan's article on "Perfect Stocks". The first thing I did was add the dividend yield to the table and, of course, Torstar jumped out at 8%. Then I looked at the chart for TS.B and was surprised to find that this 'perfect' stock was $20 10 years ago, $9 5 years ago and is now about $7. What is 'perfect' about this performance? It makes me question the significance of the criteria that were used to judge excellence.

Q: I am up on AQN but it seems to be faultering lately. Should I take my profit and run or is there something going on that I do not know about. Or should I just be patient.

Q: Hi Peter and the team,

I'm thinking of adding a position on a renewable energy stock such as BLX or BEP.UN. Any comment about what's the best choice for income with some growth?

Thanks!

Q: I have recently been picking away at these preferred shares in the $14-15 range. This particular issue is a rate-reset which is going to reset on June 30th at Gov't 5yr + 1.28%, but there also is an opportunity to convert to a floating series prior to the reset date. So, the question is: Should I convert to the floating series in light of a market that seems to be indicating higher future rates? Canada should eventually follow the US in raising rates, correct? Thanks.

Q: VSN is approaching its 52 week low. Is it a buy at this price? The purchase is for a non-registered account. I have owned VSN in a registered account for greater than 10 years. I am readjusting holdings in various accounts to better manage tax liabilities going forward and want to shift the account which will hold my VSN shares.
Excellent service.
Thanks

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
After reading the update on McCoy Global, we thought that the company might be a good fit for our grandson's RESP [ a toddler ] . According to the news, McCoy will announce their annual report on Mar12th. If we decide to purchase some shares, would it be wise to wait until after the report ? We were also thinking of Precision Drilling.
Thank you for your opinion.

Q: Good morning: I have owned Mullen a couple times in the past, bought for income but sold after decent capital gains. It is starting to look like it might have that potential again. What percentage of their business is oil-related, and do you think their other businesses are growing and could offset loses on the oil side? Is it oversold? What is their payout percentage and how sustainable is the dividend? I am looking for income, about a 2.5% position, and am prepared to hold for the long term.

Thank-you
