Q: hello,
I was hoping for an opinion on MTG vs.TMC. Does TMC's higher yield make it riskier than MTG for a medium term hold?
As usual thank you for all the info.

Q: DCI

Just reported... EBITDA and gross profit seem to be improving and they are reducing debt. Has the turnaround started and would you agree that things are improving slowly but surely? There are a lot of shorts in this stock, if things are improving they will need to cover given the yield!?

Q: A Scotia report this morning on Inter Pipeline (IPL) suggests that perhaps the company may struggle going forward to justify its premium valuation. The suggestion is that IPL's oil sands
transportation system will continue to increase value; however, other areas of the business may be challenged. In other words, the future is unclear. Your thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Hi team:
I bought some CPD (ETF for preferred shares) in my investment account about a year ago, it went down abit, but in the last few months it has rebounded and I am now no longer in the red
It was for income, but with the impending rising rates, would it be at risk of dropping in value ?
I realized that this could be a window of opportunity to get out and get into something like CDZ to get a nice dividend with some growth potential (I can tolerate the risks), thanks team!

Q: That is a great essay on, "WHAT TO DO WITH A TEN BAGGER".
You mentioned to ignore the old price.
That got me thinking on dividend yield on the historical acquisition cost of a stock. I've liked it for decades. But I have been reading on line that one should not consider that. Only look at the current yield.If it [current yield] goes down enough, that might be an indication to consider selling; the stock might be over valued. Likewise, if the yield goes up too much, that too might be a reason for a sale as the stock price has fallen too far.

What do you thing about 'it's the current yield, not the historical one, that counts'.

Thanks.

Paul
