Q: You recently noted Boston Pizza as being "ok for high risk" portion of income portfolio. Looking at their dividend history I see they cut it in 2011 from 11 c to 8 c and never got back to 11 c until 2016. With the payout ratio as extreme as it is, does this not seem very likely there will be another reduction to the dividend soon.
Thank you

Q: Time to sell Tsgi at this level or hold ? I have 4K shares of Tsgi and 700 shares Tsg , if sold what stocks you recommend to buy, I like growth stocks, many thanks
Q: Good morning 5i,
Once again thank you for the excellent service and advice that you give so generously. This morning there was a question about putting Boyd into a TFSA. I had been wondering the same thing. But, you mention that you dont really see it as a high growth stock. I imagine I would be better to put Google in, if I want growth. That means another capital gain, however. The beauty of Boyd is that you have to take the cap gain anyway. Getting to be a long story here. But, how would Parklawn compare with Boyd in putting in a TFSA?
thanks

Q: I bought PBH on the pull back after they reported earnings. I'm quickly up 10%. Should I sell and take the gain or is there more upside? Shares are in a registered account so capital gain tax is not a consideration. Thanks.
Q: My direct investing account categorizes BEP.UN as American equity. Does it really qualify as a US holding?
Q: Peter; I bought some GDI yesterday- lucky timing - could you comment on the news today and can they finance it internally? Double thanks. Rod
Q: I bought SLF a few years ago expecting to benefit from increasing interest rates. SLF has been a stellar performer despite the trend of lower interest rates this past year, especially at the longer end of the curve.
I’m certainly not complaining but am a little confused by the strong performance in a weakened rate environment.
Could you shed some light on the reason for their outperformance and prospects going forward. (I’m thinking of taking some profits)

Q: Good morning, Please comment on Versabank's recent quarter. Also, how does their forward PE compare to similar companies and the big banks? They now have a book vallue of $9.98 vs, stock value around $7.30, why the gap? Also, any thoughts on their new initiatives, specifically Versa Vault. I know you removed this from the growth portfolio early this year, do you think you would put it back in based on growing divvy and new initiatives?
Thanks
Rob
Thanks

Q: Hey guys,
Please confirm;
Should you own BYD.UN in a non registered account, the capital gains (thank you) will be realized in January 2020.
At that time, if you have room in your TFSA, should you place it there?
thanks,
Jim

Q: I do not currently have a position in GIL. It seems to be recovering well after the recent earnings miss. Would this be a good time to initiate a position?
Q: See previous question below - obliviously bad advise + poor judgment on my part Anyway in order to salvage something I bought 200 shares LSPD back today in another account. Am right in assuming that the loss in the first account still stands and that as long as I do not buy any thru that account I will still be able to claim the loss?. Thanks PS do you see LSPD going back to test the $49 high in the next short time ? Appreciate you guidance (win some lose some )
I recently sold LSPD to crystalize a tax loss I sold it on Nov 22 for $29:72 presently its at $31 and change. I sold it after getting your opinion on tax loss selling. When I asked the question I was specific about LSPD and pointed out the risk of the stock increasing beyond the $4599 loss in the 30 day window. (always planned on buying it back. Anyway in the last 2 days the stock has gone up over 2 dollars (I had 800 shares so that approx. $1600) I am getting nervous about the stock rallying. Can I have your thoughts should I buy it back now before it takes off and goes back up to previous high of $49 ? or?

Q: Much like KL's acquisition of Detour Gold, it doesn't seem that investors like Sun Life's arrangement with its subsidiary, Sun Life Vietnam Insurance and Tien Phong Commercial Bank (TPBank) which have formed a 15-year bancassurance partnership in Vietnam .
The agreement combines TPBank's distribution network with Sun Life Vietnam's market-leading life insurance products, giving 2.5 million TPBank customers access to a comprehensive range of innovative insurance solutions.
May I have your thoughts on the share price drop? Short term? Perhaps a switch to MFC is in order.
Thank you

Q: Hi folks
I sold SIS at a loss in my non registered account. However I also own it in my TFSA and my RRIF at a gain. Does this make my loss null and void? I may buy it back in my non registered in 30 days. Also you had mentioned that you would like to see SIS break at $14.15... But is it good to buy now (if I decide to add to my TFSA holding).? Or would that also break the 30 day rule?
Thank you again for a good year.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,
My wife needs to convert her RRSP to a RRIF. She presently holds BAD (still up 82%) and SIS (presently down 17%). We're considering selling BAD and buying more SIS in order to reduce the number of holdings and to be able to replace a stock that appears to be on a downward trajectory (BAD) with one that seems to have gained momentum (SIS). Please comment on this strategy, and thanks in advance.

Q: Is csu overvalued? Thank you rose
Q: Between Nov 15 and Nov 18, one director sold 41000 shares of SIS , reducing his holding in his personal account to 76500 shares. proceeds $592000. He also divested 23667 shares from an account in which he has indirect ownership, eliminating this account position, proceeds $341000. Does it mean he has no confidence in this company? Could I have your comments please. Thanks a lot

Q: On Oct 30 Go Easy put out a press release about an enhancement to their credit facility by a syndicate of banks. Since then the stock has done well along with a positive earning release.
The question here is more educational but when the banks give out these credit facility and assuming they have an investment arm dealing in mutual funds etc is the exception for those fund mangers to buy GSY in their funds if it fits the fund profile? Trying to get a sense of the relationship here (if any)

Q: Hi guys. Read your report back in July about Stella Jones (A- rating) What are your current thoughts on SJ as a long term hold for materials exposure? I currently own in an RRSP. Anything you would suggest as a better company to replace SJ with in that sector and why you would do so?
