Q: Hi Peter & team, What do you think of AYA pulling out of Nevada? How come they were operating BEFORE getting approval from Nevada Gaming Control Board? Or this is a change of heart of the GCB? Is this news worrisome?
Thank you.

"Amaya Inc., owner of the StarsDraft fantasy sports business, pulled out of Nevada after that state’s casino regulators said companies running such contests were illegal gambling operations unless licensed."

“As a proponent of state regulation of daily fantasy sports, we respect the decision of the Nevada Gaming Control Board and no longer allow Nevada consumers to play for real money on StarsDraft,” Amaya said. “We are an advocate for strict state regulation of DFS and the recent activities at some companies underscore the need for state regulation.”

Q: I have held this company for some time and I'm down significantly on it. I lost money on it back in the day when it really was a tech company. I'm a slow learner. The stock hasn't done anything in the last 5 years except loose value. Over the last month it is down almost 8%, 16% over the last 6 months and 26.5% over the last year. In 5 years it has lost 45% of its value.

I'm not sure about its business model. To me it is bordering on extortion and I'm not sure how much growth there is going forward. The company put itself up for sale and no one would touch it. The only ones making money on this company are the lawyers.

I've lost patience and am going to sell WIN. I guess your metrics make it a 'B' on your report but I don't understand keeping it in the 'Income Portfolio'. The dividend looks very attractive, however, the decline in share value has more than eaten that up.

Q: Hi,

I am thinking of buying either TD or BNS for my RRSP to buy and hold. I saw that you recommended BNS on BNN the other day so I assume you like it more than TD. Can you briefly tell me why and how the two compare on a valuation basis. I like TD for the US exposure.

Thank you!

Q: I need to add to utilities sector to re-balance my portfolio. You have been recommending Enbridge as the best bet in utilities, is it still the case? In fact, I can add either CDN or US company (have free cash in both accounts), so I am also considering KMI.US - I like the dividend and the stats seems to be better than for CDN utilities. If you had to choose one utilities stock in Canada or US based on a combo of dividend and growth, which one would it be? Dividend is not that important for me at the moment, but it's always nice.

Q: With Fitch putting HCG on a negative outlook, how concerned are you about HCG's future? During the rating process, would Fitch have received information about the current quarter's results or future outlook?

Thanks,

Q: Just wondering if your position on CPX changed since May 20. How would you rate the stock today (buy/hold/sell)? CPX is now less than 2% in my portfolio and I am approx 20% down on this stock. I like the dividend but the stock chart worries me - it's been steady downhill YTD. I know that the last quarter was bad due to facility outage, but the stock price is likely to go down even more due to tax loss sale, it seems like an ideal candidate... Do you consider the dividend safe? If yes, I have no problem holding it for a few years. If not, should I take a loss and switch to a better name (???) in the same sector?
Thanks.

Q: Hello, I have owned Boston Pizza for about 2 years and while I like the dividend the stock is down about 15%. If you were going to stay in the same sector, would you stick with Boston Pizza or switch those funds to A and W? Thanks for continued great service. Bill
