Q: I think it was Susan who commented about not being able to find Cineplex's dividend history. I use dividendhistory.org when I'm looking to do research on dividend history. Its free and maybe it can help Susan and others. ( http://dividendhistory.org/payout/TSX/CGX/ )

Lastly, cryptokitties... for trading and as an alternative currency. Is this actually real life or am I living in my wife's dream where cats and kittens are revered above everything else?

Q: Hi,

Is there a price point at which this becomes a value investment that has all of the negative factors priced in? It has been a top pick numerous times on BNN but repeated bad news has driven it down and down. Might it stabilize after tax loss selling eases? Dividend now at 3.1% is tempting. My question is whether there is a price that you would consider this a buy or if the bad news outweighs potential value and nice dividend?

Q: Hi team,

I am heavy in tech as usual and have to scale back every once in a while. I now have some cash to deploy in other sectors. I offset my tech with industrials, financials, consumer and utilities. I avoid resources as I find it just drains my capital. I am growth and an “active” investor.

I am looking at adding a consumer stock, either BCI or ZZZ. I read your recent report on BCI and am intrigued by the trend of aging demographics and the increasing need for glasses and contact lenses. You give it a relatively strong B+ rating and it is in your Growth portfolio. I have been watching it the past week or so. It is a very thin trader. No trades at all today and bid/ask about $1.00 apart, a wide spread for a $35 stock. Would have been wider except for my bid which did not get filled.

I used to own ZZZ and got lucky in selling before the last earnings release when it missed estimates. I have been watching that lately as well. It seems to be moving up steadily from $32 and now hovers above $33, still well off its 52 week high. On Monday, the TSX approved a NCIB for ZZZ that is normally supportive of the share price.

So, should I buy some eyeware or sleepware or a bit of both to get a good night’s sleep?

Thanks again,
dave

Q: Hi 5i,
My income portfolio is light on consumer discretionaries. What would be a good stock or two that would compliment my current holding in that space - CGX.

Looking for a bit of growth and income growth.

Thanks!

Q: WFT, SJ, OSB and LNR all seem to be getting hammered today - and I have searched and I don't see any bad news about any of these. Is this due to concerns over NAFTA - or is it something else?
