Q: Hi Team. I've seen your responses to various questions regarding Prairie Sky. I'm looking at purchasing some of this, but I would be interested in knowing how would you compare it to FRU which has been around quite a bit longer, and also has a nice yield.

Q: Hi Peter and the 5i team, It is always interesting to read the Q & A section. In relation to your reply to Maggie's question and Scot's follow up, I am as close to Harry as you can get. I purchased Royal Bank for 7.27 per share in 1994; never touched it. I have to spend the dividend as I depend on it for income (the real meaning of income-investing)so that my wife can go shopping and I go to canadian tire - the usual thing. The yield of the shares on cost is 40%. My problem is that it is getting to be 9% of the portfolio. My only regret is that I didn't do it with all my bank shares. I am putting this out to underline that it is real, not just a hypothetical situation. Henry

Q: As follow-up and in addition to your reply to Maggie's question
this morning about the BUY/SELL/HOLD question in todays market.
Here is an extract from a column in the Globe & Mail by John Heinzl and it gives a startling example of the effect of re-investing dividends and by coincidence uses Royal Bank (RY) as an example:
"Consider two investors, whom we’ll call Harry and Sally."
"On Dec. 31, 1993, each invests $10,000 in shares of Royal Bank of Canada. They hold their shares for the next 20 years, the only difference being that Harry spends his dividends while Sally reinvests the quarterly payments in additional shares of Royal Bank."
"Now, it’s obvious that Sally will come out ahead. After all, she’s not spending her dividends like Harry is. But the magnitude of the difference may surprise you."
"At the end of 20 years – on Dec. 31, 2013 – Harry’s $10,000 investment will have grown to $98,923, according to Bloomberg calculations. That sounds impressive, until you compare it to Sally’s investment. It will be worth $193,301 – nearly twice as much as Harry’s. On an annualized basis, their returns work out to 12.1 per cent and 15.9 per cent, respectively."
Thought other member might be interested in this tremendous example of the power of compunding dividend re-investing.
Thanks 5i,
Scot

Q: I'll need more great information from you guys.
Two of my holdings, Glenworth GNW is down about 7% from its recent highs. I have a small position I am wondering if I should add more if it looks like it is going to move back up.
A while back you had said that Cardiome PHARMA was okay, since then, the stock is down about 18% after I guess a bad quarter. I've had this stock for quite a while and it seems to be very disappointing. Is there any hope for it?
Thank you,
Dennis

Q: I have held POT since the $34. range so I am happy with the results to date. However I am wondering if this might be a good time to sell and switch into something with more torque, possibly in the industrial sector. POT represents approx 4%. Any suggestions or perhaps with talk of a possible buyer perhaps holding is ok.
Thanks. As always your service is extraordinarily helpful & informative.

Q: Hello Peter & Co.
I hold Westshore Terminals WTE since April 2010 and have doubled my capital since then + another 25% in distributions. I keep holding it because it has an unbelievable, hard to replace, infrastructure asset. Besides, I feel it is going to be very hard to add another terminal like that on the West Coast.
Your opinion is most valued
Tony
