Q: I have a less than 1% position in MCR and am looking at topping it up. My only other Energy position is ENB which is 4%
Are you still comfortable with the prospects for this company ? If so, given the low volume, any suggestions on how to approach buying ?My thought was to put in a limit order for 2.60 and just let that sit until the end of December. Any suggestions would be welcome. Many thanks

Q: The multi voting shares trade at a ~5% premium to the subordinates, is there a coattail provision for the sub shares in the event of a takeover/privatization and how likely is this considering the family ownership?

TCL.a is in the Income portfolio at a 2.5% weight and 38% reduction from purchase price, would you consider the weight appropriate, and with an event such as a takeover would you expect a premium close to what was paid for the shares or could it possibly be a takeunder?

Q: Strongly considering buying back the 40% I sold few months ago due to in rease in share price, used procedes to to open new didvdend position.
This would bring me back to just under 4% weighting and reduce overall cost per share about 10% on LSPD.
I beleive they will return to previous highs and go beyond, I'm okay with it's volatility, see it as another GSY growth wise and not as bumpy, can I get you comments.

Q: I bought enb, in part of it's steady increase of dividend pay outs, how ever a talking head said that in the pass enb has been issuing debt to support the dividend, sounds like smoke and mirror, in the future they will need to cut back on the payouts, what are your thoughts, should I switch it to another pipeline. On another matter, I read your article in the globe, man I had to laugh, you have led an interesting career.

Thanks

Q: I had a small investment in ATD & when dual shares were done away with I now have the same number of shares but they are US shares listed on the pink sheets. I didn't opt for this & have a couple of questions re the conversion. Is it a good thing that they are US shares? Did this occur for all share holders of ATD? Why didn't I get the Canadian version which is still trading on the TSX? Finally, the US version appears to be quite volatile; is that just the market or is there anything to be concerned about here?
Thanks
Dave

Q: Good morning,
Tax loss selling season has arrived and looking at my non registered portfolio I see that PKI is significantly below my purchase price and while I still like PKI for the long term, it is a candidate for tax loss selling this year. I would appreciate your thoughts on:
Q1. Selling PKI and replacing this holding with ATD
Q2. Selling PKI and purchasing ATD as a proxy until I'm able to repurchase PKI in 30 days.
Q3. Recommending another stock or ETF to purchase following the sale of PKI
I thank you and look forward to your thoughts and sage advice.
