Q: I am reaching for YIELD and at 9% the yield on QYLD is very appealing.
If the tech sector falls out of favour and drops like FaceBook did this week, what are the implications for the dividend? Would the share price drop too?
As a long term "HOLD" I can live with a lower share price because it would most likely recover over time.
But what about the dividend? Can I count on it holding at current levels or possibly even increasing?

Thanks.

Q: MPL printed an article today from the BMG Group about a gold backed petro Yuan, this is one paragraph from the article.
In November 2017, China, India, Russia, Brazil and South Africa, the major producers and users of gold, agreed to establish their own gold trading system using their own currencies, thereby bypassing the US dollar. Implementation will begin in 2018.
Your opinion please, Thanks

Q: Your last comments about Enerplus in January 2018 were more promising. Also on March 21 there was a 9% pop in the share value after the company announced a stock buyback over the next 12 months. After having this stock in our RIF for a few years I lack confidence in the company and certainly have not been receiving much of a dividend either during this time. I am still down 29%. Wondering if I should just move along or is now the time to hold for awhile longer. Your opinion please.

Q: When the Tervita takeover was announced, analysts' estimates of the value offered to Newalta shareholders ranged from $1.55 to $2.50, with an average around $1.65 to $1.70. Since Tervita is currently private these might be quite inaccurate, but they are all investors have to go on until the detailed offer is published. The offer was such a welcome lifeline to Newalta that I expected it would bounce up a bit (it did) and then crawl steadily towards the $1.50 mark (it hasn't). I can't imagine Newalta shareholders will reject the offer, nor that the presumably many fewer Tervita shareholders will defeat the acquisition, so are Newalta shares temporarily worth buying for sale just before the close?

Q: I just read your answer about PEY - "The stock performance of course has been brutal. We no longer see it as a need to own name."

I also own TOU and SGY, with stock performance being brutal, too! Do you see continuing to owning these 2 names?.......Tom

Q: Reading the answers given to inquiries on ENB, would it not be prudent to counsel some patience until fact gathering step can be performed before attempting to respond? As more information comes available, it is becoming clear that the impact may not be that significant and that it may trigger a number of regulatory rate reviews that could diminish the impact of the announcement yesterday. It is also clear that only gas and not oil pipelines are at this time impacted. Seems to me that some value should be attached to the quality of management to cope with regulatory pronouncements in such instances. The quest by members for immediate opinions may not assist in making wise investment decisions.

Q: 2 part question. 1. Listening to Nutell and Schacter on BNN and they are continually talking about the next cycle in energy and how a lot of the Cdn. Energy stocks have been beaten up and now is the time to buy these things and hold them for 3 or 4 years for significant gains. Acknowledge these guys are talking up their own books but do you agree with the thesis and if so, do you view more upside in natural gas or oil? 2. If you agree with the thesis, what do you think of the suggested companies? Also thinking on investing in a basket of 5 rather than an individual stock to lessen the risk. Do u agree? Thx
