Q: Hi Peter and Crew,

I rarely ask questions as the database provides most of what I need. I searched the DB for DIV-T prior to asking this question.

The question is for my TSFA. I am into dividends and DRIP opportunities. Many of the companies I love (Cineplex, K-bro, Badger) don't provide a large enough dividend to purchase a share - if I maintain a diversified TSFA of about 10 stocks. DIV-T may be a candidate due to the higher dividend and lower share price ($2.66). Could you recommend a few others in the category of a reasonable dividend (5% ?) and low share price, that you would be happy with for a long erm hold. The 2015 TSFA time is approaching and I am researching opportunities.

LOVE your wonderful service !

Q: There has been occasional reference to the oil patch increasing their use of drones. It would seem then that drones would immensely benefit the work that SYD is directly involved in. But as noted in your reply to Ruth, SYD isn't doing very well.
So I'm curious if PUR is using drones
and that is why its stock is doing so much better. Also do you know the management of SYD and what do you think of them?

I really enjoy your Q & A. Lionel

Q: There has been increased trading volume and stock price over the last week. I cannot find any news to explain this, am I missing something? A compensation repayment for cancelled lease by the Alberta government is pending and has been for quite some time. I have been holding on to the stock for a few years. Would you continue to hold or sell?

Q: Holy crow, MCR is going lower than I ever thought it would... so far,$1.65 today with no bottom in sight. I certainly feel foolish purchasing it at $6.30 last year. Have I missed some news? Is it time to get whatever nickels I can get from it now?

Q: Hello Peter. I need your help. I have relatively small positions in the following oil stocks (all of which are down): BDI, WCP, BNK, QST and MCR.

I can hold on for the longer term but I need to know if any of these companies are not likely to survive this downward cycle. Are the balance sheets strong enough? I suspect QST is fine given it has no debt. You mentioned in responses to other questions that BDI also has a relatively good balance sheet and I note that insiders have been buying at BDI (based on Canadian Insider search). If you were going to add to any of the above names, which would you choose?

As always, thank you very much!
