Q: Hi, Peter and team: I'm considering taking a position in Richards Packaging (RPI.UN). Their 3rd quarter 2012 results gave a figure of 62% for payout ratio (up from 59% a year earlier). My discount broker shows Richards with a payout ratio of 149.80 (?). I'm having a bit of a problem with payout ratios. I don't know whether higher is good or bad. I'd appreciate any help in this area. Thanks, Dale

Q: I was wondering if a Caldwell Partners CWL would turn up through your screening process.Reinstituting a dividend after a four year absense caught my attention.
The company has done one financing in it's 24 year public life and yet being a small microcap has a 30% instituitional base.

Q: Hi Peter,
I'm down 14% with HNL. This is my first significant negative holding of 5i recommendations and I don't know what to do (HNL is 10% of my portfolio). Should I sell or hold?

Q: Peter,

What do you think will happen in the WND takeover story? BEP.UN has asked investors to vote for their 2.50 bid and the share price is hovering at 2.80. I have quite a lot of shares at the current market price. Is is safe to bet their would at least be a bid of 3 or more or should I trim down my holdings and buy something else.

Also, I got some good takeovers in June and July but as always I lost a lot my money on some gold and similar stocks in the Aug-Dec period and I am wondering what should I do going forward with a much smaller cash balance currently invested in PKI, BTE and CPG Options. Thanks for the advise.

Q: Good Afternoon Peter and Team,
My question is regarding Edleun Group Inc. (EDU-V). I have owned this stock for over a year with much much less than stellar results. Vision Capital Corp along with its Chairman (Frank Mayer) and CEO (Jeffrey Olin) own about 15% of the outstanding common shares. I know that you do not cover this company but what is your gut feeling with regard to a Joe Average like me continuing to hold this stock for eventual capital appreciation? Have you ever met Mr. Mayer or Mr. Olin or have you done any business with either of these gentlemen? I very much value your opinion. Thank you. DL
