Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I have made some good money on DDD but could have done well if I had sold it earlier.

I Like the segment and have bought Dassault Systems SP ADR,
DASTY on Pink sheets and am up about 5% in just over as month.
In this weeks Bloomberg magazine near the end is an advertisement article that talks about Dassault but seems to be an advertisement about Autodesk ADSK-Q. I went to their website www.autodesk.com and it appears to be a well run company.

My request is what is your opinion about DDD, DASTY and ADSK-Q

Q: 'Yearning for yield".

Would it be reasonable to consider some of the high quality utilities like FTS, PPL,TRP etc. to be substitutes for fixed income stocks such as GIC's or bond etf's?

A year ago US high income stocks like NLY, HTS, AGNC and MTGE dropped in price significantly and looked scary given the fear (terror) concerning interest rate increases. Given the current set of circumstances, would you be in favor of buying these now with the expectation of modest price increases but 10% plus yields for a 1-2 year hold - or is the risk/ reward still unattractive?

Thank you for all you help.

Q: Hi,
Automatic Data Processing Inc NASDAQ:ADP -Your assessment please on ADP as a long term holding - mostly as for it's dividend. It appears to be a consistent dividend grower, but are there other US stocks that you would recommend ahead of ADP for a combination of growth and dividend growth/performance. A Report at TD by Thomson Reuters has recommendations varying from Sell to Strong Buy?
Thank you.

Q: CBOE on the nasdaq. To me CBOE has a high P/E, however ROE is very high as well. Is this company expensive. Do they have good growth prospects and do you see any looming risks out their for the company, that one should know about.

Q: I hold a position in General Motors (GMM.U) that trades on the TSX in US funds. Several questions:
- is it possible for a company to trade in US funds on the TSX?
- would the dividends declared by GMM.U be deemed "eligible" dividends for Canadian tax purposes?
- What are your thoughts on GMM.U? Definitely tumultuous times given the recalls etc..

Thanks!

Q: There has been discussion of the concept of using BRK.B as a low-cost alternative to a US-equity mutual fund. Continuing that theme, are there other companies that take direct ownership in multiple businesses and then issue shares/units for purchase by the public? Can you list some please. Do you recommend any?

Cheers,
JohnWest
