Q: Hi,

I need to prune my financials and I am down to looking at DIV and AD. In looking at DIV, the question I ask is, "Would they have sold Franworks if they weren't confident that they had something in line to redeploy the cash into?" With AD, it is "When will they be able to get some resolution with troubled partners?"

In any otherwise balanced portfolio, which of the two companies would you choose to keep at this time?

Regards,

Robert

Q: I had held alaris for quite a while - great dividend payer, but very bumpy ride on the stock price. I recently sold it all to use the loss to cover another gain, and had planned on buying it back after 30 days. It has continued to drop, however, and now as I near the 30 days I am having second thoughts. Would you consider buying it back now that it is so low, wait for the next quarterly report before buying, or just move on? I would be holding it mainly for income.
Thank-you

Q: I hold small positions in AD and CHE.UN and have some cash to invest to generate income as I am a retired investor. Which of these two companies would be the best or do you have another company with similar yield that you like better? Is this a good time to put extra cash to work or should one wait? I am not a fan of trying to "time" the market but do like to try to preserve my capital.
Thank you.

Q: I'm in the process of ranking tax loss candidates and try to decide between DH and AD which one has a better chance to show signs of life before 2016 YE.

I'm leaning towards DH only for the reason it's seemingly under certain manipulators' control (based on the hard drive downwards trade actions of late) and unless they turn out to be like what you said "short sellers are not god, they can loss money too"). AD is a "show me" story, but can they do a turn around by Q3?

Your assessment will help greatly in my decision. Thanks.

By the way no more use of stop losses for me. I foolishly lost EIF and I'm buying it back at a premium today. Another lesson learnt at a high tuition. LOL.

Q: Did anything of substance come out of the conference call?

I was hoping the CC may calm some nerve but the selling persisted through out the day. Based on the volumes it sure looked like some of the major institutional holders may be bailing out on AD.

Anyway, should us small retails follow suit? I'm about 12% in the hole and it would take two years of "coupon clipping" just to get even, so to speak.

What's your take on all these?

Q: Hello, Since eif and ad have both been ranked about even do you see eif facing the same demise as ad. I bought alaris the day before earnings release and took a serious haircut. As I write this am wondering if there is any relation to ex dividend and earnings release for Alaris. Thanks lots

Q: Hi
I'm looking for a handful of high yielding companies with a good balance sheet.
In what order would you rank the companies listed? Any other companies you really like that could also be included or preferred over these? Thank you.
