Q: RE: EXE -EXTENDICARE INC
"We alluded to an upcoming dividend cut more than a year ago in our first report on the company"
Q1) Is this information only available with your professional source? and if you don't read it that day you miss it?
Q2) Is it possible to have a section on your website for potential warnings?
Thanks.

Q: Re: EXE (Extendicare)
Hi,
I was puzzled by the wild ride this stock had in yesterday's trade. Was up almost 10% in the morning and of course way down (28%) by end of day.
Yes, I understand the reason it went down so much later, due to the big dividend cut. However, I'm totally confused about the way some news obviously must have passed around the large number of investors who "knew something was up" earlier on.
Just how and where is this kind of info available, since no news or public announcements were published about the company before this happened.
I am really turned off about this whole thing, how some investors are privvy of confidential info and many others are not. Was there inside info provided and why does it happen so often ? (See most recent price swings for CAE up 10% in one week).
Thank you for your comments.
Paul

Q: I have held EXE for a number of years in a RESP account. Not factoring in Dividend payments I'm at about a 20% loss at the current price. Considering I have about 8 more years to run on the RESP what is your opinion on hanging on for a turnaround or the sustainability of the current Dividend? Any suggestion on an alternate investment?

Thank you for this excellent resource and all of your advice so far!

Q: Hi Peter. Am I missing something about Extendicare Reit, EXE? It seems to be improving it's payout ratio. In their last quarter they show a payout ratio of 76% YTD to June 2012. This is better than the 2011 full year payout of 100%. Thanks.

Q: Two Questions, first will you be updating the report on EXE as they just reported the latest quarter. Second will you be reporting on DGI. Thanks Max

Q: I have a question about Extendicare REIT. Apparentyly this company has resolved- part of its problems in the US with the sale of some its properties in Kansas. Is the foregoing fact taken into consideration in rating Extendicare. If not, would it change your rating.
