Q: Just Energy has announced $1.40 earnings per share for the last quarter. This compares with $1.13 earnings per share for the previous quarter. No doubt it is carrying a heavy debt.
But with a 0.50 cent dividend, the yield is well over 10%
May I have your opinion please if JE might be a Buy here. Thanks

Q: Just a comment and opinion, share if you like. I work for a smaller competitor to the above tickers, churn is more than concerning in the industry, in fact if you stopped actively selling you'd likely have no book of business left inside of 5 years. The real value is in the sales force and the companies ability to continue to outsell churn and because of this just buying the book at the multiples the industry has paid in the past makes little sense to me.

Q: First of all thank you for putting the "sectors" beside the names in your portfolios - that is much appreciated.

Could you please list the "utility" companies you like best in order or preference and could you state if it is "large" company or a "small" company.
Thank you
Margaret

Q: For the past 8 years I have been trying to pick up yield by buying convertible debentures. My objective for the past few years was to get a yield to maturity of at least 5% on these debentures. Today Superior Plus is redeeming one of their convertible debentures (SPF.DB.F). I would like to buy another convertible debenture from the cash that I will be receiving. I am considering JE.DB or JE.DB.B. Both of them have yields to maturity in excess of 6%. What do you think of these two convertible debentures as a fixed income investment? Note that I am not concerned with conversion privilege. This is a proxy for exposure to a fixed income vehicle. I am only concerned about the yield and the company's ability to pay the principal at maturity.

Thank you
