Q: With the pull-back, I want to take positions in the above at an appropriate weighting for a long term hold - the Canadian holdings and NVDA at full position, the others at 2-3%. Could you mark them at todays levels as buy, partial buy, watch or don't buy, and make any appropriate back-up comments. Thank-you!

Q: Hi,

After A&W’s recent conversion into a Corporation do you feel they could be a candidate for a takeover? Is it possible that this conversion to a corporation, which would simplify the structure, was done make them more desirable to an acquiring company? Two obvious Canadian suitors may be QSR and Fairfax which owns many casual dining restaurants under its Recipe Unlimited division. Looking forward to your comments. Thanks.

Q: Good evening,

My understanding was that the annual distribution for AW.CA was to remain the same as AW.UN (based on a previous 5I answer). I note that AW.CA has now been set at $1.50 per annum versus $1.92 for AW.UN. This is a significant difference! What am I missing here? Please clarify.

Thanks very much.

Q: hi, I am down on all these names. I am considering adding to (some of?) them. I am looking for some growth in share price ( to match or beat inflation ) and a consistent growing dividend ( matching or beating inflation ). I also don't want to end up with another AQN or BCE scenario. could you kindly give us your advice on these names and include your thoughts on whether they are a buy (add to ), sell, or hold please.
cheers, Chris

Q: I owned 600 shares of AW.UN and was under the impression that the shares would be exchanged 1 for 1 for AW. That is not what appears to have happened. My account indicates I now own 583 shares of AW. iTrade has also changed the apparent purchase price which would suggest that I sold the AW.UN shares and bought the AW shares. Have I misunderstood how this transaction was suppose to take place? Do I have grounds to insist the missing 17 shares be returned?
