Q: I'm thinking of starting with a half position in one of these two companies. I don't currently have any companies in this area. I'm interested in safe dividends first and growth second and working on diversifying my portfolio. Which of the two would you buy at these prices and why please?

Thanks
Peter

Q: The Surge Energy share price is now struggling to stay above $1.00. Please comment on the implications of a company's share price declining below this threshold. Once it does, do certain institutional investors (mutual funds, ETFs, pension funds, etc) have to divest their holdings? If so, does this mean that the overall demand for the shares will drop significantly?

Q: I was watching BNN last night and they had Asian correspondents on talking about Cathay Pacific and all of the challenges they are having with earnings amid the unrest. My thesis (and what I would like you to comment on) is whether this might not be a time to buy into a company facing headwinds that are beyond its control but priced into the stock? I love flying on the airline and hope you can comment on the stock.

Q: Once the vote on conversion occurs, would you be able to provide members with an update,and explanation around tax implications? It appears there is some confusion around if taxes have to be paid upon conversion or at a later date when shares are sold. Also, what will the dividend be as under the current structure we receive interest
Thanks for the great service,and recommendation on Boyd.

Q: Hi,

I'm sitting with a 15% gain in Parklawn. I believe I bought on advice read hear so thank you. My question is whether it should continue to be held in a balanced portfolio or if you would exit a 5% position because a better opportunity exists elsewhere? To go one step further, I have done well on Medtronic and might like additional exposure to US healthcare. Could you recommend a) whether to sell PLC and b) what you might shift to if you agree with my alternative above?
