Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Just wondering what your comments are on the overall company of DIV and how safe do you think the dividend is? Also on October 4th there was a press release. In the press release it stated

"The Corporation will be holding a Special Meeting of shareholders to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass a special resolution to approve the reduction of the stated capital of the Corporation’s common shares to $200.0 million."

What does that exactly mean and is it positive, negative or neither towards the share price?

Thanks

Q: Thank you for your very rapid response to my question of 23/10/16. I am very interested in your mention of IAE as a "highly leveraged oil bet" since I believe all their holdings are in the North Sea area notwithstanding their 329% increase since January this year. Isn't this whole area subject to much higher drilling & overhead costs then the general oil market?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Here is an impossible question for you because I know your opinion on these individual stocks is negative at best. If you had your feet to the fire and had to chose one for the long term...what would it be and why?
Thanks for your excellent insights and attentive service...

Q: This is a comment on your answer to Harold question. I am going to hold on my TWX shares. The stock rose less than 9% on the news. Based on today's prices, if the deal goes thru, it values AT&T at about $ 26. It seems to me that the market is not expecting this deal to materialize. I know two years ago a take over proposal of much less value didn't materialize and since I am not a trader I see the risk reward scenario favors holding on my shares. It looks to me that TWX is in play if not with AT&T it would be with somebody else. I as the other members value your opinion on this.

Q: According to an article in the Globe, HBC has real estate assets estimated at $30/share. Would this satisfy the value investor thought on buying something for $0.50 that is worth $1.00? What are your thoughts currently on HBC and if held for 5+ years, do you think the real estate will be restructured as a REIT?

Q: Hearing much talk about Mar1juana becoming legal shortly in a number of US states as well as here in Canada which could possibly drive up the stock price of some of the small companies now involved, in both countries.
Do you have any suggestions as to what companies are listed on both markets that could benefit greatly.
Many thanks for all your great help. Don't know what I would have done without it last few years.
