Q: If CSW is already owned (1.8% position at a 14% loss) in a taxable account do you think a switch to ADW is warranted? The objective here is long term income with some growth. Thanks for your advice.

Q: Good Evening
I am going back to 2005 and note that D.UN has not cut their dividend for the last 11 years. The current yield though of over 10% suggests that a dividend cut may be in the cards. What is your opinion of this company? I am holding it for several years.
Do you recommend averaging down, holding or selling?
Do you anticipate a cut in the dividend?
Thank you

Q: Good Evening
When reviewing the insider reports I come accross to the following term under the heading Nature of Transaction: " Buy Under Company Plan." Can you please explain what is meant by "Buying Under Company Plan"??
I understand the buying and selling in the open market but I am not sure how the buying under company plan works. Are the insiders required to buy company shares at specific intervals?
Thank you

Q: Any thoughts on Cervus at these levels as a 'bottom fishing' long term hold. Looks pretty cheap here against past growth rates. Think the dividend is safe?

Q: I have hung on to VET because I didn't want to get out of energy completely. I understand that they have a significant share in a new natural gas supply for Ireland which was due to come on stream this Summer.
Is the new revenue stream enough to warrant continued holding, or would I be better to buy something with more immediate prospects of price appreciation?

Q: Good morning 5i team!

I understand that the rental market (condos and apartments) continues to remain strong in the US and Canada due to housing affordability issues in both markets.

What are your thoughts on this macro trend in the housing markets and do you expect this trend to continue?

What is the best way to profit on this trend if it continues?
Can you please provide a few ideas in both the US and Canada (REITS,stocks etc.)?

Thanks once again for your unbiased independent investing perspective!!
