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

Q: Follow up question regarding the reduction in the HEX dividend. How is that to be interpreted: e.g. has the fund manager done a poor job of buying/selling options, or does this type of decline correspond to the share price declines ... or something else that usually accounts for the yield reduction.

Thans again. Happy New Year.

Q: Enhanced etf's: examples, HEX, HEE and HEP. These are high yielding products at current prices at least partly due to the slump in the underlying or component commodities or stocks. Taking HEX as case in point: can the 85 cent dividend be expected to continue as the share prices of the gold producers increase.

Thank you. Happy New Year and may "13" be a very lucky number for you and your team.

Q: As someone approaching retirement I am looking at tilting my portfolio towards income. What metrics would you use in evaluating an income stock for a long term hold? In particular is it a red flag if the dividend is not covered by the free cash flow? Even if its well covered by earnings. This appears to be the case for Trans Canada (TRP).

We still would like growth and income in these accounts as we hope that we won't have to touch these accounts for some years to come. What would you recommend for us? We are so appreciative of the excellent advice that you offer.

Q: Thanks for all your good work in 2012. Never mind the Boxing Day sales, you guys are the biggest bargain on Bay Street! I've done some annual Christmas clean-up by dumping Parallel Energy Trust(PLT) for a tax loss. Am looking at staying in the sector by replacing it with Eagle Energy Trust(EGL). Any thoughts?
