Q: In the conference call the CEO specifically stated that share buy backs are not being considered. Their three goals for now are 1) investing in the businesses, 2) reducing debt, 3) and supporting the dividend. However they are suspending the DRIP program. What would be the logic for this?
Also, do you know, and would you consider this a management that can be taken at their word? The experience with Wi-Lan and Concordia was not encouraging.

Q: Hello, Apologies, my last question was about Viad Corp US (VVI) not Seven gen. Thanks.
--------
Question:
VVI has gone up by almost 30% since summer, I am thinking after the election if there is a little bit of a lull..might be a good time to take a half position on this company. What are your thoughts on this company. Thanks. Shyam

Answer:
Seven Gen looks quite good following its recent acquisitions. It is showing excellent momentum, good growth is expected and cash flow looks good. It has checked back a bit from its high, and looks good today. It reports Wednesday. Its last quarter was well ahead of estimates.

Q: 11:13 AM 10/30/2016
Hello Peter. I have a 1.2% position in Chesswood for income and some growth, and am down 32% at present. The data I see on the company is:

Dividend $0.84, Yield 6.8%, POR 75%, P/E 7.5. Earnings $1.12, so to me it looks pretty good.

How solid do you think the company is and do you think the dividend is reliable and sustainable over the long run? Would you advise doubling my position at this price.

Thank you............ Paul K

As the sector allocation between ZLB and XMV (both identified Low volatility ETF) is significantly different. Could you please confirm which ETF would be most suitable to replace Sentry All Cap Income Fund with a MER of 2.68%?

Thanks

Q: I am up 17% on BCE.

Would it make sense to sell some BCE stock to buy Telus thus diversifying risk & growth opportunity between two companies?

Would this same logic apply to say Enbridge & Fortis?
