Q: I claimed my membership fee on my 2012 taxes, and had no issue. I was not audited of course, but I have claimed similar type services in the past with the assumption that they are advice based rather than just information, especially when I can ask direct investment related questions and get direct responses. If audited I would print the e-mail responses I get as receiving direct advice. My opinion at this point of course, since I was not audited, but should I be, I would remain firm it is not just an information source. - Cheers.

Q: Valener Inc [VNR] has dropped down a bit after a long stretch in the $16 range. Its position, in a registered account, is ~2% and I use this investment for income. At your convenience could I have your update on the company? I'm wondering if I should not increase my position in that company? I also hold IPL.UN and PPL.
Thank you,
Ron

Q: Hi,
Regarding AYA and it's move to the TSX; would this increase the likelihood of it becoming a dividend payer in the future; if so, any idea when (i.e. what kind of data points would lend themselves to determining this)? I know the financials and company strategy don't lend themselves to this right now but I would be curious as to your thoughts on this.
Thanks for the awesome service!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Good morning 5i,
I own E-L Financial Corp's preferred shares ELF.PR.F, which I bought 4 years ago yielding 5.5% at the time. The shares are now lower and yield almost 6%, so I'm thinking of adding more to my portfolio (currently a 1% weighting). Other than interest rate risk, is there anything about this particular issue that would not make it a good candidate for long-term income? Many thanks in advance,
Brian
