Q: KBL K-Bro Linen (but only as an illustration)

Just sharing a little learning experience I recently had.

KBL do not have a DRIP. I am with a full-service broker (still, while I'm getting my feet wet as it were) who offers a synthetic drip -- but only full shares, no partial shares.

KBL pay a monthly dividend. My initial purchase was too small to allow the monthly KBL dividend to purchase an additional share under the synthetic DRIP.

I ended up adding to my holdings to get enough shares / monthly dividend to get at least the one additional share each month.

That problem typically doesn't arise with quarterly dividends.

Q: KBL K-Bro Linen

In an earlier question about K-Bro you mentioned they report next week. Where did you find that info? I figured it would likely be around that date based on past history, but there's no news release or mention of it on their investor website?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
My question is about the impact on equity valuation of the rise in treasury yield. In Today's Post, David Rosenberg opined that 10 year treasury may rise to 4% and recommends favoring companies that have exposure to hard assets, high fixed costs/low variable costs, high ratio of capital to labor and proven pricing power that protects margins. It appears that utilities and REITs have most of these attributes and yet are the most sensitive to the rise in interest rate. What am I not understanding? Please help.
Regards,
Danny

Q: CWT.UN/REI.UN Looking at the REITs I see a rather large yield of around 6% on these two blue chips. I own very few bonds at this point (or REITS for that matter - HLP.UN/HR.UN). The bonds I do own are of short duration with half the yield of the REITs. I do not see US 10 year going above 2.5% and this should hold back Canadian yields. Time to buy under that scenario?

Q: Are you at all concerned that many stocks in Canada that are popular right now (e.g. CSU, ESL, VRX, GIB.A, CGX, CMG) are way above their 200d mavg and have very high P/E's ? Although many are growing quite nicely are these stocks overbought in your opinion?
great service.

Q: Hi Peter and Team:

Could you please comment on Hudbay's (HBM) results/comments in their 2nd quarter report. With the reduction in dividend and other issues,do you expect the share price to be pretty stagnant for the foreseeable future & therefore wise to sell and move the money into something else ?
Thank you again for this great service.
