Q: Good day,
Should I be concerned by the decline in AW ? Its been going down $10 last year. While I am still in positive territory, I used to have a really great return on this one and I don't recall any particular bad news. What has changed and what the future looks like in your opinion. Please recommend 2-3 safe income stocks with upside potential and tell me if you recommend to swap. Its in a RESP. Thanks!!

Q: I'm considering the risk/rewards of these two stocks you've suggested buying. Teck strikes me as much higher risk, but analysts don't forecast much more than a 10% upside during 2018. With A&Ws nearly 5% dividend, isn't it likely to return as much or more for far less risk?

Q: I'm getting the feeling some income stocks have been punished too heavily as the fear of interest rates increasing has chased investors away from companies that are well run and offer exceptional prospects for the future. I would like to buy some of these companies now that they have pulled back. Do you fell my thesis is correct, and, if so, please give me the names of your top 5 companies that you would suggest as strong value plays. Also, please accept my sincere thanks for your invaluable guidance.

Q: You answered a similar question about 6 weeks ago but with the market sell-off I am wondering if the restaurant royalties are decent buys now. Can you rank A&W, Boston Pizza, and the Keg. Thanks.
