Q: A couple of years ago I hit upon the idea of giving each of my grandchildren $500 on their 16th birthday to establish a first investment and, I hoped, learn something about investing by direct experience. I gave them 250 shares (still in my name since one cannot open a brokerage account under the age of 18) of Surge Energy then trading at $2.00 and paying a dividend of $.0125 per month yielding $3.13 in the first month, enough to buy one more share in the DRIP brokerage account. Working beautifully until last May when SGY halved the dividend (also instructional, but disappointing)

I have another grandson turning 16 and would like to do the same for him but do not know of another security with the same feature of paying enough dividend (possibly quarterly) that provides enough to buy one more share with the dividend generated from a capital base of close to $500. If you have a way of mining for such opportunities, I would be most grateful to hear your suggestion(s). (I do not have any experience with ETFs but perhaps there is a possibility in this sphere?) If you have another suggestion for an intro investment, I would be glad to hear your thoughts.

Thanks very much, Bob.

Q: are these stocks okay to hold as dividend income with possible capital appreciation or which ones would you recommend selling and what would you replace them with?

Q: Just wondering what your comments are on the overall company of DIV and how safe do you think the dividend is? Also on October 4th there was a press release. In the press release it stated

"The Corporation will be holding a Special Meeting of shareholders to consider and, if thought advisable, to pass a special resolution to approve the reduction of the stated capital of the Corporation’s common shares to $200.0 million."

What does that exactly mean and is it positive, negative or neither towards the share price?

Thanks

Q: Hi,

I need to prune my financials and I am down to looking at DIV and AD. In looking at DIV, the question I ask is, "Would they have sold Franworks if they weren't confident that they had something in line to redeploy the cash into?" With AD, it is "When will they be able to get some resolution with troubled partners?"

In any otherwise balanced portfolio, which of the two companies would you choose to keep at this time?

Regards,

Robert

Q: Hi,

Within an overall balanced portfolio, I am looking to add one "high yielder" to supplement dividend income. Which of the four listed would you prefer and feel the dividend is the "most" secure going forward? Is their a different equity that you would recommend other than the four listed?

Regards,

Robert
