Q: Dividend history web site: On Jan. 30, Peter asked: "I'm interested in reviewing the dividend history of Canadian pipelines, utilities, reits and other income stocks over the long run, namely through recessions and interest rate movements (the tagged companies are representative). I'm trying to determine if the dividends remain fairly stable or tend to fall under these circumstances....."

Q: I was wondering whether your service has anyone that uses technical analysis or whether you only go by fundamental analysis? It seems that technical analysis would have shown a definite red flag with ECN on the chart months back when the stock had a very big reversal candle in early November. Perhaps you could consider bringing on someone with TA expertise to help with stock selection and opinions.

Q: Hi. I have been investing in small/micro cap value stocks(CAD) for several years because I had a small portfolio size. Now with a larger port I am adding names from the Balanced portfolio but still have a large portion in the small/micro cap value. My small cap value have been fairly flat since a large gain in 2013. I also notice your growth portfolio has been flat so I think this 4 years of poor performance has to do with a market cycle and not a long term change. With your experience in the market is this normal or is the small/micro cap valve out of favor due to the market becoming more efficient. I am willing to stick with my portfolio but I don't want to wait years when I should have made a change. Let me know if this in normal and how long usually do these cycles last. Thank you again.
