Q: I normally can find answers to my questions by reviewing past questions but when I ask for questions on DS I get nothing. Not even the notice that there are no questions.
Anyway, I am retired and interested mainly in yearly income. I own DS and happily collect the dividend. But, can you explain how they can pay a 10% return when they hold stocks yielding less than 5%. Is the remainder return on capital or are they selling covered calls?
Thanks
Don

Q: You stated in your Q&A on Enbridge that "that cash flow PER SHARE has doubled since 2010." However if I go to the Morningstar web site under Key Stats it shows that cash flow has been mostly negative for the last ten years.
The following are numbers from there site......
Free Cash Flow Per Share * CAD
2007-12 -1.28

2008-12 -3.10

2009-12 -1.78

2010-12 -0.74

2011-12 0.33

2012-12 -3.51

2013-12 -5.50

2014-12 -9.47

2015-12 -4.87

2016-12 -1.20
What am I missing? Are their numbers incorrect?

Q: Great show on BNN. As always Peter was to the point,sharp and candid. (CPG for example).
I was surprised that GUD didn't make it to the top picks . Any reason why? It figured prominently in the year end tax loss selling based buys. Always gets a good recommendation in Q&A. Yet didn't make it to the top 3.

Q: By letting my winners run to overweight positions, while recognizing the importance of overall sector allocations, I am in a constant debate with myself feeling the need to rebalance. My question is regarding 3 sectors with the backdrop of assuming we are in a rising interest rate environment. Currently having a 10% Utility weight, with 0% Real Estate and Telco's, would you suggest trimming Utilities to acquire one or both sectors, if so what names would you suggest? If rates rise faster than expected, will all 3 sectors perform similar ? I watch my portfolio very close, am quite comfortable with higher risk for higher return.
