Q: Hi. This is my first time posting a question, or rather three questions. Why would a small-cap company like ABT want to issue dividends? Is there any benefit for them to do so? Is there dividend in more danger of being cut, because they are a small-cap company?

Q: Good morning,
I recently (last 2 weeks) added BCE, Enbridge and Goeasy to my kids' accounts with a 2-3 years investment horizon. Last night's guest on Market Call had nothing but bad things to say about these three companies as long term investments. I rely a lot on what I hear on market call is that a mistake and do you think my entry points were ok?
Thank you,
Chantal

Hello Peter
Is there any reason to avoid Bank of Commerce? It has a trailing P/E of 8.96, dividend of 4.52%, is by far the cheapest of all the Canadian Banks and would seem to be a best buy. Are there any problems anticipated with the new US acquisition? Anything I am missing? Is a 6% position in CM ok for income added to existing positions in RY 4%, BNS 3%, and TD 2%?
Thank you......... Paul K

Q: Would you sell USB.us if you held it and replace it with Goldman Sachs GS.us instead? OR would you keep USB (assuming your allocation allowed) and simply ADD Goldman? I’d appreciate some SUBSTANTIVE reasoning , would really apreciate that. Many thanks.

(PS: I reviewed your previous comments on Goldman Sachs and was baffled by your responses. Goldman a target for takeover given anti-trust rules & regs? And: Goldman I could not see where made the acquisitionist you referred to; nor does Goldman pay the dividend amounts you mentioned. Nevertheless , I defer to your expertise)
I have a question about 854
