Q: Legacy Oil & Gas (LEG) has recently had a nice move to the upside on sizable volume. Would you attribute this to the year end reserves announced on March 5, some short covering, or is there something else that would accounting for same? As it has done little over the course of the last year, is it worthwhile holding it over the course of the next 6 months to a year.
Thanks in advance

Q: Hi Peter, In your interview with My Own Advisor you stated, "Also, there will be at least 10 times of complete panic in the markets in the next twenty years. Use these times to buy, not to panic."
Recognizing that there will be a different number for every individual and situation, what would be an acceptable range of cash to keep for the purpose of buying into panics, say 10 to 20%? Or would you recommend staying fully invested and pulling funds from the fixed income side of the portfolio, or tapping into margin, or perhaps a combination of the 3 areas? Thanks, J.

Q: Peter,

I am hoping that you may be able to clear up the confusion I have about what is the definition of a "dividend stock". In response to a question from Mark yesterday about obtaining a 5% dividend yield, you commented that outside of telecoms or utilities, it is difficult to get more than a 5% dividend (although you did note almost as an after thought that the REIT sector has higher payouts). However, there are a number of stocks that you support that do pay out higher dividends - many of them in the oil and gas sector - and there are several tech stocks and assorted others as well. (Morneau, Calian, Torstar)

Secondly, in the past you have referred to companies such as Boyd, Stantec, Cineplex etc as being good "dividend stocks" even though there dividend yield is somewhat low (not even sure why Boyd is called an Income Fund with a 1.9% yield).

So my question is, what is the definition of a dividend stock and do those stocks differ from stocks that pay a high dividend?

Thanks.
