Q: Hi Peter,
Do you have an opinion of TMC? I've held a small position since before signing up with 5i. I am looking for a long time hold with a good dividend which this stock does have. Just wondering about safety. Also, my compliments on your new service. It is a great deal for small investors.

Q: Hi Peter,

All of the talking heads are always going on about the fact that one should only invest in stocks where the company has a record of increasing dividends regularly. I have owned Cap REIT for about 4 years and during that time the dividend has not increased at all. I have experienced a good capital gain and am wondering if I should take it at this point and move on to other opportunities. Should one expect a REIT to increase its dividend.

Thanks. Enjoy the site and find it very useful.

Q: Any comments on First National's (FN) future given its role in mortgage origination and servicing? The company pays most of its earnings by dividend on the common shares. It also has preferred shares outstanding with an attractive yield due to the softening in their price.

Q: Peter, can you please comment on the long term prospects of the ex oil & gas trusts? Now stripped off their tax advantages and easy access to capital, they seem to rely on the ever increasing price of oil, acquisitions and (in case of CPG), the 60% of share-holders who take the dividend as shares. Thanks.

Q: Vanguard has an excellent reputation in the USA as a low cost provider of ETFs. The 4 equity ETFs they offer in Canada seem to reflect this, yet they have difficulty attracting investors. I would appreciate your input.
