Q: Your thoughts on latest quarter for MRG.UN please. I have owned it for about a dozen years and like the higher yield I get than from other residential reits I own, which seems based not on risk but perhaps on large ownership position by morguard corp - do you agree? Can you explain how they can have a payout ratio below 50% when we are told that reits must payout the bulk of their cash flows or risk paying corporate taxes. And with their payout ratio having been much lower than most other reits for years can you further explain what they have been doing with these funds that they haven’t been forwarding on to shareholders. The dividend growth has been modest and sporadic and I don’t recall that many acquisitions or significant buybacks. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Guys,
We have generated some cash and I would like your thoughts about parking the extra cash in BCE or Telus and at least getting paid a nice dividend which greatly exceeds the interest that we're getting.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

Q: Retired with a longterm (10+ years) investing horizon and a solid pension. My TFSA is primarily growth and all Canadian with some US exposure (WSP, PRL). I’ve got some $US I want to put to work in my new unregistered $US account. I realize you don’t want to get personal but if it were your money and you were looking to start a new US based portfolio with solid companies a bit on the growthy side what 6-8 companies would you consider?
Thanks so much.

Q: We’re retired with comfortable pensions and a 10 year+ investing horizon. To date we’ve invested in Canadian growth companies inside our TFSAs (we’ve tried to access the US market through companies such as WSP and PRL). We’ve recently opened a $USD trading account and want to start investing in relatively stable US companies with some growth potential. ISRG is one we’re considering. Could you please provide a list of 6-8 companies you’d be looking into if it was your money. Thanks so much for all you do.

Q: Hello,

I own KMP.UN and just received a large package from them requesting I vote for or against.

They are asking shareholders to approve the plan of arrangement as Appendix E.

I made an attempt to go through it and understand what they were proposing but admit it wasn't clear to me.

Could you please clarify what they are asking shareholders to vote on and interpret it for us in simple talk.

With thanks


Sheldon
