Q: I noticed that on my TDW brokerage statements, the regular payment is recorded as a "distribution" even though it is summarized in monthly "dividends" total. It's made me question whether Boyd is paying out a dividend or something else.
Can you please shed some light on this before I contact the broker?

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan et al, I am with Paul K all the way. At over 70, retired, I have no where else to go for income with reasonable safety but banks, utilities, pipelines, REITs etc (throw in BEP.UN and BIP.UN). Fixed income? Bah! (I still have a few GIC's going to maturity). For sure, I have stuck my neck out and have a few stocks like ACQ, HLF, EH AFN etc. As for our golden years,we've been led to a place that is not what we expected to be (not your fault). I have a different take. As an INCOME INVESTER (there are very few of us left), I worry about, look at, first and foremost 'INCOME'. That means that if income keeps up with inflation (pray that it be low), I don't worry so much about what happens to the capital. There have been periods in the past when the value of stocks had gone down but the income kept up with inflation. So, the question is: would a portfolio of cashflow generaters that pay out most of it and growing the cashflow going forward be OK for someone like me? Yours with fingers crossed, Henry
