Q: Re: SCL.TO
Shawcor had a great run recently,not so coincidentally the company is preparing to raise capital. Maybe the company is just preparing for some acquisitions or expansion. The valuation seems like is not very rich consider the company's position in its area. I have a position with 35% gain. So what's your take?

Thanks!

Q: Could you compare Morguard( MRC) and First Capital Realty (FCR)? They both get a B+, and have very different client bases and dividends.

Do you have any concerns about FCR being a mall landlord in times when e-retailing is on the rise?

Thank you all! I wish we could get such straight talk from our politicians!

Q: Good morning, I just want to thank Bryan (June 3) for his suggestion re: a donation button and your answer which led me to the National Kids Cancer website where I donated to Peter's ride challenge. A very worthy cause and a great challenge for Peter. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to donate to this cause. Like Bryan I, too, am very pleased to be able to give something back as a token of my appreciation for the fantastic advice 5i has given me. Since I started my subscription and changed by investments I am up 77% in 18 months. Thanks, 5i team. Best of luck on your ride, Peter.

Q: Peter - thanks for your earlier comments on Just Energy (JE).

Today's announcement: Just Energy to sell National Energy for $505-million

They also announce the dividend will drop from 0.84 to 0.50 and go from monthly to quarterly.

Is this enough to improve the debt situation and help right the ship?

The market seems to like it (so far).

Thanks.

Q: Hello,

Ref: 4 Jun question from Thomas about laying one stock chart over another.

NB: You indicate about posting it to the Resources Q&A section, although I cannot find such a section. That is maybe where I should be posting this (plse advise where this section is).

Many free sites offer a comparison feature (Google Finance and Yahoo Finance being two). I use Google for my example, and will use BNS and TD to compare. Enter BNS in ticker field, and one will get a chart of the stock price in $. Select time period you want (let us use one year). Above the left top corner of the chart box is the 'compare' field, enter TD, and select the add button. The chart will convert to two lines: one line for BNS and one for TD (each in diff colours) and the scale will convert to %. One can then read the chart to see the relative performance for the time period selected. One can add quite a few names to the same chart. Hope this helps.

Q: Hi Gents,

What is the Summary Portfolio that was posted to site 2 Jun (I am new to site, and cannot find an explanation or come up with one myself)? It cannot be the A and B stocks as there are C rated stocks on the list, and it is more than the Income and Model combined.
Thanks.
