Q: Just a quick correction, further to Doug's question of earlier today: the ticker symbol on Alpha is AMW, not ANW as listed for both his Q and your A.
Cheers!

Q: Starbucks came out with earnings today after the closing bell. I thought the numbers were pretty good. The even increased their dividend by 24% and yet the stock is down two and a half percent in after hours trading.I know they lowered their forecast for 2014 just a touch. Was that enough to drive the stock down a bit? What are your thoughts going forward??

Q: Peter:

What is your thought about Avante Logixx (TSXV: XX). Yes it is very small company in the security space, but they have had a remarkable turnaround to profitability and date 36% of their revenues are recurring. They also have good balance sheet. They are like junior Alarmforce.

Q: Could I get your opinion on selling OSF.UN (Oil Sands Fund) and replacing it with HLP.UN (Health Lease Properties). My portfolia is over 20% energy with 0% Real Estate. I only carry dividend paying stocks and these 2 have similar yield but, OSF.UN is small cap with small trading volume and moving sideways.
Thanks for the great service.
