Q: Hi,

I heard a term this morning, "accidental high yielders" which was used to describe companies whose stock price had come down so much that their yield (presumed very safe) was "accidentally" high. The example was British Petroleum who apparently yields 6%.

Gluskin Sheff now yields a whopping 9% which doesn't even include their special dividends. You've said before that they have a good cash position, and that their dividend is safely covered, thus I might argue they are an "accidental high yielder".

Do any others come to your mind that might yield 5%+ after the recent sell off and have very good balance sheets and cash flows?

Q: I hate the Canadian oil sector but for some reason I feel obligated to have a small representation. As such I have a 1.3% position in WCP. Thinking of changing that to Parex Resources at the same weighting. Comparisons and advice please ?
Thanks Garth

Q: Received today a Management Information Circular and Notice of Special Meeting of Securityholders whereby Maxar is "proposing" U.S. domestication. In other words, security holders of Maxar Canada would need to surrender their shares against a new entity in the U.S. (with all its future tax implications).
In your opinion, how would this affect the performance of the stock in the coming months? Under which parameters we would need to think to sell (or buy more) giving this US domestication?
Many thanks.

Q: Which of TCL and CCL do you prefer and why? I own both and am considering selling one and buying more of the other. Tax loss is not a consideration.

Q: Based on insider reporting information provided by my broker approximately 17 million shares were sold by the insiders in March of this year.
Do you find this significant?
The stock in the meantime dropped by more than 30%.
Can you please verify that indeed there was a substantial reduction of shares owned by insiders early in 2018?
As well, would you still hold their bonds maturing in 2023?
Thank you for your insight.
