Q: Good Evening
Can you please comment on the reasons for the 7.5% drop for IPL. during the last two days?
As a general rule, if yields approach the 7-8% range there is usually some concern with companies not being able to sustain their dividend pay outs.
I will appreciate your comments with respect to IPL's prospects going forward.
Thanks

Q: I am a long time holder of FC and it has been fine for income but the stock is down this year and virtually hasn't moved in seven years. I was considering a switch to Atrium for a similar dividend and a slow but steadily increasing share price. Your thoughts?

Thanks!

Q: Currently, I am down over 50% on PEY. I don't really want to sell at the bottom but am concerned about the sustainability of the dividend. I don't necessarily need the dividend, so would it be a good move right now to replace PEY with BIR?

Q: What do you think of an investment in Volkswagen? It seems to be recovering nicely since it's emission scandal. I'm interested in it because of their research into self-driving cars, battery technology and interest in cryptocurrency (IOTA). It seems like a forward looking company with growth potential.

Q: What do you make of the take-up on the ALC tender offer? I recognize that there were severe tax disadvantages involved but in a TFSA, RESP, RRIF, RRSP one would not care. 25% take up was even less than I expected. During 2017 there have been 2 dividend increases and the tender offer. Do you think they might be signaling improved operating performance?
Also, with respect to Bob Rose's question regarding the strategic review of ADN, it came to naught. Please refer to the Q1 2016 report of May 9, 2016.
