Q: Hi Peter,
What do you think of Emera (with their purchase of Teco Energy). Would this Company be a good investment for a retired person to collect dividends with a little capital growth? I read on their web page that they are targeting 8% dividend growth through to 2019. Emera has a nice dividend yield of 4.52% at the moment. Hopefully this company would be a good sleep at night stock OR would you think that Fortis or Canadian Utilities would be a better choice.
Thanks, Charlie

Q: Hi,
Any idea why Granite fired CEO? Has there been any update regarding strategic review announce earlier this year? Thoughts as an investment currently for the sector - still more industry risk for lower yield but higher growth potential?

Q: Good Morning
In answering Andrew's question with resspect to MCB,on August 6th, 2015, you have stated:
"The cash can support the dividend for about five years."
Based on your above noted statement I felt that the dividend of MCB was safe and did not sell the stock.The end result is that I am substantially under water with respect to MCB (about 36%)
Can you please advise me whether to hold or sell this stock? What is your assessment with respect to the future of this company?
Thanks

Confused here.
As a current shareholder of CXR, how does this affect me? I am in for the long haul and have learned to live with the volatility, but I'm at a loss to know if anything needs to be done here.
Thanks for clearing this up, because everything is very muddy right now.
Thanks, as always, for your great service -- especially to those, like me, who are "challenged" when it comes to "investor-speak".

Q: In March 2014 I purchased positions in the materials sector and all declined in value. They are G and CS, FM, and P with declines from 40% to 75%. The 4 positions now make up 2% of current portfolio. My gut tells me to sell and utilize losses, as no positive momentum for them in sight, nearer term, and overall weighting is very small. But first i would like your reasoned take/advice.....thanks....tom

Can you please recommend few ETFs and/or stocks for a temporary hold of a quarter? The funds will be needed afterwards to purchase properties so capital preservation is a priority. Thanks, Jerry

Q: Good Afternoon Team,
According to the Globe and Mail site, BAM has a Trailing P/E of 7.82, but a forward P/E of 34.42. Could you please explain how a forward P/E can be so far removed from the trailing P/E? Who establishes the forward P/E - the company or analysts?
Thanks,
Richard
