Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Happy Holidays,
can I get your thought on the following:
1. why is ZID-T recent performance decent and FIH.U poor?
2. why is ZID-T recent performance decent and SP500 index poor?
I'm curious why ZID performance is relatively good as of late.

thanks

Q: I'm in China for a few weeks, and I am astounded at the payment system. The only place I've been able to use my Visa card is Starbucks. For me, everything else is cash, because I am not set up for the point-of-sale system here. Aside from the few foreigners paying cash, this is truly a cashless society. Each vendor has a scan code sticker - Purchasers use their phone, scan the code, and pay the bill in one easy step. Do you know which companies are behind this system?

Q: Hello. I just want clarification on what KML announced. So after the 3 for 1 stock reverse on Jan 4th, they will pay a special $11.40/sh dividend? So will the new stock price go from $15/sh to about $40-45, and they will be paying out 28% Dividend? What am I missing here or misunderstanding? Thank you!

Q: In my daughter's RESP i have TD, PBH, TSGI, GUD, AX-UN, ECN and 8 years to go.
I have 7000 I can deploy. I would like to add a stable dividend payer with upside potential. Could you suggest one or two companies? I was thinking of BEP.UN
(I decided against diversification into VIG as per my last RESP question).

Q: My mother, presently retired (almost 80) has a little bit of extra savings that I would like to invest in very safe businesses (she has no equity investments at the moment). I am not anticipating much upside, as safety is more important; however, with recent market turmoil there has been no place to hide. As a result a lot of companies, both big and small, both profitable or not, both stable or not have all seen their evaluations erode.
Can you please provide the names of 5-6 Canadian companies preferably in more than on sector (along with a few words explaining why you like these companies) that pay dividends (the higher the better but should not be the only determining factor), that you feel are good companies (and have demonstrated this quality for many years, possibly decades), that have eroded in price for little/no reason and have a good chance of recovering their lost market value.
As an aside, I sometimes feel (without having done any historical analysis) that these are the winners in the long run. They tend to be stable, are of low risk, consistently have some growth, regularly return money (dividends) to their owners, may buy back shares,... And if bought at the right price become pretty good investments with limited risk.
Thank You and Happy Holidays :) !
