Q: If you were very concerned about the economy (think 1920's) and especially the Canadian economy (Liberal endless spending); and had sufficient income from real estate and private investments to fund your life style until the end of ones life, would it make sense to convert ones stock portfolio to something like PSU.U? I have done very well on my stock portfolios over the past decade, except for past 15 months. I am concerned that there are many factors that North American public corporations have to deal with and that profit are being pushed aside to meet their corporate goals.

Q: In have TXF in my registered account and its dividend has been high @12%. Recently along with tech stocks it has lost over 20% of its value. I want to know where can I find how the high dividend is generated from its components income, capital draw down and options trading (about 30%). And would really like your view of this ETF.

Q: Hello 5i
For NTI you have PE at 5.6 and price at $76.87. This would give the EPS at $15.37 Yet you state EPS at $5.00. Why the difference?
Also, for FSZ, using the net income of $58,499 and dividends paid of $88,183 the retention ratio is -50.74. However using Operating Cash Flow of $143,814 there is retention ratio of 38.68%.Thus in the first instance, to cover the dividend there would be increased debt but in the second instance all seems well. Do you prefer using Cash Flow in this instance? Please take as many credits (if any) as required
Thank you

Q: 5i
I was surprised by the sale of the Tonder Denmark plant. I could not find any mention of a potential sale in any of the previous quarterly reports or news releases. Could you speculate on the reason for the sale. I can only think that they either need cash, company had $141 million last quarter, or they don't think this will be worthwhile endeavour. Can you elaborate if possible? Thanks

Q: Hi Guys
will the default level not go through the roof on all these Corporate Bonds in the next few years when they have to re issue debt at much higher levels ? and wont a recession really contribute to high bankruptcies.
What kind of a correction in this ETF can we expect, something along the lines of 30 %, Algonquin Power was sure hit hard with higher floating rates.
Thanks Gord
