Investment Q&A

Q: I hear lot of positives about this company from news and other researchers online. The financial metrics look pretty. Im assuming they are in to setting up contact centers/BPOs and providing services related to it. There are several players in this industry/sector but they seem to have some edge/advantage and that shows up in financials. What's that special advantage or moat that they have which makes their clients stick to them? Or is there something to do with their pricing model ?
Please advise.

Q: Can you give me an updated opinion on the prospects for MRT.UN ?

Q: please comment on Vermillion's results...would like to add to my position, like it for the sector, dividend and less reliance on WTI pricing. thanks.

Q: Hi, Could you please post quarterly estimates for Sylogist from Cormark. Thanks

Q: Good morning, my US equity is entirely in ZWH, VGG, and VIG. Each about 5% of total portfolio. Monthly income from ZWH is convenient for RRIF withdrawals (over 80) but both VIG and VGG have significantly outperformed ZWH over at least the last 2 years. I am thinking of disposing of the ZWH (covered call ETF) and using equal amounts of VGG and VIG to total 15% of portfolio. I have available $US cash to do so. Any other ideas for US equity exposure are welcome.

Regards Ted

Q: Good Afternoon,
I don't follow the US market that closely, I'm looking for a handful of safer blue chip dividend payers ? Such as AT&T , perhaps you can list a few other names in various sectors you feel are well managed companies with good yield.
Thank-you

Q: stock has been getting crushed lately, they have no debt, should cash flow a dollar a share, anything i am missing. dave

Q: Do you think this stock has formed a bottom ?? Revenue per room seems to be on a modest uptrend and financial support from Morguard seems to have provided some stability. What is your take ?

Q: FYI ...
I see questions posted about where to park money for short term periods and get a decent rate of interest. GIC's are mentioned but they have minimal rates and fixed terms. Virtual banks like EQ Bank currently offer daily interest at 2.3% with no minimum timeframe and are covered by CDIC (up to $100,000). They also offer GIC's.

Q: I have been a die-hard on IBM, holding through the long decline, thinking that the promised turn-around would come. Meanwhile other companies seem to have superseded them in cloud computing. I thought that I could not go too far wrong, since ibm had such a good dividend.. But, I have noticed that the dividend payout has become quite high (0.98) i think. And some have raised the question of the sustainability of the dividend. Especially since their buybacks seem to have occured when the stock price was high and not recently when low. I am thinking finally, because of this, of throwing in the towel on ibm and buy something like Nvidia in it's place. I was wondering whether you thought there was any hope for IBM and also your opinion on the sustainability of the dividend. Thanks as always for the exceptional service.
