Q: I've noticed with the recent market mayhem the Yield to Maturity on a number of convertible debentures has been rising and they are starting to look quite attractive. Am I right in thinking dividends would be cut before any interest payments are missed? Specifically, what do you think of EIF.DB.G? How safe is it?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Everyone seems to feel the sale will go through. As a share holder if I do nothing will I receive $4.90 per share credit to my account at closing and the shares disappear? Between now and then will the current price tend to drift up towards the $4.90 sale price? The exdividend date was 12/29/15 with the payday being 1/29/16. If I were to sell now...before 1/29/16 do I forfeit the dividend?
Thanks for your great assistance!

Q: Hi there

Wondering if you have any explanation why on a day like this with gold stock up (Barrick up 6% today) that Goldcorp is down. Lately it does not seem to move with other gold stocks. Are there some underlying issues?

Thanks

Q: What is your recommendation with CSE shares? Is it best to just to wait for the sale to go through? Or if it gets close to the $4.80 mark would you just sell the shares. Currently it is trading 5% below the offer price, and overall it looks like stable deal.



Many Thanks.

Q: HLF made a big move today - nearly 6% when everything else seemed to be falling. I did not see any news. Anything to account for this? I was waiting for some weakness before buying. What do you recommend?

Q: ".We would expect a sale, if it occurred, to be in the low $4 per share range." Great call. Now I guess the question is, is $4.90 a fair price.

Q: Recently and in very short order, the TSX blew through a correction (10% down), then quickly passed through bear market territory (20% down) and is right now on this very bad day about 26 % off its high. At what point do we start calling this a market crash? At what point would you consider there to be blood in the streets? It certainly feels like the blood is being sucked out of my portfolio!

Q: Hello. I don't usually ask questions but do regularly read the questions and responses on the site and greatly appreciate your non-partisan responses. I hold all of the following REITs and real estate oriented holdings (not in equal amounts)and would like to ask the following in regard to each: What is their current payout ratio (by whichever criteria is most relevant for REITs) and your opinion as to which, if any, might have to cut their dividend over the next year? I know for example that D.UN has a high dividend yield and a high payout ratio based on their exposure to the Alberta market but don't really know whether or not to believe them when they say, as they do, that their current dividend is sustainable. Many thanks, and please feel free to charge more than one question to my account if that is felt necessary.
AP.UN, AX.UN, CAR.UN, CSH.UN, D.UN, FCR, HR.UN, KMP.UN, NWH.UN, PLZ.UN, AAR.UN, SRU.UN, REI.UN, NVU.UN.

Many thanks for your response and for the service you provide. Don
