Q: Hi,
I'm trying to figure out why WSP's price seems to keep taking larger than expected dips after having good earnings, a long list of projects and is what appears to be a fundamentally sound company. Since the large sale back in April, it hasn't seemed to have regained solid footing from a technical aspect, and the momentum is slowing, leaving me to wonder if it is time to lock in what are fairly substantial profits? This is when I question whether or not a company's fundamentals have much effect when 'Wall St' loses interest in an equity.

Q: How do you feel about margin usage in the context of the current rate environment? Do you believe it still has a place for risk-tolerant investors, especially considering potential tax write-offs? Or do you think the potential risk/reward is simply not palatable at the moment? If the latter, what are some effective ways to reduce margin exposure without being forced to sell assets or unbalance a portfolio?

Q: Hi,
Is there an easy method to unsubscribe to all the printed documents I receive from Computershare for Annual General Meetings. Unless being a large shareholder, the voting material is usually of no interest (auditors, compensation plan). I still receive this material by email from many companies, which is fine. I like the letter to the shareholders, but too often absent. I prefer a better use of my recycle bin.
Thanks

Q: I see a news release that DND has been granted the option to extend the buyback period but that they do not anticipate doing so. I read that as a push to get more shares tendered (as it implies they don't have enough which would put the pricing at the higher end of the range) - is it something or nothing? Does it imply apathy to the offer because people are holding or do you see another view?

Q: Good morning!
I am looking for what I assume would possibly be an ETF for dividend payers that someone who is not into equity buying/selling could buy and hold in relative safety, with either a distribution paid or (if dividends not paid out directly) would appreciate accordingly and then be periodically sold to have a steady income. I am contrasting this with annuities, or active portfolio management, but am open to any other suggestions you might have.
Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i, I am thinking of buying Granite Real State Investment Trust. Before I do so I would like your opinion on the company's debt compared to other major Canadian REITs? I am somewhat concerned about the following excerpt from the company profile "Granite derives nearly all of its revenue in the form of rental income from its properties. The company's largest tenant is Magna International, an automotive parts and systems manufacturer, which accounts for the majority of Granite's lease income." This is as if most of their income depends on Magna only, is that a concern to you? Thank you
