Q: Timbercreek Mortgage Investment Corp. (TMC) will be converting their Class A Shares to a new voting class of Common Shares. I have the option of receiving the new shares or to receive a cash redemption for my Class A Shares equal to the Net Redemption Value (NRV).
According to Timbercreek's web site the NRV for Class A Shares is $9.33 (minus 6 to 9 cents in costs) (as of Sept 23/13). My TMC shares are in a RSP account,are $600 below book value & presently pay a 7% dividend. Do you have any thoughts on whether I should hold onto the shares or accept the cash redemption if the present NRV is to be believed? Thanks.

Q: I know you have answered many questions on DCI already. Just wondering since the price drop of Direct Cash do you consider it a buy, sell or hold? I hold 100 shares in my LIRA at a cost of $20.00 per share. Thanks.

Q: Hi, new member since this weekend.
I took profits on quite a few stocks (cgi, hcg, plb, rkn), perhaps selling was not justified. I just felt these stocks had gone straight up and the market also, so there should be some kind of pause or correction in the usual September/October time frame (especially with the budget issue in the US).
So I am a bit confused as to how to put the money back into the market and the lack of recent correction ?
thanks

Q: Hi Peter and team;
Thanks for the great service. I am building positions with A and B rated stocks. So far I have bought Stantec, Enghouse, BNS. I am looking at adding another stock, my goals are long term hold (5 years) and looking for dividend growth potential and stock price appreciation. At this time, is their one stock you would recommend.
Tks

Q: Hi Peter - I would be interested in your opinion on Cabo Drilling (CBE). It has been languishing in the 4 to 5 cents range for some time now but seems to have potential: a book value of 0.31, current ratio of of 2.4, some insider trading and not overly diluted for a penny stock at 79 million shares. The debt to capital ratio is 22% and am just wondering if this is a concern. Anyways I would be glad to hear your view on the possible upside of this stock. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter I would like your opinion on Norbord I am 76 and like dividend stocks with some growth prospects. NBD appears cheap - div $2.40 free cash flow $4.91 GROWTH dependent on US new housing recovery - maybe a moderately high debt load - willing to hold until US housing recovers is this too risky? Paul

Q: hello 5i:
I'm a shareholder in AGU, and am having trouble deciphering their latest news release. Dividend increase looks positive and one wouldn't think the company would do that unless they thought is was feasible, but the rest of the news looks fairly downbeat. Your take?
thanks

Q: On Sep 20 Ken asked for an EFT that uses principles similar to VIG, but for Canadian companies. You suggested XDV. I would have thought that CDZ would have been a closer match. Your thoughts?

Q: I am interested in your opinion on NorthStar Realty Finance. (NRF) I understand that this company is organized as a REIT and invests in healthcare, industrial and commercial properties which they re-finance and usually lease to others to operate. Their current yield is quite high at almost 9% implying risk and possibly current operating losses. Would you say this stock is a safe income stock to add inside an RRSP? Thank you for your highly valued opinion.
