Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I am surprised that you bought CGX in the income portfolio today. Even though it is down substantially it still trades at an EBITDA/EV multiple that is significantly higher than US comparables. I know that CGX is well-run, but has little growth and under GAAP accounting has not covered its dividend in 5 of the past 7 years. This does not seem to be a good stock for a conservative income portfolio. What am I missing? In your answer I would welcome a comparison to Corus Entertainment, which also offers little growth, but at least the dividend is well covered and would seem like a much safer choice for income.

Q: Peter was on BNN recently and GSY, TV and AVO were his top picks. But what does that mean? How do these picks relate to the model portfolios? If I was to buy new positions today, should I use the top picks as a guide or continue with filling out my holdings with the balanced equity portfolio?

Q: Echelon-EFH. You last provided info on this company May 19, 2016 and I wondered if your opinion has changed. Things look better at the company, volume have been in the high side. Do you think this company might put themselves up for sale or be a takeover candidate?
Thank you.
