Q: This company currently has 14% subordinated notes (TBL.NT) issued that mature September 1, 2020. Last trade was at 114.5. I reviewed the annual report and noted that almost 53% of these notes are held by insiders. The balance sheet shows negative shareholders' equity but the company reported after tax profit of over 11 million in each of its last two fiscal years. I'm thinking of buying some of these notes in my RSP as fixed income exposure and would appreciate your comments.

Q: Hello:
I have been thinking of adding some ATD.B to my portfolio but have noticed the stock has been down slightly since the Trump win. Is this a bit of nervousness because of
ATD.B holdings in the U.S.?. Is the market wary of Trumps approach to anything not
American. I noticed Trans Alta Renewables & Alqonguin have reacted in a similar manner.
Thanks: Jerry

Q: FFH and ECI have set new lows. Their charts are ghastly and their RSI numbers are in the oversold category, especially FFH. I am now at the point where I am debating adding more funds to these stocks (buy low, right?) or selling them and moving on. Currently they are a small part of my portfolio: FFH 1.2% and ECI 1%. I can see that ECI has fallen with income stocks, but I would appreciate your views on the collapse of FFH stock.

Q: In my random research I came upon ACR.UN and this company intrigues me in term of yield and growth, even though it's a very small cap company.

Can you tell me a bit more about this company? It's one of the better growth REITs for the last few years in terms of unit price. It's yield is over 7% but its distribution has not been increased since 2013 though. It does not seem to have a large analyst following either.

Thanks.

Q: Hi, I have a number of renewable energy companies in my portfolio including the above, which I treat as a mini ETF, and they have performed wonderfully with both yield and growth. They have pulled back with the election however. Have you changed your view on any companies in this area, and if so which ones?

Q: Hello - I'd really like to take a position in K-Bro, but I have questions:

1) K-Bro appears to be expensive. If I'm getting correct information, the TTM P/E ratio is about 26. Is that correct? Would you not agree that this is expensive? I really don't see this as a growth stock to justify such a high multiple.

2) What is a reasonable P/E multiple range for a company like this?

3) Going forward do you see decent dividend growth?

Thanks for you valuable service.
