Q: Greetings 5i,

Enteromedics Inc - NASDAQ. Implanted pacemaker-like device that inhibits the nerve pathway from stomach to brain reducing sensations of hunger thus resulting in weight loss. With implants currently underway in many patients, can a case be made for taking a small Speculative position?

Cheers!

Q: Trying to add to my knowledge base with your superb guidance .... so this is a follow up to my earlier question where I asked if CN and CP were oversold; but I neglected to mention that I had been looking at the W% and the RSI for both companies. To my untrained eye, they appeared to be oversold or close to being oversold. Would you please take a look at these parameters and let me know what you think.

Thanks again.

Q: American REITS are regarded as core holdings of a US income portfolio because of their growing dividend payments. (O, WPC, VTR etc.)
My question is, why don't most Canadian REITS (AAR.UN, AX.UN, HOT.UN, etc.) annually increase their dividends like the US REITS? Most Canadian REITS have been paying the same dividend for years.

Q: What is the payout ratio on these two stocks? When i research there is conflicting information from a payout ratio of 60-70% to a high of over 175%.

What is the forward 1 year P/E ratios on these? Is this an important figure to watch?


Morningstar reports BIP.UN and BEP.UN free cash flow dropping 3 consecutive years and BEP.Un reporting Negative earnings. Would a short seller like the one on EIF pounce on this or do you view these companies as more safe?

Are these still good investments on a 10 year plus time horizon and would it be better held in a registered or unregistered account.

thanks

Q: Greetings, everyone.

I have a follow up to my previous question. What are the factors that give Algonquin Power and Crius Energy a more favourable view that Northland Power, right now, in your opinion?

Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and Company,

I currently have a position on RY, TD and BNS and I am thinking of moving some money from Canadian banks to US banks. So of the three aforementioned banks that I currently hold, which one would you take off the table and is there a U.S. bank that you can recommend?
Cheers,
