Q: Their quarterly earnings seemed ok despite the drop in share price (albeit on low volume). Would you be comfortable with me bringing this investment up to a full position from my current half position?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Good morning,
I am curious about HCG and its recent stock price rise.
If other banks/investors are taking a stake in this company by assuming responsibility for the mortgages within, how does this add value to HCG? I am assuming that the "insurers" are doing to collect the mortgage premiums.
Thanks

Q: The Telus earnings release includes a statement that they raised the Q dividend 7.1% to .4925 (from .48). Looks to me like a 2.6% increase. Am I missing something here? Perhaps the 7.1% (incorrectly) includes a 2nd increase that they may make later this year (as they did in 2016)?? Thanks

Q: It appears the $1.65/share takeover by Norgine is set for Sept 30, 2017. Between now an then do you see any other upside above $1.65? I read at Pharmpro.com, 'The Arrangement Agreement includes a non-solicitation covenant on the part of Merus, subject to customary "fiduciary out" provisions that entitle Merus to consider and accept unsolicited superior proposals and a right in favour of Norgine to match any superior proposal....'
