Q: symbol: ERF
Hi Peter and Team,
I am share holder of Enerplus Corp. and watch it's share price dropping from it's high. Yesterday the company anncounced to suspense Stock Dividend Programme, and it dropped 4% on that day. Is it due to sector related/market movment or investors do not like this move?
Pls give your thought on this company and it's outlook. Should I take may profit or continue to hold.
Thanks as always.

Q: I have positions in all the major Cdn banks and I wonder why you, and many other advisers, tout TD and BNS over the other banks. When I started with BMO Invest in June '13, BNS was $59.04 a share and BMO was $61.37 Yesterday BNS was $72.94, a nice $13.90 increase, but BMO was $85.42, up $24.05! Why does BMO never get the recognition it deserves?

Q: What's going on with FSZ? I purchased this stock because you liked it (can't remember specific reasons). I've held since Oct 2013 and it's down 5.5%. Yes, it pays a dividend close to 3%, but I'm wondering if I should sell while my losses are low.

Q: Pardon my lack of knowledge, but what do you mean by "half position" and "full position" for an investor's holdings. More generally, I cannot find a glossary of terms on the web site.

Thanks for all the great info.

Q: Hi 5i,
Just wondering what your position is on VOC energy trust in the NYSE. I have a fairly large position and have done quite well with its generous dividend. With a 52 week high at 17.51 and decent fundamentals is it worth the risk to continue reaping the benefits or is it time to move on?

Thanks
