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

Q: Peter,

I have a difficult question for you. If one wants to put equal amounts in two dividend paying stocks, with good yields but at the same time excellent future growth prospects and less/minimal econometric risk, in your opinion which two stocks will you rank as your top two ( I will ignore MMT and ELD as you already have them as your NP picks).

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter: You have just an outstanding site here. Extendicare. I think I'd like to get into the old folks business to diversify out of some of my resource stuff. I'm looking at EXE as well as CSH. EXE's yield is really attractive but I don't know if it's sustainable. Your thoughts, as always, are appreciated.

Q: Peter,

The question answer session is an excellent source in providing brief guidance on companies.

My question is on NOK. I recently bought some call options (expiring Jan 2013) considering it is trading at cash value. This in my opinion is positioned better then RIM. Do you think they can turn this company around or will someone pick it up at a premium before that? Your thoughts. Thanks

Q: For info only:
an article hot from the press (Seeking Alpha)shed some light from an active short seller.
http://www.thestreet.com/story/11620121/1/a-biotech-short-seller-responds-to-critics.html
The problem and you alluded to it is that it is one of the most difficult information to obtain.
I would love to see what the short would think/do if the market bids were only available twice a month. Just thinking....

Q: Hi Peter & 5i, thanks for your answers to my previous questions. I have Canadian petroleum producer investments that keep me interested in the commodity price movements for natgas and oil. My direct brokerage site conveniently displays the NyMEx Gas price and the WTI crude - somewhat more relevant than the price on Mars but still not exactly what I need. I follow AECO gas via the NGX site. But I haven't found a good way to monitor Canadian crude prices and what I'd really like is someplace that charts Canadian crude (or various grades of Cdn crude) against the WTI so I can easily monitor the Cdn/WTI spread trends. Can you direct me to anything useful on that? Thanks!

Q: My question is re Stantec (SN). My portfolio is overweight small cap, profitable, dividend paying, thinly traded companies, and I am comfortable with that. When I read your report on Stantec in Feb (price was 30.15 at the time), it sounded like my kind of stock. I eventually bought a few hundred shares, ACB 30.55. Since then the stock has slowly, but consistently lost value, so that I am now down about 10%, which is my warning sign. Do you have an opinion why the stock seems to be out of favour, and whether I should hold, or get rid of it at this time. Thanks.
