Q: American Hotels Income Fund (HOT.UN)released its Q4 and 2013 results this morning-- and the market seems to be punishing it for the results (down over 7%). The results didn't seem too bad, with continuing expansion tied to long-term railway occupancy guarantees, etc. Could I have your views on the results and the security of the nice distribution?
Thank you.
Harold.

Q: Wow a busy day with questions. I am writing for your assessment of badger's financial today. They appear to be great but management seems to have the most conservative comments in light of their result. l was disappointed not to see a dividend increase could that be staged for the end of the month to give the stock a second bump. Happy St. Patrick's Day Mike

Q: I have ACM COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE FUND as a holding in my RRSP. This has been a steady performer for the past few years. With fears of rising interest rates, would a fund such as this be adversely affected by rising rates in the future and if so could you recommend a suitable replacement for ACM (an ETF or possibly a Mawer Fund)which would have about the same performance but not be affected by rising rates. Thank you.

Hi Peter and Team
I am a long term holder (from the Avenex meltdown) Do you think there is a chance management can work through the problems over a year or two OR is it time to move on?

Thanks Jim

Q: I have set up two trust accounts for my teenage children. The intention is to buy a couple of dividend paying stocks with a drip, the idea being to set them on a path to financial literacy since I'm not convinced they will learn this at school. As they turn 18 I will transfer the proceeds into their first TFSA for them. I will research my own portfolio for ideas - PKI comes to mind - but would you have an stock recommendations that meet these criteria:

1) 5I approved
2) div of min 4%
3) with a DRIP

Thank you!
