Q: Firm Capital (FC) is a dividend income stock (probably with low capital appreciation potential) that pays a a fully taxable distribution (interest income) of 7% annually (on a monthly basis).

I am wondering about the ability of the company to sustain the dividend - especially in the presence of a rising interest rate environment (also, is a potential real estate bubble a worry,here).

Thanks!



Thanks.

Q: SXC has had a spectacular run and has just bought another company (Catalyst). There appears to be an action suggesting that the Catalyst shareholders did not get enough. Is SXC now a 'sell' or do you see it going over $100? Its P/E seems rather high.

Q: You seem to have a knack for commenting on stocks with limited following by mainstream analysts - that alone makes my subscription interesting. What are your thoughts on RPI.UN (Richards Packaging)? It has a fat dividend and a fair bit of insider buying not too long ago.

Q: I have Cline mining CMK - 1000 shares at a cost of $4.42 and the present value is .84 cents and falling. I expect that several of the points in the reasons to sell email apply to Cline. I only get $800 from a sale but I'm thinking it is best to sell and invest in another stock that has more potential.Thank you
