Q: Hello team - I am an investor of quality stocks that will (hopefully) grow their dividends annually. I am looking to add a few Canadian names to my taxable account. I currently own banks, TRP, ALA, BCE, PWF, SAP, BAD, and CNR. Which of the following do you see as having the brightest future for consistent dividend increases: CGX, SNC, CTY, KBL, CSU, THI, TRI, or other (??).

Thanks very much.

Q: I have owned Crescent Point CPG since 2008. I have been happy with the gains I originally made along with the nice monthly dividend. I think it is time to sell it given the rather poor performance that last few years. What would you suggest to replace it in this space? I don't have any other oil producers in my portfolio, just some pipelines. Joe

Q: Hi Peter ,
Any thoughts on Northern Dynasty (NDM) now that Anglo America has pulled out of the Pebble partnership? NDM now owns 100% of the project and realized the benefit of Anglo spending $541 million on it over the last 5 years. With the massive deposit of 81 billion pounds of copper and 107 million ounces of gold as well as molybdenum what is the probability of NDM making a new deal, perhaps with Rio Tinto who currently owns 19% of NDM?
I know its a junior and the resource sector stinks but may this be a good entry point for a patient investor?
Thanks.

Q: Timbercreek Mortgage Investment Corp. (TMC) will be converting their Class A Shares to a new voting class of Common Shares. I have the option of receiving the new shares or to receive a cash redemption for my Class A Shares equal to the Net Redemption Value (NRV).
According to Timbercreek's web site the NRV for Class A Shares is $9.33 (minus 6 to 9 cents in costs) (as of Sept 23/13). My TMC shares are in a RSP account,are $600 below book value & presently pay a 7% dividend. Do you have any thoughts on whether I should hold onto the shares or accept the cash redemption if the present NRV is to be believed? Thanks.

Q: I know you have answered many questions on DCI already. Just wondering since the price drop of Direct Cash do you consider it a buy, sell or hold? I hold 100 shares in my LIRA at a cost of $20.00 per share. Thanks.

Q: Hi, new member since this weekend.
I took profits on quite a few stocks (cgi, hcg, plb, rkn), perhaps selling was not justified. I just felt these stocks had gone straight up and the market also, so there should be some kind of pause or correction in the usual September/October time frame (especially with the budget issue in the US).
So I am a bit confused as to how to put the money back into the market and the lack of recent correction ?
thanks

Q: Hi Peter - I would be interested in your opinion on Cabo Drilling (CBE). It has been languishing in the 4 to 5 cents range for some time now but seems to have potential: a book value of 0.31, current ratio of of 2.4, some insider trading and not overly diluted for a penny stock at 79 million shares. The debt to capital ratio is 22% and am just wondering if this is a concern. Anyways I would be glad to hear your view on the possible upside of this stock. Thanks.
