Q: Hi,

I am looking at these companies for a registered account, for total return. I know that they are risky, so I will invest accordingly.

Which, if any, of these companies di you think have a strong risk/reward ratio? Which of them, if any, would you avoid?

TVK.TO, $STC.V, $XBC.V, $AEP.V, $MVP.V, $LTE.V, $URL.C, $IPA.V

Thanks,
Ishay

Q: Are you or any of the members aware of a website that will calculate the current value of stock investment whereby you enter the original investment amount at a specific date many years ( decades ) ago and it calculates the current value, also taking into account the reinvestment of all dividends. "Long run data" was my go to source but the site is no longer operable.

Thank you

Paul

Q: You recently noted Boston Pizza as being "ok for high risk" portion of income portfolio. Looking at their dividend history I see they cut it in 2011 from 11 c to 8 c and never got back to 11 c until 2016. With the payout ratio as extreme as it is, does this not seem very likely there will be another reduction to the dividend soon.

Thank you

Paul

Q: I noticed when comparing both stocks (TDwaterhouse data base),
TOU : EPS =1.65, div/year = 0.48, P/E=7.6, P/CF =2.6
WCP : EPS =0.13, div/year= 0.34, P/E=32 , P/CF =3.2
If both have lots of cash flow, why WCP has much higher P/E than TOU ?, What is WCP doing with its cash ?, Is capex, paying debt, shares buy backs any of the reasons to explain their main difference in earnings? Can I assume that TOU has a better balance sheet and therefore is safer ? Thanks
