Can you let me know your opinion on TNG. It has taken a big hit from the high of 55 cents it reached a few weeks ago. Do you think they will generate good revenues from the new agreements they have signed. Also today they revised their financing from 25 cents to 21 cents. Does that mean they are having issues in financing. Should I bail out or hold. My cost is 0.245 cents. Thanks
Q: I have been a holder of CargoJet (CJT) for a number of years, happy with the dividend and, particularly in the last year, the growth. However, yesterday's contract announcement caused huge volume and a large gap up. I'm trying to determine if this is warranted or if it is just "irrational exuberance" ... your assessment would be appreciated .
Q: Hi Peter & Co.
We've held Trans Alta TA since 2006. Now it looks like the short sellers are having their day.
Do we finally 'bite the bullet' and get out ?
Or do you think that cutting the Dividend will be good enough to help TA's Bottom Line?
Thank you
Dennis
Q: I bought COS for its yield some time ago at a cost of $38. I've noticed other energy names gaining momentum and with the anti-Oil Sands rhetoric persisting I'm wondering if there are better values (with good yields) to be had. In terms of energy related stock I also hold ERF, PGF & VET.
Q: Could you please comment on Westport Innovations.. Why can this company with so much potential not get any traction? I have held it for the past few years is it worth continuing to hold or should I simply cut my losses and move on.
Thank you
Is there any reason for the continual drop of rifco? It seems overdone, but it also seems like there's no end to the selling. The decline looks more than your typical profit taking selling. I don't see any news on the stock and their recent quarters have been solid. Other than the fear of higher interests rates, what else could be causing the drop? I still have a 20% gain in the stock, but would you advise selling to realize some gains before this stock loses anymore value?
Q: Hi Peter;
Which of the canadian banks has the highest basel 3 capital levels currently. Could we assume that the bank with the highest current capital level will be able to offer higher dividend growth going forward versus the banks that must still raise further capital to comply?
Many thanks for your insight.
Q: Re Aston Hill Financial (AHF)
I would suppose all the internal disention at the firm might have something to do with the poor performance of the stock lately, NO?
Q: Peter and staff: I would like to balance my portfolio with an IT stock. I am considering either SYZ,OTC or CSU, I would appreciate your advice or any other suggestion

Q: Hello Peter
I have sold a large 2017 NB Provincial bond yielding 4.45% and need to replace it with an equity that is quite recession resistant, has a rising price and rising dividends and is not in a sector where we already own stocks.
I come up with BCE and Telus [T] as we own no telecoms. Currently BCE has a 5.24% div and Telus 3.80% div. Over the next 10-20 years which will do better for us? Do you have any other possible candidates we should consider.
Thanks Paul
