Q: My apologies for asking another question but I am stumpet re holding a small amount of the Cineplex recent convtible. I asked for a larger amount and only received a really small amount of bond. Would it not be wiser just to sell it? The conversion seems so unappealing and although 4% I may as well buy the common or similar? Your good opinion please.

Q: Hello Peter and team,
Thank you for the excellent service you provide.
I have approximately $10,000 that will be used to open a non-registered account. I am looking for stocks that will pay a dividend that is both strong (~3% or more, to take advantage of dividend tax credit) and stable (stocks that I can buy-and-hold and add money as it becomes available). Based on the information I have gathered from this site, I am looking at buying BNS, KBL, BEP and IPL. Does this look like a good mix or would you recommend other stocks?
Thanks in advance, Rory

Q: Hello,

I really want to add AVO and TCN to my portfolio but I'd have two sell two of my stocks to do so.

I was thinking of selling Magna to buy the AVO. I know Magna is a great company but I already own LNR and ACQ which are doing better than Magna in my portfolio right now and are in the same sector, so I'm thinking I'm overweight in the sector with Magna.

Also thinking of selling Ciniplex to buy Tricon. I know totally different companies, but my ciniplex has gone up 15% since I bought it a few months ago and I don't see as much upside with it as Tricon.

Please let me know what you think of this strategy?

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: Hi Peter;
I bought Paladin PDN at $0.99 and it is now down 50%.
Is it a "hold" or a "sell" ?
If I sell, would a switch to Telus be a good play? It has a 4% dividend and BMO has upgraded Telus to outperform and upped the target price to $38.00.
I would also like your thoughts on Cineplex CGX.
Between Telus and Cineplex which one would you recommend?
Cheers Ron

Q: Thanks for your update on CGX. I am curious to know whether ticket sales from Events like Live From the Met, Bolshoi Ballet and National Theatre make a bottom line contribution to CGX. These performances probably raise the average ticket price but I am curious whether they are stand alone profitable as they are frequently sold out. Interested in your thoughts.

Q: Hi Peter and team, My son wants to start TFSA/RSP account. His goal is to buy 4 or 5 companies with a view to long team. He is 24 years old. He wants very stable companies with lots of cash ( but that is more my thought, as I do my own investing now, but would like an outside view) I have a few in mind, but I would very much appreciate if you could give your thoughts on five solid companies. Thank you very much

Q: Hi 5i team,

I was thinking about entering into positions in CGX and IPL.U. I am looking for income with some growth upside. Would you still recommend CGX with its recent increase given the recent acquisition from Empire or would you wait for a pullback? I was looking at IPL.U as well given its recent pullback. I already own STN and KBL.

If you wouldn't recommend CGX or IPL.U is there another name that you would recommend?

Thanks in advance as always.
