Q: 7:02 AM 11/14/2019

There seems to be a lot of confusion. Which of BEP, BIP, BPY are going to be relocated to Toronto and have the 5 for 4 "Stock Split"? Any idea yet of the Ex-Dividend Dates?
Thank you......... Paul K

Q: The way I see it the upcoming "dividend" will be in effect a 5 for 4 split of existing units and I would expect markets to adjust SP's to account for this, correct?

Also TD has no conversions of US$ dividends if held in a US$ account unlike RBC. I expect to receive the entire $2.06 US per unit in my US account this year. The only time conversion would happen is if units are held in a $C account.

Q: Since starting to do more and more of my own investing I have found your advice incredibly profitable! Thank you. I follow the Canadian balanced portfolio and try to add in some US growth names. I am also diversified into ETFs. Right now I have cash for 2 new US positions. I want to add growth positions and have a long long time frame. Currently considering GH, RTN and RUBI. Do you still like all three at current prices? And which would you choose? Any other suggestions?

Q: BEP and BIP have each grown to just over 9% of my portfolio. That’s great, but I’m in a quandary. With other stocks I might be tempted to trim and reinvest, but there seems to be momentum here and the spin out sounds interesting. What say you? Trim and reinvest? If trim, then back down to 5% each?

Then.... where to reinvest? I’m well diversified and would look for income stocks with some growth potential. Mainly, I’d want something that is a good replacement for the potential and stability of Brookfield. Perhaps a different Brookfield? Perhaps park it for the potential to pick something sold for a tax loss?

Q: Please give insight on the business model that CPSI follows. It just reported reasonable results. Hares gapped up for only a day before falling back down. This could be due profit taking in this thinly traded security. What insight please on :
1. MOAT
2.PEG
3. Debt (manageable?)
4. Sufficient insider ownership ? (Considering its tiny size and negative price history)
5. Price to free cash flow;
PLEASE any information (of *substance* ) you can provide from your expert sources would be very helpful.


I don't expect you to know whether or not this is a candidate for a buy out by a larger company. Nevertheless , do you think CPSI is a better than average candidate for a consolidator in its industry?

Q: Good afternoon!
I have a substantial funds from recent gains that need a home. Taking note of Benj Gallander's thoughts to buy in December after tax-loss selling, are there candidates that you might recommend for purchase if they do drop? In particular, I would prefer dividend payers in the order of 5% or near to that - more if feasible!
Thanks!
