Q: Altagas preferred shares have really been pummeled in reaction to company developments and the sell off in prefs generally. Do you think they offer reasonable value at these levels and do you believe the dividend is reasonably secure in view of the coming cut in the common dividend? Thanks.

Q: how is it that only days and weeks before announcing a Dutch auction, management and the company were buying large amounts of shares on the tsx? Is the not a prime example of insider trading before the puclic announcement? No wonder so many will not invest as it is not a level playing field!!!!

Q: Hello 5i,
I am thinking of starting a long term position in oil that is not small or mid cap. I was looking at Suncor since they seem to have a closed system in place from oil in the ground to the gas station (Petro-Canada). What is their payout ratio?

Are there other canadian oil majors that are comparable to suncor that are as stable?

Q: Hi, I am looking for 2-3 stocks which have recently come down, but have strong revenue projection, low debt, and good track record.
I am not looking for Oil & Gas, Pipelines, or Utilities.
Please let me know if CGX, SIS, WEF, QTRH, NFI meet that criteria. If yes, how would you rate these.
If not, please suggest few other names.
Thanks for your help.

Q: Looking BCI over as another way to play the aging population theme plus people are sitting around staring at screens most of the time, especially in the last 30 years (me too) and ruining their eyes. Your last rating on this Company was Nov 2017 @ B+. Do you still consider it worthy of a B+? If so, in the context of a year later. with very little movement, no dividend increases...why?

Thank You once again
