Q: Hi Peter,
I am considering buying TPK and RPI.UN for a long term hold. I am 69 and am interested in dividend yield to augment my pension. I consider these "filler stocks" that I buy when I have cash that I don't need to use. If these are not good candidates,can you suggest others that are under the $30. range. Thanks for your input.

Q: Why does mux keep dropping with the price of gold rising and their recent purchase of black fox, one would think the share price should be differently reflected.
Was black fox a mistake, why were the earnings down in the last quarter and with gold seemingly headed higher what should I expect from mcewen going into the next quarter or two and/or over the coming year. Thank you

Q: Hello Peter and staff:
I hold shares of Tourmaline in my RRIF account and they are down 47% and I was thinking of selling them and investing the money in shares of Rio Tinto.
Your thoughts on these two companies and the soundness of this switch.
In my question today, I forgot to ask that since common shares of Rio Tinto are being purchased in a RRIF account, is there foreign tax withheld from the dividend that it pays?
Thank again
Thank you.

Q: I have been looking for high yield stocks with low volatility, where I am less interested in capital gains. OCS.UN has a 10 per cent yield and a beta of 0.20. It has lost a fair amount since 2015 but seems to have stabilized. I realize that its financials are opaque, but Onex claims that the shares are undervalued. What is your opinon on OCS.UN? Thank you.

Q: I notice that you often recommend Telus and Rogers, but I haven't seen anything about Quebecor. However, I am up 38% over the last year. Is there something I am missing? I do like Telus, not so much Rogers. Do you like QBR.B and should I continue to hold? What news do you have in the pipeline that might make this stock not so desirable, if any? I can only find two comments about QBR.B in the past year.
Thanks, Elizabeth, Hamilton

Q: Marc Cohodes seems to think that accounting practises at Bad are either incompetent or fradulant.

He is still extremely bearish on the company and its accounting practices, claiming that the company is “…counting revenues they don’t even have invoices for” and that Badger reported $60 million in non-cash revenue, approximately half of Badger’s quarterly revenues, as “trade receivables” in the single month of June.

I know that it seems to be legal to do accounting in this way. But, for a layman it is difficult to draw a conclusion. I wondered if you had an opinion on this?
thanks as always for your wonderful and profitable service,
