Q: Good Day Peter & Co.
I own 3500 units of AAR.UN in my TFSA. I have owned it since their IPO several years ago.For the last couple of years their dividend payout ratio has been creeping up According to The Globe & Mail payout ratio calculation, AAR's payout ratio is 108.30%. Do you agree with their calculation? If so, should I be selling some or all of my holding.
Many thanks for your valued opinion.
Q: Hi Peter, I own BTE and my cost is 26.51 if I were to buy 100 more shares it would get the cost down to about 16.00. Would this gamble be wise, waiting for oil to rebound, and if it were to be bought at what price might it be bought at. I know you can't predict the price but what value might it have at this point. Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
Recently you mentionned that gic's might do just as well as a bond fund in this environment. I notice that a five year latter is mentionned often. Under current conditions, i have wondered whether, say, a three year ladder wouldn't be better. What are your thoughts on that? I imagine people suggest five years because it gives a bit more income. But, it also locks you in for a longer period
Thanks
