Q: Hi 5i. Do you have a preference between A & W and Boston Pizza? Both are B+, A & W has a higher yield but smaller. Any difference in growth outlook? Full disclosure - I go to Boston Pizza but not A & W. Thanks as always. Henry

Q: Re: David's question concerning a source for a historical listing of dividends for a particular company.

I use the stockwatch.com basic service which costs approx. $5/month as my main source for company information including news releases for the past year and stock charts. Clicking on the trading symbol pulls up the trading activity for the past few sessions as well as dividend history. For instance, I just checked the history for CNR and it lists the dividends back to December, 1996.

Q: RON.PR.A got a bump today presumably because of Benj Gallander's recommendation last evening. It has a nice dividend but starts to float in March, 2016. Do you know the formula for setting the rate at that time and would you recommend this particular preferred share?

Q: Hi 5i,
Do you know of a good source for quickly finding and comparing dividend growth rates of different stocks, i.e. a list of the dividend payouts over several quarters or years for different companies? I want to see if dividends are rising, stagnant or falling over time. Any thoughts on dividend growth rate as an investment criteria?
thanks,
David

Q: Would you be able to shed light on ISIS Lab Corp (ISIS, tsxv)?

I cannot find much about it. Is it a social gaming software provider or is it capital pool company? or is it both?

It is doing quite well, especially recently. Do you know if they have any competitive advantage? Would you be a buyer?

Any thought will be appreciated as always. Thank you!

Q: On Feb 13 “Boston Pizza International Inc. announced today that it has declared and paid dividends in the amount of $5,000,000 to the shareholders of record on February 12, 2014”
I am wondering 1) as Boston Pizza International Inc is a private company does this information need to be disclosed? and 2) how does this effect Boston Pizza Royalty (BPF.UN)
Thanks
John
