Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Do you anticipate any scenario(s) where an investor might want to hold positions in both your current model portfolio and the upcoming income model portfolio. That would imply 40 securities - half in the dividend/growth category and half in income only.

To elaborate, for a conservative investor, would it make sense to have 35% of investment assets in the dividend/growth portfolio and 15-25% in the income portfolio, representing a 50-60% allocation of investment assets to equities?

Thanks for your thoughts on this as always.

Michael

Q: ROG-V
Hi Peter and team.
Long time subscriber, first time asking a question.
First, let me thank you for a great service. I am no longer a rudderless ship.
Last week on BNN both Bret Cook and Bill Harris (for whom I have a lot of time) recommended Roxgold. My question to you has three parts.
a) Do you know management and if so would you comment on them?
b) The financials: Are likely to have to do a financing?
c) Could you comment on the political risk of Burkina Fasco.
Thanks again for a great service.

Q: I would like some general information. The development of LNG in Northeastern British Columbia seems to be moving along quite well. The Government is really pushing for it and they have most of the First Nations on their side. There is site preparation taking place on the West coast at Kitimat and Prince Rupert where it is to be shipped. What I would like to know - is there a particular pipeline Company that is best positioned to take advantage of transporting this LNG.

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
As a retired,long term income investor, I purchased WIR.U on the TSE only to eventually find US withholding tax was taken off the dividend payment.I sold immediately. How common is this for a TSE stock and how can I avoid this in the future?

Q: I bought Surge a few months back, and added more a month ago. My ACB is just over $6, and it makes up about 3% of my portfolio. I know you like it, and am considering increasing holdings to a full position of 4%. However, it has been a very poor performer over the last few weeks, and I have some concern that people may see it as another Crescent Point (isn't it partly the same management?) with endless new shares and dilutions. Think it is better to sit tight, or do you view it as a good buy at the current price? Please also comment on the distribution stability.
As always, thank-you

Q: I have a question about Surge Energy, SGY. From your comments and answers to other questions, you seem to like the company and speak favourably of it. My question is, SGY is not an "official" recommendation. What is it about the company that keeps you from formally recommending it? Does it have deficiencies or risks that concern you? Thanks again for your help.

Q: Thanks for all you do and happy trails on your bike. With the recent problems at CUS and the associated price collapse, are there potential corporate buyers for this suite of assets in North America and can you 'guess' at a couple of possible names? Would someone like Chemtrade be one? You may count this as two questions!! No urgency on reply.

Q: BTE..r and yesterday's question. My understanding is that when the deal closes BTE.r will have accumulated but unpaid dividends attached. So BTE.r already has $0.22 attached that will be paid at the close. This in the NR announcing the close of the financing but is not in the initial NR about financing.
