Q: Hi Peter and team. Do you have any comments on the sharp drop in Home Capital (HCG) at the end of trading. It seems it is a result of negative comment by Steven Eisman at the Ira Sohn investment conference in New York. He identified HCG as his short choice. My timing was exquisitely bad is I made a purchase five minutes before it started to roll of shortly after 3:00 pm.

Thanks

Ross

Q: Hi team: I have owned both BEP.UN and BIP.UN for over 1 year and both of them are doing quite well. Based on your recommendation, I added more BEP.UN to my portfolio recently. I consider buying more BIP.UN. Is it a good idea? Many thanks.

Q: I know you’re not big on TA (Transalta) and you have commented that it’s only a hold for income. I’ve held TA for 10 years and in that time many have commented that they (TA) do not earn the dividend, however the dividend is supported by the cash flow. It’s been that way as long as I can remember.

Today TA suspended their “Premium Dividend Program”, which I think just allowed shareholders to purchase shares at a discount. Do you see this as a early warning that the cash flow supported dividend might be in jeopardy or is this just a reaction to the stock trading near its 52 week low?

Thanks

Q: A general question in regards to U.S. assets. It has been brought to my attention that if a person holds more than $60,000.00 in U.S. assets,formerly $500,000.00, be it real estate, equity, bonds, etc. that upon death their estate will have to file U.S. income tax form and may be liable for U.S. taxes.
Can you confirm this for me, Thanks

Q: I'm tempted to purchase Constellation (CSU) but am concerned about whether there is still much upside potential in the next couple of years. I know you did a report on it in Oct 2012, giving it an excellent grade, but it was $103.78. Today it's trading around $135 meaning it's gained around 30% in the last 7 months. Do you still recommend it at these levels?

Q: Hi 5i team. I would like to add some dividend paying companies that consistently increase their dividends to my portfolio and noticed that although you don't rate them, you have included BNS, T, and ENB in your "Model Portfolio". Would you consider them to be good long term buys at this time and do you consider their dividends to be safe. In what order would you commit new money to them at this time? As always, I await your appreciated advice.

Q: Peter and Team,

Can I please get your take on Arsenal Energy (AEI) and their announced earnings from May 6, 2013 and your take on their plans for the share consolidation and dividend going forward? The company has a pretty big insider ownership and insiders continue adding and the plans sound good. I'd love to get your conflict-free thoughts.
