Q: Peter: In your excellent education article "Lessons from the Trenches" you stated that your single best idea is to pay sharp attention to companies which initiate their first ever dividend. How does one find these companies? I scour business news constantly but I rarely see first ever dividend announcements.

Q: Peter,
I was hoping you could talk to Arsenal Energy, AEI. They appear to get not much respect from the market but they generally appear to perform to publicly stated plan and appear to be doing a good job. They released an operational update today which suggests that, should things go well this year, they will be looking at options to return value to shareholders.

Your thoughts on this small oil and gas company?

Q: Hi Peter - I really like your website; enjoy reading the member questions and your answers - very informative.
After reading the blog about maintenance of portfolios, I have two questions.
With a portfolio of $100,000, would the ideal number of stocks still be 20? And with my ACQ (AutoCanada) and STN (Stantec) becoming a larger percentage - would you still trim these or let them run up a bit?
Thank you
