ahh another fan of WFI.
Pleased to meet you.

are you holding or just watching?

I usually hold a few lots and trade this on highs and lows and always keep a few for the great dividend.
I was thinking about buying more lately cuz it is trading fairly low but too many other good choices out there as I think the geothermal will be in the shadows for a while.

whats your thoughts on this stock in the next couple years?

I'm watching dividend-heavy ETFs, specifically watching ZDV (a BMO dividend equity fund) and ZUT (the BMO equal weight utilities index).

ZDV is pretty new, so I have to research it further. It holds quite a few high dividend yielding Canadian stocks and you can see how beaten up its getting in this sell-off. This is probably because those high yielders are inherently riskier stocks.

ZUT seems like a very nice vehicle. Prior to the selloff it was yielding approx 5.1% net of fees. Currently it's yielding 5.2% net of fees. However, my research gives a projected yield (once you adjust for some unsustainable underlying dividends) of more like 4.5% net of fees, at the current price.

And today is up another 6%, and a nice recovery from the 52 week low.

I thought I was the only one familiar with this stock here. :)

The stock rise has a lot to do with momentum.

If you're an investor, good luck, but just keep in mind that the stock could suffer similar set-back as it did earlier this year, when the FDA rejected perifosine after the Phase III clinical trials [despite a lot of hype that it would get approved].

Watching BTE too. I sold it as part of tax loss selling in mid Dec. It's kind of bounced around the $42-44 range in the past month, so I think I will wait and see for now. I may get into it if it hit low $43. Also couple small cap stocks caught my eye, particularly MCB (McCoy Corp). It seems to have performed very well in the past 3 months. Anyone following or holding position in MCB?

Read many overall economic and market forecasts for NA and globally that recommended EAFE and International stocks as a good area this year. They have done nicely this yr. ZLD BMO low volatility hedged etf up ~ 9-10% so far. Not bad for lower risk index investing.

I was wathing AW.UN about year ago, but at the end , added more KEG.UN (apparently it happened to be good call :)), didn't follow AW for some time and was surprised that it's close to 52 weeks low... what happened? some bad Q reports? need to take closer look , maybe worth buying at some points as i 'm looking for some TFSA additions...

eder, what price you are planning to repurchase? Imho, 5% yield (price $32) will be a good entry point

I do want to get back in before next q report though
I understand...because if Q report will be good, stock will become expensive before you click the button :) . btw, today it was 2% up on high (for this stock volume), I'd be buyer at $32 or below, but not sure if it gonna drop there.
btw, do you knw when AW nxt Q report?
