Q: Hi 5 I Team -- Might there be any further insight into Linamar's (LNR) performance, of late? After its 52-week high in June, it's been on a very slow, but steady decline, despite a very good last Quarter. There is much rumbling among analysts that the automotive industry is "nearing its peak" and that investors in the auto sector should be thinking of taking their profits. I am up 24.9% at this point, and would prefer not to see my profits erode anymore, especially as I don't have an exceptionally long time frame for this portfolio -- less than 2 years. Do you feel the auto sector has had its day, or is it just September Doldrums? I notice that Magna, AutoCanada also have been grinding to a slow halt. Is this just a resting period for the sector, or is there something flying under the radar that most ordinary investors are missing?

Q: Prairie Sky (PSK): what is your opinion of the new issue and their planned use of the funds? Now that the price is down in the $36.50 range, would you consider this a purchase, for income. Do you view the dividend as sustainable and is there any chance of an increase in the next year or two? How do you think PSK would fare in a market correction relative to conventional O/G producers?

Thanks, Grant

Q: TFI/CSS
About 4 weeks ago I was preparing to add a position of CSS into my non registered portfolio. This is about the time the TFI take over came to light. My question now is should I wait for the dust to settle? Depending on outcome would TFI be a better choice for this sector, and if given stock price would now be the time to add a position?

Thanks

Phil

Q: I would appreciate your comments and advice on whether I should add to my position in AQN at the new issue price of $8.90 which is available until September 16th.

As a new investor, I would very much appreciate your comments on how to move forward. ie. Do I call my online brokerage or do I just place a limit order myself at the new issue price?

Enjoy the ride, Peter!!!

Q: You last commented on Sir Royalty Income Fund (SRV.UN) last October. Could I please have an update. Is it a secure long-term hold for an income portfolio and is the dividend secure? Thanks!

Q: 9:16 AM 9/4/2014
Hello Peter....
Best withes on the ride!
I have owned a 1.4% position in Great-west Life [GWO] and a 1.7% position in Sun life [SLF] since December 2013. SLF is up 11% and GWO down 1% since I bought them. These are held primarily for income. I would appreciate your opinion on whether I should just do nothing and collect the dividends which are about the same for both companies [SLF 3.5% and GWO 3.8%] or whether I should sell the GWO with essentially no loss or gain and put the money into SLF, in the expectation of a little more growth. Is it worth the diversification to own both?
Many thanks...... Paul K
