Q: Hey Peter & Team, KBL: I have held this stock since Dec 2009 and it has been a great ride and I have followed K Bro closely. Friday's report was a shock. Modest revenue growth but lower EPS and net income and negative operating cash flow. Debt has doubled to 15% of total assets as they build Edmonton plant to handle lower margin Alberta contracts recently secured. I have been waiting for another dividend increase but on these results can't see one coming any time soon. True, there are still significant contract wins, but gone are the bolt-on, high return consolidations and in with the high cost plant builds (Saskatchewan is next) to handle lower margin new long term government contracts. We are to count on higher efficiencies eventually from these plants to offset lower margin business. Is there sufficient growth to support at 23x PE multiple? I am grateful of your advice. Many thanks, Keith

Q: I have held Direct Cash for several years, like the monthly payment I receive from them. However with the declining share price is it time to sell.

I am an income required investor, diversified with 23 companies which includes 4 speculative companies. If you suggest selling DCI would you have any suggestions to replace the DCI holding?

Thank you and I am very happy with my 5i investment which I rate an A

Q: ATP just released quarterly results. Management seems positive, but results look mixed. Good EBITDA improvement, but, not so with cash flow. However, it looks like they have cash on hand of more than $1 per share. This has been my worst performer in a long time. My cost is $12 per share. Would you hold on geven where they are today?
