Q: Hi, could you please comment on Boyd Group earnings released this morning? Looks like company beat on revenue and EBITDA and just met the earning estimates. Did you note the FX impact on earnings/revenue? Company is projecting to double its revenue over next 5 Years. How do you relate this expected future growth to today's valuation ? Thanks for your valued insight, as always.

Q: Would appreciate your view on PBH's aquisition of C&C. Accretive to earnings, but how much does this increase leverage from a higher debt load? What would their new debt to equity rario be? What is your view on the convertable debenture? For an income portcolio, woild you but the stock or the convertable debenture? Is the debenture a relatively safe investment, or should this be viewed as more risky high yield debt?
Thanks, great service.

Q: Hi, I've read your bullish comments on a stock I've owned for years, PBH. If you look at a chart of PBH, it recently seems to be parabolic, which is usually a very bad sign for a stocks future.

Comments?

Q: Your rating on this stock puzzles'me at a b+ the stock is range bound and illiquid when one gets in very difficult and expensive .RPI.un is rated at a C+ and has much the same problems with liquidity but much more growth and just increased its dividend .I hold both these stocks but the latter is a far better performer with a whole letter grade lower by your system
Your rating metrics confuse me .

Q: I'm ready to buy into a Canadian Bank. It seems like the stock prices in the last two years have fallen to the point where buying it makes sense to lock in some juicy dividends.

But while I've been waiting around, there is this nagging feeling that the Canadian Banks have some bad loans on the books. I know there is a lot of talk about their Oil and Gas loan book and potential defaults. In the last 4 quarters it seems there hasn't been any sign of it yet (so far) that's significant on their top or bottom lines. But my concern is that while their commercial loans aren't significant, their domestic mortgages are significant.

In the event that more job losses are coming and the majority of Canadians might feel this loss in work, are there not contagion affects to residential real estate that then affects the mortgage loan book of Canadian Banks including Scotiabank? If that does happen, how will Scotiabank's business be affected by a prolonged housing market downturn?

Q: Followup to recent Q. on BEP.UN. Distributions can be taken in US or C$, default is US, so if held in a C$ account broker will convert at their exchange rate. To receive in C$ you must instruct broker you want this option, I estimate it's worth at least 1% of the distributions received, not much, but better in my pocket than broker's.
