Q: Good Morning 5i

Please provide your views on whether this is an opportunity to add based on information currently out there concerning a move to take the company private. If so, do you have any price range in mind as to where the price will go short term. I know this is a lot to ask but am looking for your opinion prior to considering increasing my position.

Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter and Team.
I exited this position @225.00 high is $231.00 and have been following this down daily and have considered pulling the trigger a couple of times but held back.

Today I noticed it seems to perhaps turned the corner for maybe a fresh leg up. Currently up $3.31.

Could I please have your thoughts going forward, in your opinion has a bottom been put in on this stock.

Many thanks and appreciate your answer

Q: I am looking to deploy cash in my TFSA (2016 contribution) and with so many beaten up stocks I am wondering what to buy. I was considering the healthcare section and adding to my existing position in GUD, or perhaps initiate a position in CRH. GUD is now below its financing of $6.75 done around Dec 2014. What are your comments on GUD? Add now or wait for a better market? Or do you prefer CRH or something else in the healthcare sector. Longer term hold, and for a TFSA.

In healthcare I own CXR and GUD, smaller positions in DR and PHM, and very small positions in SIS and PM.

Q: Hello Peter and the 5I team

What are signs of a value trap?? Do you have a check list that you can follow? I am wondering if MG could be a value trap. I heard that a good sign of a value trap is a low P/E ratio compared to historic levels ( this may seem like a obvious sign). What things do you look for? I was wondering what your general opinion is on MG and do you feel that the car parts cycle is over or on a decline?

Thanks

Q: Quick follow up question on PBH you said you show a forward PE of 20.9 I was quoting (I guess) current as shown on Globe Investor and other sites as 257. Forward PE is indeed 20. So which is most useful in the present market. Is the EPS at .17 based on the current or forward PE. Should I be bias to one or the other as a general long term investor using it a tool for entry. Thanks for you service.

Q: Peter and Team,

I've been a holder of CSU for a number of years, trimming the position as it gets overweight in the portfolio. With the recent down draft, I am at approximately 4% weighting.

Any thoughts on topping up the position and, further, why the big downdraft in the stock now? I have seen these down drafts with CSU leading into earnings announcements in the past only to have them beat and the stock rallies a lot in the following weeks.

Thoughts? Is this a case where we should sell and wait on the sidelines until we see a bottom start to form from a technical perspective and then buy back in?
