Q: Hello: I follow everything on this site about HCG because I'm down 46.27% on this stock. As an investment, I'm wondering if and when I'll b able to recover what I've lost. I'd like to hold the stock for a long term hold, but I am not married to it, and if it will take several years, that's several years of my capital tied up with a stock "waiting" just to break even. It's held in a RIF account. What is your advice? Wait? Sell?

Q: What are your thoughts on Black Diamond as a dividend/long term investment. They are down a great deal due to oil. Also ROE and ROIC has gone down the last few years (usually not a good sign).

Would it be a good time to buy? Is the dividend sustainable?

Q: Noticed the questions around ROE here and your updated report. I just read the Q2 update presentation on the companies website and saw that the ROE has declined from 32% in 2005 to just above 19% in the most recent quarter in an almost steady straight line lower. HCG's stated objective is ROE above 20%. While the ROE is still high, the trend on ROE is not positive and is not meeting their stated objective. Yet you give it an A rating and an avg ROE of 24.7% over 5 yrs. Is the downward trend in ROE a concern to you and the team?

Q: Good morning. With Boston Pizza yielding 7.2% is it time for a slice? I'd be very happy with a total annual return of 8 to 10% over the next five years. Thanks and have a great day!

Q: I bought half a position on the recent dip but it seems to have recovered. Would you buy another half now or wait for another dip? I suppose this is one of those technical analysis questions and its probably like asking what the result of a coin toss is in advance but I thought you might have better insight than me on picking an entry point. I tend to be terrible at it.

My question is a lot of answers indicate that an interest rate increase would hurt dividen paying stocks. Would interest rates not have to go up a lot to affect these stocks.

Q: BPF.UN is cover in your reports and given a rating of B+.

The stock is down 25% from it's highs and down 10% on the year. I am on the verge of being stopped out of it (bot at $19.25).

What is happening with BPF, do you still like the outlook and does it still warrant a B+?

Would you reccommend a hold or sell?
