Investment Q&A

Q: I think the news on the downside risk to corus and dhx is overblown? Would you agree.

Q: WHY MY BROKER DID NOT FILL MY ORDER??
This morning I placed a buy order for aw.un with a limit of $28.11 for 75 shares. The order was placed at 12.13 PM. My broker did not fill my order claiming all sorts of excuses such as 75 is an odd lot or the stock is illiquid.

Here are the trades noted from the chart of another broker for aw.un after I placed my order:

12:45 PM 200 shares at $28.10
1:15 PM 600 shares at $28.10
1:20 PM 1,200 shares at $28.10
1:40 PM 109 shares between $28.07 - $28.20
3:00 PM 474 shares between $27.99 - $28.18
3:40 PM 25 shares at $28
3:55 PM 600 shares at $28.00

Please advise me whether my broker is justified in not fulfilling my order. As well, can you advise me what to do? I have complained to customer service and was told the stock is illiquid and my order was for an odd lot.
Thank you for your service.

Q: AutoCanada reported after hours. It looks very good to me, what do you think? Adjusted net earnings per share increased by 23% to $2.24 from $1.82. Same store revenue increased by 8.9%. Same store gross profit increased by 7.9%. And in 2015, they filed for a normal course issuer bid to repurchase shares. What is unclear to me is the outlook. They note that consumer confidence is down and retail volumes was down 9% in January YoY.

Q: Your views on the earnings and outlook commentary. Thanks

Q: Thanks for the very quick response, and further, I was thinking that BIN has us revenues, does that also apply to wsp.

Thanks

Q: I have been wanting to add this business or Bin to my RRSP for a couple of weeks but did not think I had a good or proper entry point.
WSP reported this am, and result are good and the stock has jumped over $1.00, on the other hand BIN has been fairly stable for the past few weeks, coupled with the fact that there was heavy inside trading in the past month.
Could I please have your opinion which would be the better position as well as a dollar entry point.
Both business are excellent in my estimation for long term growth and hold

Again thanks for your great and awesome service.

Q: Hi Peter,
Several days ago I sent in a question about the possible competitive threat for CXI from a new company called EncoreFX which is engaged in the currency exchange business. I have not received a reply to my question and am concerned about buying CXI. If you google EncoreFX there is lots of information about this company. Would you buy CXI at todays price? Thanks, Bill

Q: Can you please tell me the forward P/E and any other metrics that can help me decide to add to my position of SYZ or not. I have less than 2% position in my TFSA. I hold all the stocks in your model portfolio except T and FM at this point. Thank you for your expertise.

Q: Hello,

I have AYA in a non-registered account and I was thinking of moving it to a registered account.
What do you think about this? Is the growth still on? Any concern about sell off?

Thanks
M

Q: Is there any news on SYZ to account for it's recent poor performance? Seems that there is absolutely no interest in the stock. Your assessment would be appreciated.

Q: With the swap in place to stabilize payment, and currency, and the fact Amaya announces largest Sunday Million tournament since 2011 and Asian poker initiatives.

Why in your opinion is the stock down over $2.00 today, and can you please advise if this would be a good entry point.

Thanks Peter for your advice

Q: Rated B- but in your latest note you attach an A- rating to it. Should I assume it is still a B-?

Q: Hi Peter and team
You recently suggested WSP for an RRSP account. Since I have Stantec STN in a non-registered account. Stantec has been going down since Sep while WSP has been fairly stable. Do you recommend WSP over Stantec now?
Also would it be possible to have a "Heathcare" category added?
Thanks
Kathy

Q: Please explain what “cross currency swap” is and how will it affect AYA’s bottom line.
Thanks, Ron

Q: I believe Auto Canada Inc. is releasing earnings this Thursday. Their stock is down ~14% in the last month on no news and all reports are that cars are selling as well as ever so I’m thinking that there is an opportunity here for a quick profit. Would you agree?

Q: Hello Peter and Team, In my TFSA portfolio, I already have a 1/2 position in DHX.B, a 1/2 position in ECI, a full position in GS, and a 3/4 position in HXS. I would appreciate your suggestion(s) for this year's $5500 contribution. Thanks as always.
