Q: Hi peter and team,

Nice to see your recommendations on BNN. Is there a compelling reason to switch into BIN if i already hold WM. Both seem to be doing well although BIN is cheaper on a PE basis but WM pays a bigger dividend. It is held in my registered account so there are no tax issues and i pay a minimal trading fee on my account so those aren't considerations.

Thanks

Q: Hello team
I know you have respect for Jason Donville and I do also. Yesterday on BNN he floored a question on DHX media. He seemed to have an issue with the way they dealt with some revenue stream accounting which I don't quite understand. There was nothing dishonest about it but he seemed to feel that the ROE (he likes 20% ROE) and profitability metrics weren't there. He seemed to question the revenue stream from the media inventory.
I know the 5I team likes the stock so what is your balance on what Jason says. Is 20% ROE a stretch in some cases.
It takes two to make a market !
Without Prejudice
Thank You
Clarence

Q: Hello Peter. holding this stock for quite some time (before launch of 5i) and has done very well for me. As such it is now a 9% portfolio weight. As much as I still like it, but getting bit worried from portfolio management point. Do you think it would be prudent to reduce weight say to 5% . Your opinion, please. If you recommend selling some then please advise some 2-3 other choices with a similar characteristics - safety, income and growth. Thanks.

Q: I have been waiting patiently for the carfinco deal to close and I am wondering if it is worth waiting or if I should move on to another holding that may offer more than the approximately 5.5% upside to the closing price of $11.25? What about the special dividend that has been mentioned? I have been considering a position in CXI as an alternative. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

Q: You answered a question a couple of weeks ago stating that this was a good defensive stock. Is there still growth in it? I am kicking myself as I lost patience with it a year ago and sold - missing out on a 25% or so gain. Lesson learned. good entry point?

Q: Boston Pizza has done okay during the year that I have owned it, largely because of the dividend but I am wondering if a switch to MTY is in order. I like dividends and Boston's is certainly higher but MTY seems to be growing theirs and at the end of the day, I am looking for one that will achieve the higher overall return over the next few years. Is a switch in order?

I also own A & W and am very happy to keep it if you think that is a good combination with one of the others.

Thanks. Invaluable service.

Q: Peter and Team,

The segment in the link here: http://www.bnn.ca/Video/player.aspx?vid=545085

Was shown on BNN today. It is on why Cineplex is a short. Agilith has been short and touting their short call (and getting gashed, by the way) for some time. I've owned the stock for a number of years now and like it and still like it but I am curious if you have any thoughts around their short thesis on Cineplex and their claim that the dividend isn't covered by cashflow.

Thanks,

Q: I see that CF is handling the IT financing. Given IT is trading over 10% above the $15 bot deal price, CF should enjoy a nice win. My question is whether that win is enough to move the needle for their Q4 earnings. Is the stock a buy given today's weakness?

Thanks!
