Q: Hi Peter and team. I trust you are getting better and better Peter. I own XTC, LNR and MG all around 2.6% to 3+% of a very well diversified PF thanks to you. Taxes are not a problem as I am in a low bracket for 2014. My XTC and LNR are down for me a bit. MG is up. I want to sell one of them and then buy more of AYA which I bought at $6.48 thanks to you - or SYZ which I own as well. Or I may buy new - QST, or CXR or PLI. I am doing this as an aggressive move for the next year or 2. Which should I sell? and then buy? I hope you are all having a very good summer and thanks for all you do!

Q: Peter and Team: I understand and agree with your decision to avoid target prices for stocks, but, having said that, I feel quite frustrated that I am unable to assess the risk-reward profile for a stock. I can only look at the chart and try to extrapolate.

Can you give me a sense of the risk-reward profile for two companies: Evertz Technologies (ET) and Sylogist (SYZ). Yahoo Finance shows 5-6 analysts covering Evertz. The low price target is $28 and the high target is $37. The stock is currently trading around $17. Are those realistic targets? Can you help me make sense of those targets (or provide one)? Yahoo shows no analyst coverage for SYZ. Can you give me a sense of its risk-reward, perhaps by comparing the two stocks? Thank you for continued great service.

Q: Hi,
I bought a 5% position in ACQ, autocanada,@ 40.00, it has now pulled back about 20% from it,s all time high and is still just over a 5% positon in my portfolio. My question is, at this price do I buy another 2%, and go to an overweight position, and trim when it hits 10%, or hold what I have and play the slow and steady game. I realize you probably would like more info for a proper answer, but reading your answers to the last few questions on ACQ. I get the feeling your fairly comfortable with this growth stock, and with the recent pullback it looks like a good time to add.

Many Thanks as always!

Q: I currently hold WPK. Is it worthwhile to switch to CCL.B or just hold on to WPK at this time. Taxes are not an issue.

Q: Peter: I have been looking at Sylogist, SYZ for the past few days as it reaches new highs. I'm puzzled by the reporting of volume. For example, today, the official count is 2615 but a look at trades on TMX.com shows many thousands more. Why the difference especially on what appears to be quite an illiquid stock, especially if you want to trade. Thank you and kind regards,

Q: re: CGX Cineplex

Thank you for your answer yesterday. Can only assume the reason for the type of reply was because I asked my question poorly.

CGX during strong market conditions continues to slide. Can you tell me please whether your consider CGX sell hold or buy and any observations you have at this time for your recommendation?

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: Hi guys,
I have a half position in FSZ (Fiera)which has been trading sideways for the last 2 months. Would now be a good time to top it up to a full position.
Thanks Peter.
