Q: Good afternoon,

ITP, is coming down lately, and I been looking into it for a possible long term investment for about 5% of my holdings. My investment brokerage have it at 15.6x time earnings and undervalued. It pays a US dividend which is approximatelly 40% of cashflow (I could be wrong here) which seems safe and they have been increasing it. Do you recommend it? If yes or no can you tell me why?

Thanks

Paul

Q: I am trying to determine how/if to incorporate foreign exchange gains or losses when doing my portfolio weightings. Assume I started with $100k Cdn and I buy 9 Cdn stocks and 1 US equally. If none of the stocks changed in value, except the one US stock was now worth $14,000 due to foreign exchange gains, that one stock would now represent 12.3% of my portfolio when valued in Cdn dollars. If I wanted to keep my original 10% per share holding Would I then sell 2.3% to get back to my original 10% holding or do I ignore the conversion for now and say it is still just 10% of my portfolio.

Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi Peter and Team - Recent comments on BNN Market Call indicate that now is a good time to invest in small craft brewers due to increased shelf space in the beer stores as well as the decision to allow grocery stores to sell beer. Brick Brewing was mentioned as a good company in this space but it is expensive. Are there any other small craft breweries you would recommend and perhaps even one of the larger breweries. Thanks.

Q: I used to be in ATD.B but exited too early at about $37. This company seems to have no end in advancing its share price, not to mention the dividend increases/growth (on a percentage basis anyway). Though the dividend part is a bit of a mirage since it started from next to nothing to a very very tiny something.

At $60 today, it is worth the risk to take a position again? It certainly have a history of success, but of course the question is - can it be perpetuated?

Your insight is much appreciated.
