Q: what do you think of Saputo (SAP) in the $31s? Its taken quite a hit today but given the, almost for sure, earnings per share revisions downward, its not really trading any "cheaper" than it was before today.

I like the stability of the company but I didn't like how the stock fell on higher than normal volume today before the noon earnings release.

Q: It seems like a pull back is imminent between now and November. I would like to keep my gains I have made in my TFSA over the past few years. Would FSZ be a good place to hide or can you suggest somewhere else to hide.

Q: Hello

REIT, UTILITIES, and TELECOM I believe are 'Interest Sensitive Sectors'?

Are there other 'Interest Sensitive Sectors'? in the TSX like maybe the Consumer Discretionary sector? or other?

Are these 'Interest Sensitive Sectors' affected as much by the US fed rate as by the Cdn fed rate?

If you were to give your best 'guesstimate' how much would these 'Interest Sensitive Sectors' fall in price (% wise) if Interest rates were to increase say 1/2 a percent?

Thank you very much

Q: Hi,
I purchased FSV on June 1 and I wasn't completely sure whether I purchased the pre-split entity or the post-split entity as Colliers has not shown up in my portfolio. Yesterday, it showed a loss of about 60% (another member commented on this drop) and a price of approximately $20. Today, my price on BMOInvestorline is showing about $80 but the TSX is showing it today at about $34. I called BMO and they said I had indeed purchased it pre-split and that Colliers would appear in a few weeks (which I thought was odd).

Do you have any thoughts on the above? Are there more than one FSV trading now? Are any other members facing a similar situation?

Thanks,

Q: What do you think are the implications for the coming King vs. Burwell US Supreme court verdict on PHM's business model? I haven't heard to much about this case but it appears relevant to PHM as I think they target highly subsidized indications with large reimbursements. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Which side is better for PHM and do you think they will win?

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and team
I would like to add to my son's RRSP account but not sure which sector to add to with what stock choice.
Following is current holdings:
Consumer Discretionary 4% with DHX.B DHX Media
Healthcare 4% with PHM Patient Home
Telecom 15% with Telus
ETF 19% CDZ
Utilities 14% with BEP.UN Brookfield
Industrials 22% with BIN and WSP Progressive Waste and WSP Global
Energy 4% with SGY Surge
Info Tech 14% with SYZ Sylogist and CXI Currency Exchange
I am thinking of EFN Element Financial for Financial Sector
or ATD.B to increase Consumer Discretionary. Or do you recommend something else with more growth opportunity.
It would be about a 5% weighting.
Thanks for your help.
