Q: I am looking at 5 stocks with the objective of buying 2 or 3 of them in my TFSA (which is doing well thanks to you). The 5 are SPB, SGY, TOU, RRX and IPL. Only SGY and IPL have net buy insider trading. TOU and RRX have large net selling.
How important are these insider trading numbers and can you recommend 2 or 3 of these?

Q: I have held PKI (Parkland) for some years now and am interested in your thoughts on holding the stock for at least another year. Also thoughts you might have on FRU (Freehold Royalties) on holding for another year and ditto for BCE (Bell Canada).
Q: WEF. Western Forest Products is off its highs close to 30% now. The RSI suggests it is oversold.
Would you agree? And would this be a reasonable time to add to my existing position in this stock?
I am still up nicely over the last year and have been looking for an opportunity to add.
On the other hand do you think some of the "steam" is out of the forestry sector?
Thank you.

Q: What are your thoughts on CCO Cameco and their large decline
Q: Need your detailed analysis with this one. Looking at the latest quarterly earnings from SNC-Lavalin, most of their net income comes from what they call their ICI or Infrastructure Concessions Investments which consist of the recently sold Altalink and 407ETR (to name two.)
The former management took a strategy to diversify SNC income precisely to ensure a more predictable income quarter to quarter rather than the more risky and fickle revenue that comes from the Engineering and Construction side of the business. So, while they have a new strategy and now 3 billion more dollars, my concern is that their dividend from quarter to quarter is in jeopardy.
It's safe to say that the SNC-Lavalin of 2012 is not the same company as SNC of today anymore, so how secure and safe is it's dividend with this massive change in strategy?

Q: Thank you 5i for being here. Stumbling across your site just under 2 years ago has been the best investment I have ever made.
Speaking of The Best Investment - if you had to buy just 1 name for 5-10 year hold (I am 62 years old) which name would it be.
Thank you as always.

Q: Hi Gents,
What is the Summary Portfolio that was posted to site 2 Jun (I am new to site, and cannot find an explanation or come up with one myself)? It cannot be the A and B stocks as there are C rated stocks on the list, and it is more than the Income and Model combined.
Thanks.
Bob

Q: I own both LGT.B & ALC. LGT.B has been on a tear for the past 2 weeks but not ALC. Can you suggest a reason for the discrepancy?
I am thinking ALC has had to borrow money to purchase the new ships. Could the borrowing costs be depressing ALC's earnings? Presumably once the loans are paid down and the lower operating costs of the new ships start to make their impact ALC's earnings (and share price) will increase. (Hopefully the loans will be paid down before interest rates start to rise). Does this make sense?
Both ALC and LGT.B seem to be thinly traded however I found it more difficult to purchase LGT.B over ALC. I suppose a thinly traded stock ought to increase more rapidly due to the lack of float. (It should also drop more rapidly too!) I think the main trouble with these 2 companies is lack of float. ALC did a 10 for 1 stock split about 18 months ago which helped. I suppose LGT.B would need to reach about $100 to do a split.
Anyways thanks for listening (actually reading).

Q: Hi Peter + Group Re Western forest products (WEF) what the overhang from Brookfield secondary offering Dated Oct 9 2013 @ $1.45.c/w warrant@$1.60 exercisable until July 31 2014. It appears The stock is under selling pressure until the warrants expire. What is your thoughts on this?

Q: Hello 5i Team.
Do you foresee an impact on natural gas demand and price if the US commits to the proposed 30% reduction in greenhouse gases from coal by 2030? Andy Bell on BNN June 2, 2014 said 40% of US carbon emissions come from coal fired electricity.
What would be a best guess on the timeframe of an impact?
I suppose another possibility is that Utilities seeking price stability develop wind, solar, or hydro capacity instead of developing natural gas power plants; I.E. ongoing costs of renewables could be more predictable and stable than natural gas.
Thanks, David.
