Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I know you are high on this stock and it's been a top pick in a few post replies for 2016. Globeinvestor shows a forward P/E of 8.37. What would you have and from where ?. At 8.37 it would seem to be a back up the truck buy?
Thanks for all you do and all the best for 2016

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

Is the thesis for PUR still there? How much of their revenue come from oil and gas compared to municipal? It has been beaten down to 1% of my portfolio so do you recommend I top up to a reasonable weighting or let it go? Thanks,

Wes

Q: Hi,

I am considering purchasing Telus as a long-term hold for a combination of rising dividends and capital gains. From the previous questions and the fact that it is in the balanced portfolio, I see that you like Telus. On BNN, some of the analysts are worried about Telus due to its Western exposure, given low oil prices as well as other factors that may cause a further slowdown in the economy of Western Canada (Such as Provincial and Federal carbon taxes, etc..). Do you think that this concern is exaggerated, or is it a serious concern that you may factored into your assessment of Telus? Also, for how long do you think that Telus can continue increasing dividends yearly, or twice a year?

Thanks,
IF

Q: I have some cash to deploy in a small non registered account (part of a larger, diversified portfolio) which I use for stocks that give both income (for the div tax credit) and growth (mid to long term time- frame). My overall portfolio is well diversified. I am looking at one or two of tcn, bos, xtc & wsp. (I would try and pick up xtc/wsp at a bit of a pullback). Would you have any strong preference ? Or, do you have other recommendations ?

Q: Am I correct in interpreting Mr Entwhistle's purchase of $10m of Telus shares as a large expression of confidence in the Company and as good news for Telus shareholders?
Can you speculate as to where the funds to make this purchase might have come from -- cash holdings (re)deployed, or would he have likely sold other holdings? It would really be interesting to know what, if anything, was sold to finance this purchase.
Thanks.
And may all of you at 5i, and all your members out there, enjoy all the blessings and peace of this holiday season.

Q: My question pertains to the loan Gud made to Extenway in June 2015. After looking at the Extenway financials I am perplexed to find a reason why GUD management would have entered into such an agreement in the first place. If their loan portfolio is anywhere close to this transaction I think there is a serious problem. Could I get your thoughts on this one.
