Q: Your comments on their 3rd quarter results please. Looks like they continue to forge ahead. I have most of the balanced portfolio with full positions, and half of the growth at 3% positions or less for a total of 60% per your suggestion. Re your philosophy of adding to a winning position, and considering Kinaxis performance to date would you bring it up to a full position.
Thanks Peter

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I saw this article on National Post that could be driving down ATD.B. Sounds like Credit Suisse analysts are saying that its price to cash flow ratio is inflated and that it's driving a bubble in consumer stocks. What are your thoughts on this? I have a fairly large position (~8%) in ATD.B and don't want to get caught in a sector falling out of favor (like what just happened in biotech).

What stocks in the Model Portfolio might fall into the category of "Roll-up companies" that seem to be getting attacked by short sellers lately?

Q: What is your opinion on cpd?
is it a buy now and what is your future outlook?
Would cpd rise with a rise in interest rates and with interest rates at the bottom this would be a good entry here?

Q: Good morning, just a clarification to your answer from Imtiaz. Your statement "We have seen a recent President's Letter report on the company, and it basically was throwing in the towel" insinuates that management is "giving up". Is this apparent from the letter? Will you keep it in the portfolio for now? Thanks very much.

Q: Hi,

Some of the selling in PHM is being prompted by analysts who were earlier recommending it and now backing away from it. Also, the company has revised 2015 annual run rate to 155M from 200M in their updated investor presentation. I think this has to do with their low share price making it difficult to finance new deals. What do you think?

Q: I have held this company for some time and I'm down significantly on it. I lost money on it back in the day when it really was a tech company. I'm a slow learner. The stock hasn't done anything in the last 5 years except loose value. Over the last month it is down almost 8%, 16% over the last 6 months and 26.5% over the last year. In 5 years it has lost 45% of its value.

I'm not sure about its business model. To me it is bordering on extortion and I'm not sure how much growth there is going forward. The company put itself up for sale and no one would touch it. The only ones making money on this company are the lawyers.

I've lost patience and am going to sell WIN. I guess your metrics make it a 'B' on your report but I don't understand keeping it in the 'Income Portfolio'. The dividend looks very attractive, however, the decline in share value has more than eaten that up.
