Q: I own the 5.5% Aecon 31 Dec 18 convertible debentures. They are trading at about $109, and I bought them in Dec 2014 at about par. Should I take my profit now? If I wait until maturity, I will lose the current premium. I suppose they are trading at a premium because of the embedded warrant value.

Q: I am looking at these 4 stocks for a combination of growth and income. Do you see any problem with these or do you have a better suggestion? Also, do you feel now is a good time to buy or would it be better to wait until summer is over?

Q: Peter; I see Mr. Trudeau said that the first two years of infracture spending will be on " unsexy" things such as recapitalization,deferred maintenance,upgrades and restoring subway signals. Would this not take the shine off the above companies re " major" projects and forward any new work out two years? Thanks.Rod

Q: Peter, Aecon seems to be behaving better as of late, and has won a new contract. I'm about 20% under water on this position, but as I'm looking for a 5 plus year hold I'm considering adding to my current half position. Your thoughts appreciated. Also, might this be a stock you might commence coverage on?

Q: What exactly qualifies as order backlog? Is this considered contracted projects with a high level of certainty that revenue will follow within a certain time frame? Also, can a growing backlog signal issues with a company that they are failing to grow their infrastructure in order to meet demand?

Q: Hello. Could I get your thoughts on ARE after another revenue and earnings miss? CEO says this was a result of project delays, not cancelations, and 60% of the growing backlog will translate to revenue in 2015. The misses, cost management and exposure to oil/gas and mining concern me. Thoughts for someone who bought around $15? Thanks.

Q: I bought Aecon (ARE) about six months ago. After a very healthy gain it has come back down lately. Given that I had regretted not taking a larger position initially, this may be an opportunity to add to my position. Can I please get your views on ARE, assuming a 5 - 10 year horizon. Thank you!
