Q: Good morning: I have owned BAD (in a Riff) for many years and have gained about 50,000. on it.. But since the short attack nothing is happening.. Question: What would you replace it with. I'm thinking about ATA. Please advise and also give me other suggestions. Thanks. Ernie

Q: Are you of 2 minds on ATA? I get the sense you like the company which seems to be doing well including setting new highs recently. One the other hand your comments seem to suggest that you don’t think it is really a growth company. Maybe you feel the valuation is too high for a slow growth company?
I like the momentum, the sector and the management. In spite of what my iPhone says they don’t pay a dividend so I sort of feel they are a growth company after all. They appear to straddle manufacturing and IT. I suspect there must be some tie-in with the University of Waterloo which may help them stay on top of the technology race.
Any comments?
Thanks,
Ji

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
You and your Team are good at answering impossible questions so I have another one for you. Firstly, you have a well diversified portfolio consisting of 23 stocks which is performing very well. All factors considered ...if you had to pick one of these for best value for either a short term trade or a 3-5 year period which would it be?
Thanks for your opinion which always provides another valuable dimension in dealing with Mr.Market!

Q: I have held ATS for almost 3 years with a capital gain of 13%. I would like to see a larger gain in the future but note the fall in order bookings & backlog. Do you think this is a sign of future problems ? Do you think ATS is worth continuing to hold or are there other companies that you would favour. Other Industrial sector holdings are BOS, LNR, CJT, WSP, DRT, XTC, KBL.
Thank you as always.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
ATA dropped again today as low as $8.57...which is a new 52 week low. In relation to there balance sheet do you think this is fair value or is it still over priced? Also, when a good company has a disappointing quarter such as this what do you think is a reasonable average number of days the stock will crash before it stabilizes or hits a new floor. For example I have heard that you should wait at least 3 trading days to see if stability occurs...I know every case is different. I am just trying to get some guidelines which may help to avoid the "falling-knife"! Ha!Ha!
Thanks for your assistance!
Respectfully...
