Q: Can you tell me a bit more about this company? As well, would you see it as a growth stock and recommend it at the current price level of around $20? Thanks.
Q: I am interested in listed companies that manufacture and sell robots for warehouse use. I think this market is going to grow substantially in the next while. Can you suggest some companies that are involved in this area ?
Q: My daughter would like to invest in something Robotics related in her RRSP...thinking long term. Would ATA be a good offering even though it is near a high?
Any other ideas? Would XIT be too broad?
Much appreciated, Paul
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.
Can you please comment on ATA in general terms and speak specifically to today's announce deal. Is this not the sort of deal that could give the name a serious tailwind?
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!

Q: Could you please give your thoughts on the latest results and what you expect of ATS in the future. I was surprised today to see such a large volume trade along with what is at this point over an 8% drop. Many thanks.
I'm interested in your take on the continued sell-off on ATA. The disappointing quarter aside, do you think the softness now speaks to concern about the currency move in China and the ripple effects that would have on North American manufacturing? Is their exposure in Asia and beyond not diversified enough to insulate them for any softness in North America.
Q: What does it take to move ATS Automation ahead. Today's financial results seemed decent and yet it dropped around 7%. Did the financial results strike you as OK? Thanks for your input.
Q: Hi 5i: Could you please comment on the ATA earnings? I cannot make sense of the summary given on my RBC Direct system - there seems to be some confusion relating to earnings per share. And the market did not like what it saw. I'd appreciate your opinion.
