Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Please give me your current evaluation of PAA. How is there balance sheet,management and assets? They are at a multi year low and this quarter may depress it further.Do you think we are close to a bottom? Any hope for silver recovering in the next year or two? Will PAA be a sector survivor?
Thanks for your insights as always!
P.S. You were great on BNN the other day!

Q: I am wondering about pipeline coating companies, as they should be in demand regardless of the falling price of oil. SCL and EFX appear to have the best fundamentals in the sector, given their payout ratios, price/sales and price/book and both are significantly down over the past 12 months. I am wondering: 1) is this a good sector given a 2-5 year time frame; 2) are these the 2 best companies in the sector to consider; and 3) which one would you choose if I only bought one, and why? Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I was ready to buy Cinemark, waited for their report, thought at first glance it looked reasonable - and am surprised at how the stock price has reacted. Can you please comment?

Thank you very much.

Q: Hi team. I bought Corby at $24.06 and it is now $19.86. The chart over the last year looks quite rocky compared to ADW.A. Perhaps I bought too soon. Do you see any upside to Corby (CSW.A)? thank you ahead and I hope you are enjoying your summer.

Q: Hello Peter,
Usually a month from now I start investing the built up cash balances in my non registered and registered accounts and am fully invested by November end. I am wondering if it makes good sense to hold back this year and maintain the cash balance going into 2016.
The reasoning is thus. The economy has slowed with the risk of a recession on the rise. Corporations had lower earnings expectations which have been mostly met but the revenue misses have been an excuse for market sell offs. There is the fear of a global slowdown including the US(GDP growth projections have been tempered for the 2nd half). The Fed has been painted in the corner and will necessarily raise rates once or twice this year.
What is your opinion? Should I be all in or think of retaining the cash for capital preservation?
If you think the markets are fine, where would you advise I focus my attention? Your growth portfolio or the model portfolio?
Your opinion is highly valued as always.

Q: I took a position in SLF thanks to your advice the other day and it is already up $900; many thanks. I also took a 1/2 position in WSP and it is also up surprisingly. Now I would like to have your take on WSP and TRI for future gains. - Ted

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I currently still own some oil/services stocks that I'd like to get rid of. They include WCP, ARX, SES, and BDI. A couple of parts to my question... Which of these would you continue to hold? I was thinking either only WCP or WCP and ARX. What stocks would you recommend to replace them with that will have more short-medium term potential. I already currently own TD, ATD.B, ESL, CCL.B, SJ, BOS, AVO, AYA, DRT, BAM.A, SYZ, MDA, CXI, KXS, XTC, GUD, DHX.B, OTC, and PHM. For simplicity assume my larger caps are 5-7% of my holdings and my small caps are <5%. And would you recommend making this switch now, or wait until there's a bit more of an upswing in the price of oil? They are held outside my TFSA so I can take a tax loss on them.

Thanks,

Jordan

Q: Good Morning 5i

Like many others - Looking to make a 4% of portfolio speculative move into energy sector once price into mid 30s. Currently hold no oil. Any comment on that strategy. Will hold for about 3 years before looking to sell or sell earlier if appreciable bounce occurs sooner. Can you give me 3-4 names that will initially do the best on any eventual oil bounce.

Thanks for you valued help as always!
