Q: Hi Peter, How should I view today's bought deal announcement from LSI? On one hand it's a huge raise given the market cap, but on the other it would allow them to purchase roughly 25 units for cash - and accelerate there growth beyond the current 50%+ rate. I don't know if I should be upset or excited.
Thanks in advance.

Q: Peter & Co.,

Looking for an updated opinion of Tim Horton's. A lot of noise these days about failed US expansions, debate over activist investor's looking for short term pops vs. long term value, Kevin OLeary claiming he wants them to 'cut the operational fat' etc etc. It trades at a premium it seems, personally, I have a hard time seeing where the growth is going to come from given the Canadian market saturation (albeit, with some of the most loyal customers around, myself included). I own this in both mine and my mother's portfolio, but have been considering a rotation into High Liner foods for a couple of months now. Whats your take on THI? Would you support a rotation into High Liner, or just continue the ride with Timmy's? Thanks guys / gals!

Q: I am a new member and a long time fan of Peter Hodson and Canadian MoneySaver.
Question: Since bond returns are so poor and now there is a risk of losing capital too, what is an investor to do? I don't feel comfortable being 100% in equity even if it is well diversified and dividend producing. Any ideas?

Q: Hi Peter and Team, regarding Connacher, CLL, wow! Up almost 200% in past three trading days with huge volumes, may I have your thoughts on their recent results and updates. Any other information you can provide would be helpful. With oil at $108 now, differential narrowing nicely and their production looking not bad, where do you see CLL in the next 12 months? Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and others,

I am thinking of adding some banks to my portfolio. Do you see an advantage (and would advise) a fund approach (example: the BMO offering of ZEB-T (equal weight Canadian Banks) vs. a purchase of the same amount divided up at 20% each of the 5 major banks. I am looking for both income and growth (a greed thing I guess - tee hee).

Thanks for your answer and thanks for the great "and especially unbiased" service

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: Since closing at $6.15 on July 5th, Just Energy (JE) has closed higher than the previous trading day’s close every day through yesterday, and now may be pausing at around $7.50. The move doesn’t seem to have been fueled by any news that I have noticed. Could it be primarily a short-covering rally?

Q: For excellent service, thank you more than you can imagine!
AOI and PPY: African Oil and Painted Pony. Do you still like them here, and do you prefer one over the other, or a half position in each? I realize there is sector risk, as well as political and drilling risk.

Q: Both Pref Share etf's and High Yield Bond etf's dropped in price a lot in the last month with expectations of interest rate rises; but the High Yield Bond etf's have recovered nicely in the last week, while Pref share etf's are still down. Is there a reason for the High Yield Bonds significantly outperforming Prefs recently? What do you see going forward?
