Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
I noticed this morning that, according to AVO's most recent Ink Insider Report, 563,400 shares have been repurchased at an average price of about $17.50 so far since May 14, 2015. Avigilon raised $100 million back in April, 2014 at $29 per share. Aside from alienating those people who purchased shares at $29 do you think it makes sense for a company in hyper-growth mode to use their cash to buy back stock when the company is not generating any free cash flow on an operating basis ??? (using data from TD Direct Investing) Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, DL

Q: Can I have your thoughts on Gold Corp's offering of their Tahoe shares @ $17.20. If I remember correctly they have increased their credit from 2 billion to 3 billion just two days ago.
Q: Having only recently added Amaya to my portfolio, The G & M article this weekend was more than coincidental. Can I assume that today's 5% drop was a result of the negative features in the article. Are you still moderately or aggressively bullish on this company?
Q: Please explain "rate reset preferreds" (not necessarily just ENB/ENF) and how to invest in them.

Q: I bought this preferred just recently for a price of $25 and it has gone down steadily since then -- it now has a bid of $24.35. It has a yield of 6.5% and I bought it for income but if I lose in capital what I am gaining in income it doesn't make me happy (grin). What do you think the future holds for this preferred?
Q: ATD.B seems to be on an upward momentum. I would have expected the market turmoil on Greece to negatively affect this company, but that does not seem to be happening. Given its European holdings, would you consider a Greek exit to be a bad influence in near term stock performance?

Q: I currently own CVE and Husky Energy but looking at selling CVE for Suncor as I am quite a bit under with CVE and wondered if SU is a better stock or would you recommend a different stock if I were to sell CVE?

Q: My good friend, curious about my 5 year CAGR of 15% - aided and abetted by 5i - and unhappy with his professionally managed portfolio that is flat over 18 months, asked me to take a look.
There are two major problems:
Not only is a stupendous 53% of the portfolio in 5 banks, 3 Canadian and 2 U.S. but another 16% is in 6 energy stocks, and 11% of the portfolio is in CPG.
This is of course patently ridiculous.
All six energy stocks are substantially down. The question: on a go forward basis do you see any hope for these six or should he just cut and run and of course diversify?
Thank you

Q: Peter and Team:
I am fairly well diversified in the North American markets, but feel I need more International exposure. You have spoken highly of Mawer Funds in the past (knowing you are not big fans of MF's), and I was wondering if you could provide an opinion on MAW150 and MAW120 as a way of achieving this exposure. Are there ETF's that might be better? Are there any tax differences between international etfs vs MF's if they both trade on the TSX? Also if going with a mutual fund is there any advantage through buying through the fund vs through my discount brokerage? Please dock a couple of question credits for this one to be fair.
Thanks as always.
Phil

Q: Good morning. Unfortunately, I have a large part of my holdings locked into a company RRSP program. There are decent, not great, mutual funds to choose from. I have about 18 years to retirement and am almost 100% in equities. What would your rough advice be for %-age in large cap dividend, midcap, and small cap be? With funds it is tough to get as low a weighting in financials and materials as you recommend. Amy suggestions? Thanks, as always for your excellent service!
Q: Hi Peter and team, great job as usual. Are you contemplating a US model portfolio? If not , I have 50K US to invest for a 3-5 year period, obviously I would like to keep it in US$, hence US stocks. Risk tolerance, moderate. Could you recommend a diversified portfolio with a 5% weighting. I have absolutely no knowledge of US Stocks.Thanks for all your great advice. Ivan
