Q: Can you please take a look at this company. Could you tell me what your views are based on the most recent contracts awarded and the backlog. Looking at the charts and financials this company looks less expensive than many other in the sector. If the current price looks expensive to you, could you share what metrics you would look at for selecting a purchase price. Thank you Jason N.

Q: UA recently posted earnings of $0.12 per share (down 14%)and revenues that were up 27% both on a 6 month basis. Guidance is that revenues for this year (2015) should grow 25% and operating income 14-15%. Last year earnings for the year were 0.95 so making a big assumption that EPS will grow also at 14% puts their P/E ratio at about $95/(0.95 x 1.14) ~ 88 !! Seems crazy high to me considering the stock is up over 7% today on the news. Am I looking at this right or is there some hidden value I'm not seeing? Thanks for your help as always.

Q: After a massive price decline over the past year, the projected earnings for this stock are now stable. Despite its high debt and the downturn in oil prices, it seems that several analysts rate the stock a buy. How do you rate TPH ? What would be a buy signal ?

Q: At $20 Crescent Point seems pretty beaten up. Even given the dividend and oil price risk do you view it as a pretty solid buy right now?

Q: Hello Peter,
I know this question is an apples to orange comparison (different sectors), but I was wondering if you can shed some light. I sold my holdings in Valeant as it has done very well. I am thinking of putting the proceeds to Patient Home Monitoring and Auto Canada for long term hold. Does this make sense to you? Thanks very much.

Q: With the continued discussion in the financial media about a recession or not a recession in Canada and a Bank of Canada governor who at any opportunity talks down the CAD and does whatever to lower it, this has certainly heightened the negative sentiment on everything Canadian. Is the time yet here that the risk/return ratio for investing in energy and or pipeline stocks now favourable and would a company like BNP with a healthy dividend and good management be a decent investment?
