Q: Given the uncertainty over Oil (in Alberta) and Provincial Govt (NDP, Royalty Reviews, etc) what do you think about Crescent Point Energy Corp?

It has assets outside of Alberta, has either Buy or Strong Buy recommendations from TD and RBC research. Seems to be at a low point for the price.

Q: Hi 5I: currently my portfolio holds only Canadian growth stocks. We feel that we are missing US growth, so therefore would appreciate your help. With 150K (Canadian) to invest, could you give 4 or 5 suggestions that we might enjoy the same measure of growth and dividends we get from the model portfolio.

Q: Good Morning
I was wondering what your opinion is of STB. It pays a great consistent dividend but stock price has been falling lately and I am nor sure why. Would you be a buyer or seller
Thanks

Q: Further to the question asked today by Ernest re: ipl. Is it not true that the big IF here is the alberta royalty review?
50% of the GOVT royalty revenues come from the oilsands, and 40% of ipl's revenue is from the sands. according to the RSI it is way oversold. The financial metrics according to you are
within limits, yet it won't break out of the descending triangle. If I am incorrect, what in your opinion will make it move. Thanks as
always. Sorry that I didn't put a salutation at the beginning.

Q: Hi there,

When you last referenced VGO in late May the comment was it was high risk, good potential with a high valuation given limited earnings. With it selling off below $2/share is it something you would start to see as being worth a small position for someone willing to accept risk?

Secondly, is there significant risk of concept failure here (ie it goes to zero) or is the greater risk slow progression and the need for patience before things move ahead?

Thank you for your insights.

Q: If there were to be a competing bid for RLC how soon do you believe this would occur and what odds would you give it? Given this offer for RLC do you believe this will precipitate future take-overs of other healthcare REITS. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter,

A colleague of mine recently rented an RV through CanaDream and loved the experience. He mentioned they were public, so I did a bit of work and found that the company is quite cheap given it's relatively stable earnings (annual basis) and consistent growth. Can you give it a quick look and let me know if you see any red flags? I'm thinking of making it a 2-3% position.

Mike

Q: Further to Peter's article in the Financial Post on June 19, 2015, "5 Things To Look For When Buying A Mutual Fund", he referenced buying a fund whose managers are not allowed to personally own stocks. He also mentioned performance during past tough years. Can you narrow down a fund or fund family that he would identify meeting the criteria. Thanks.

Thank You,

Q: Hi Peter. Any thoughts on the emerging 3D printing market. Cisco and a few others seem to be at the forefront. Would you consider an ETF such as BMO Nasdaq as decent exposure to this. I have considerable cash sitting idle in my RRSP. I have a lot in 3 banks, but they are not doing so great anymore. Any suggestions. Thanks for all your great advice.

Q: Can you decipher for me. I own some shares of MCCAN and I got this offer

"Each holder of MCAN's common shares ("Common Shares") as of the close of business on June 16, 2015 (the "Record Date") will be issued one right (a "Right") for each Common Share held. The combination of fifteen Rights and $10.90 (the "Exercise Price") will entitle a Rightsholder to subscribe for one Common Share at or before 4:00 pm (Toronto time) on July 10, 2015 (the "Expiry Time"). Rights not exercised at or before the Expiry Time will be void and will have no value".

Much appreciated

Q: Here's a syndrome I'll bet a lot of investors who were sold preferred shares can relate to. You become overly comfortable as it seems to be relatively immune to ups and downs for many years. Then one day you wake up and see it has recently tanked and you have lost as much as all the income you've ever gotten from it... and more. Any comments or advice about dealing with this syndrome in general (or in particular as regards ALA.PR.A)? Thanks.
