Q: A couple of my holdings have been punished for reporting weak quarterly numbers, namely Parkland (PKI) and Newalta (NAL). Here's my question: I hear some people say that one weak quarter is often followed by another, while others say that one quarter is too soon to decide on a stock. Could I have your comments on PKI and NAL, as well as on how to decide whether a bad quarter is a harbinger or a blip. Thanks very much.

Q: Hi 5i,
Are all insiders created equal? Using JE Just Energy as an example, am I right in believing CEO's, CFO's, have more inside knowledge on company specifics than say a 10% holder?
Why I say this, would Jim Pattison have bought stock in JE, Just Energy, knowing the company was going to slash their dividend so soon after his purchases and take a 25% haircut on the stock price?
Also how do directors rate in insider knowledge ?
Thanks.

Q: re: ALA Altagas
As of late I have been hearing and reading many pundit comments suggesting ALA has a very bright future - especially if/when LNG approvals starting coming in... if/when being the biggest component in that statement. With that in mind I have a few questions;
1) your thoughts on the 2nd 1/4 results released July 31?
2) is there a reason there doesn't seem to be much interest in ALA on a volume and 5i membership basis (last 5i question was June 10)
3) What do you think about ALA with and without the LNG approvals in place over the next year and beyond?
Thanks for all you do

Q: re: TOU Tourmaline
Your thoughts please on 2nd 1/4 results and CEO Mike Rose' comments?
And with that in mind, I sold 50% of my position in TOU @ $56 early July. Everyone loves this company and I am seriously considering repurchasing my position after the recent price correction. Would you consider this a wise move?
Thanks for all you do

Q: ACQ. I'm assuming from your earlier answer and its plunging stock price that the conference call didn't go well. Now down 8% on the day, following a 16% fall over the past weeks, any momentum in this stock seems headed downward in the short to medium term, at any rate. Am I wrong?
Q: I'm holding PHK (US) in my TFSA to get US dollars for travelling. Given interest rates will probably rise am I wise to hold or look at another high yielding US stock. If so what would you suggest? I'm not necessarily looking for growth. Also if I hang on to PHK how do you think it will react over a time period if rates only rise fractionally? As always, great answers to (my dumb) questions.

Q: Hello peter.
First question for me. I have just sold bns due to all the problems in the world. I would like to be a bit more safe. Some of my investments in my riff are Provincial bonds. Some of them are coming due. Some of them were in the 4.5% and higher I should have taken longer terms. Are there any recommendation on your site on safe bonds, including provincial bonds or corporate bonds that are safe. Due to our age we are looking for maximum 5- 8 year laddered terms. Looking forward to your reply

Q: I hold ALA, PPL, IPL, KEY, VET, PEY.
ALA I view more as a utility.
PPL, IPL, and KEY I see as oil services.
VET I see as more oil than gas and PEY I see as more gas than oil.
They're all in the energy sector though and combined they are 30% of my portfolio.
I would like to add an oil growth stock. Between SGY, DEE and RE, which one would you choose and do you think my energy sector weighting is too high?

Q: re:TD + ("Canada's" 6 biggest banks)
catching up a little late on my reading... have a 10% position in TD. Read an article which said...
"""Canada’s six biggest banks - Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE:TD), Royal Bank of Canada (NYSE:RY), Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE:BNS), Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (NYSE:CM), Bank of Montreal (NYSE:BMO) and National Bank of Canada (OTCPK:NTIOF) - had their outlooks cut to negative from stable by Standard & Poor’s because of regulatory changes that could affect bondholders."""
the comment continued with
"""S&P says the outlook revision reflects its "expectation of reduced potential for extraordinary government support arising from implementation of the proposed new elements of the resolution framework for Canadian banks.""""
I am up 12% and have very minimal understanding about what this exactly says.... what is your recommendation please?
Thank you for all you do
