Q: Hi 5i, my question is regarding Tree Island Steel ( TSL ) Today they released second quarter results. Can you look thru the numbers and give an opinion . any red flags etc. ?
i was thinking of purchasing some QST by selling a third of my TSL position in order to spread the risk. i realize each of these companies are in totally different sectors and are very risky. what do you think of this strategy ? thank you

Q: Hi,
Could you please tell me why the more than average sell off of SVC Sand vine, CS Capstone, and BB Blackberry? SVC was a resent recommendation twice on BNN. BB was highly mentioned on Seeking Alpha. I am thinking of selling at a loss one or more of them and buying PTX or DEE, both in the oil and gas sector (your opinion).
Thank you,
Dennis

Q: Good morning,

Could you please comment on releases from parkland fuel and stella jones, also, if as noted responses are delayed today, could you add crescent point that reports this afternoon as well. The former two seem to have marginal results but would appreciate your take.

Thanks,

Eric

Q: fsz
Hi- Fiera recently announced June assets under management, but did not include a comparison to May or previous months. I can't find more info on the Fiera site or archived news. Are the assets under mnanagement increasing or decreasing? Is that why Fsz is going down? I wanted to add to my small position.
Thanks

Q: Concerning the short attack on EIF, it would appear that some of the comments by Veritas and repeated in the G&M article were misleading, if not bordering on dishonest. You mentioned the fact that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if an ordinary joe tried such a scam, they would likely be fined by the regulators. So how do these people get away with it? My investor question is; do you think the secured debentures, more specifically the EIF.DB.D debs, are an ok buy. They are "on sale".

Q: Hi Peter, Avigilon has been taking quite the beating ever since 2014 began (bad timing for those who entered a position) and with their recent earnings release, stock has been taking a further beating. While I strongly believe in the future of this company, have a high appetite for risk and currently have a 2-3 year investment horizon on the stock, I am wondering if I will ever see a profit on this investment. Do you believe this company will ever return to their previous highs and beyond and perform as they have in 2012/2013 or has the fundamentals shifted out of favor for AVO? Thank you.

Q: Peter and Team,

Can you comment on Arsenal Energy's results? They look pretty good to me... it currently is 3.6% of my portfolio and I'm planning on continuing to hold the stock. Your thoughts on the long term for this company are appreciated.

Q: Hi,
Looking at your Badger Rept dated May 8 2012 rated A-, now B+, due to increased valuation, no doubt.I noticed they have been diversifying into construction which is very strong due to unusually low interest rates. Since there is much talk of rising rates, do you see this as a serious risk to BAD's upside or even line them up for another haircut?

Q: I have owned and added to Husky HSE for a number of years and my cost base is precisely where the stock price is now. So the dividends have been my only return to date, and the company has made it known there will be no div. increases for the next couple of years. I know you have a good opinion of HSE, as do I, but I'm wondering whether it'd be advantageous to switch into Vermilion (similar dividend but better growth opportunities?). Thank you

Q: Peter and Crew:

Regarding the Brookfield Group: Which is preferable to hold, the parent company BAM.A or the individual subsidiaries eg BEP.un. They seem to provide a larger dividend for income, but wondered how they compared for growth. Also was wondering about tax implications in a non registered account.Are "units" treated differently than common shares with respect to dividend income.

Thanks

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.
