Q: A suggestion: Sometimes, especially after an event, two or more subscribers want your take on a company. You could put the letters together (one after the other), and write your answer underneath, instead of having to comment on each letter separately.

Q: Good morning. When assessing a company's stock, how important are metrics such as price to earnings and price to cash flow?

What is the most important metric for a retail investor to be aware of, or is there such a thing? Does it depend on the type of business or sector the company is involved in?

Finally, for P/E, is it more important to pay attention to 'current' P/E or 'forward' P/E? How reliable are the quoted ratios, since the value seems to vary a bit from from site to site for some companies? Also, some sites will often not quote a current and/or forward P/E. Any reason for this?

Thanks as always for your valuable information and advice.

Q: Hi Peter and team,

I have held CNQ for quite some time, but the stock, with the overall sector, hasn't been doing much. I am down about 20% on the stock. With some patience, I know the stock will rebound once the sector does, but I was thinking about potentially switching into Whitecap Resources or Raging River as they seem to have held up fairly well in the sector and have good growth prospects. In terms of upside potential, would you think staying with CNQ would be better than entering into one of these other names?

Appreciate your thoughts.

Q: my question is regarding Altagas (ALA-T). i purchased it for a core position in my son's account at about $25 and needless to say i'm very happy about the results. the way i understand things is that substantial "ebitda" should occur in the next several years.some of their contracts are very lucrative, long term and inflation protected.i guess management performance will be key to ensure these projects are properly executed . another concern i have is "when" interest rates do rise (and i realize that may several years away), would't a stock like ALA would get lambasted in that environment ? so finally, i'm thinking of buying more, what are your likes and dislikes about this stock. thanx norm

I have recently stumbled across a very small company Ryerson McGraw (MHR). Do you have any thoughts? It seems very thinnly traded. I am looking for places to park some cash until the market gives some direction.
