Q: While watching Peter on BNN I heard him mention that DBO had been added to the 5i Growth Portfolio. Did not know that! When was this brought to members' attention on the 5i website - is there some place members are given the signal of a new inclusion in a portfolio?

Peter mentioned that DBO's technology has been around for 14 years. Two questions: What is the catalyst for this company to get recognition from 5i now? What is your outlook for earnings and capital appreciation over the next 1 -3 years?

While on the subject of his recent appearance, kudos to Peter for once again providing un-hyped informative investor info to build our investing knowledge! I am curious how much weight does Peter give to the "Street Consensus" info often asked of BNN hosts? How should ordinary retail investors treat such information? Is it trustworthy or does it perhaps reflect 'self-serving' biases of analysts who do curry favour to deeper pockets?

Thanks for your great service!

Q: I think I'm ready to throw in the towel on PHM and SCR, being down 54% and 42.5%, respectively. I've been doing the Lazarus Watch on them, but I'm ready to concede these will not be coming back from the dead any time soon.

In that vein, I was thinking of replacing them with beaten up oil/energy stocks, that are more likely to recover than either of these. Some thoughts are: Cequence, Rock Energy, Pine Cliff and Cathedral. What are your thoughts on your favourite one of these, assuming I'm in a fugue state and believe in oil recovery? : )

Alternatively, could you recommend a stock, in any sector, with some good trading potential, with a stock price of under $1?

I know this goes against 5 I methods, and for what it's worth, this is not my usual M.O. I normally follow solid 5 I principles, and have made some very nice returns. (thanks for that!). Rather, this is my Mad Money Recovery Mode -- and wanted to exchange, roughly, share count and dollar value. (I think we all have a tiny "gambling gene" in all of us, otherwise we would never go near the Market, with our hard earned cash.)

If you think PHM or SCR are worth holding onto, on the other hand, I would value your opinion. (I do tend to hold onto to things for the longer term if there is hope of probable recovery.)

Q: What do you like about DBO? As you made room for this by removing CXI, I assume that you must really like this name.

Am I right in understand that the technology needs to be integrated into a film during the production process and can be quite labour intensive? Will this make it difficult for them to get a wide adoption of the technology?
