Q: Hi Peter and the 5i team. What about CFP-T and forestry stocks in general. Seems like housing is recovering in the US. The charts certainly look good on CFP but maybe a pullback buying opportunity?

Q: I do a yearly review of my portfolio and stocks I may be interested in buying for the future. This year I decided to add EPS, dividend payout and profit margin to other metrics I look at. Please help me understand how companies can continually pay out more than they take in, especially when their profit margins are low or in the negative. An example I was looking at was BPF.UN. The web site I was looking at shows EPS as -0.15, dividend payout 1.18 and profit margin as -6.48.
Q: Beta. You were asked where to find Beta. He might look at his brokerage firm. FYI, my Investors Edge account lists beta (under the performance screen) for about 90% of the stocks that I follow.
Q: Peter, what is going on with CUS do you think. Even to-day when everything is up-even ECI-this one is still headed down. Anything I read looks positive long term. My neighbour is an engineer at the plant here in BC and he is quite positive on the company and owns a lot of shares. Should I buy more at some pont? Thank you...JP

Q: Hi Peter,
Like your opinion on WU. It is a company in which some of the best investors have a stake. It recently dropped to its 52 week low. Is it a good buy or avoid. Thanks

Q: My question is about Student Transportation.This stock lists two dates re: their dividend. It has an ex div date of 11/28/12 and a payout date of 12/17/12. Would you still get the dividend payout if you sold after the ex dividend date? Thank you. I appreciate all that I am able to learn from 5i. It really broadens my thinking.
Q: Hi Peter- What do you think of companies such as NLY-N and AGNC-N? Do you think that the dividend is stable? I have had them for a couple years and it worked out fine so far.

Q: I was somewhat disappointed with DDS Wireless' Q3 results although the Q3 loss was heavily influenced by foreign exchange losses. The Company still maintains healthy gross margins and strong balance sheet. Is their any cause for concern as the stock has dropped 20% since Q3 was reported?
Q: hello 5i:
First, a comment. I've complimented you on the service you offer, so no need to go back there. But I would like to add that this Q and A forum has become a necessity for me: first place I look EVERY DAY, and I'm constantly surprised by the things I learn reading questions from my peers (and of course your answers). Also get some very good portfolio ideas, so that is a thank you to all that write in.
Second: Peter, can I have your single best idea for the Health Care Sector (I currently have no exposure to this sector); stability is more important than growth (70/30) and a dividend is essential. Thanks, I'll look forward to this.
