Q: How is it best to determine the valuation for First Service? I am guessing price/cash flow because looking at the P/E, it appears to be extremely expensive. What would be a reasonable P/CF range for this company? What would be a reasonable P/CF range for this sector?

Q: Hi 5I team, I have learned a lot via your educational investment ideas. For stocks trading at low volume, how many and when to buy and sell? How do institutional funds trade or they just avoid if average volume is less than certain number? This low volume may associate with small market capital. Thanks again.

Q: Hi Team,

I know the expectations on ceapro are probably VERY HIGH and the recent attention on it is probably pricing it for perfection. On the other hand, it is debt free, adding a new facility, has rising sales and has a patented technology. Could the current price be justified?
Great job as usual guys!!

Q: I have an RRSP holding of WEF (1/2 position) that sits about where I purchased at 2.00 a long time back. It seems to trade in a range up to 2.35 and down under $2.00. This has been tolerable given the dividend but I would like your advice on where you see it going in the next 6 months given the seasonal cycles and the general environment for lumber producers. Also, do you see a reason to hold or do you have a better alternative to recommend?
