Q: EFN is starting to look very attractive. Why is it so beat up?
The management presentation references tangible leverage, which appears high but wondering if you could put it in context, I'm guessing as a financial this kind of leverage is more acceptable. They seem to be generating higher returns now but if thats just happening due to additional leverage its not really a value add. Do they have any oil and gas exposure? Chesapeake is referenced in the deck, not sure how that ties and how large that exposure would be.

Thanks

Q: I am wondering, when adding new money to my portfolios, WPK is down 5% from its 52wk high and ATD.b is down 6% whereas GIL is down 24% and MG is down 36%. These names are just examples of some possible additions. Assuming diversification is not an issue what do you do? Buy the stocks that have corrected the most or buy the ones that held their value through the correction? The price/book of MG is 1.6 and the other three are all over 3. Can you give me some guidance? Thank you.

Q: Good morning Peter and team! My 21 daughter has $20,000 to invest in a TFSA for the first time. For someone of this age, with the potential to withdraw some money within a 1-2 year horizon, would you recommend ETFs or individual stocks (or both), and what would be your top 3-5 picks at this time? Thanks! Lois

Q: I asked a question a few days ago but it must have been lost since it was not answered so I will re-ask. By reading responses to other questions I get the sense that Canaccord Genuity continues to be a good undervalued company; however, nothing may happen with my investment for several more years. The positives are price to book, good cash position, and a sustainable dividend if the company so wishes. The major negative could be several years with little or no growth due to the state of the Canadian Resource industry. If my statements are correct, should I sell my shares of CF and buy something else with greater growth potential over the medium to long term. If so do you have a recommendation understanding that I am overweight in resources and banks. Alternatively, with CF's low current price and good dividend should I buy more. Also do you continue to view CF as a B-. In my RRSP, CF only constitutes about 3%. Thank you very much.
