Q: What are your thoughts on Black Diamond as a dividend/long term investment. They are down a great deal due to oil. Also ROE and ROIC has gone down the last few years (usually not a good sign).

Would it be a good time to buy? Is the dividend sustainable?

Q: Currently I have the following mix of Brookfield stocks: BAM 2.8%; BIP 3.6% and BEP 4.4%. This means that these Brookfield shares comprise 10.8% of my portfolio. Are these 3 companies diverse enough that I should keep them at these levels? When they are compared on a 3 year chart they appear to be very different.

Q: Hi Peter and the team, ABT is showing strength today as it's up a bit over 9%. Is this due to the deal signed between Absolute and AMD (the chip maker)? I'm not complaining, as ABT has been quite a laggard lately. What are your thoughts and/or recommendations going forward? Thanks in advance as always for the timely and valuable advice.

Q: RCPT (RECEPTOS) has an offer to purchase from Celgene (via Strix .. a subsidiary of Celgene).
RCPT is trading at $231.46 and the offer from Celgene is for $232.00 net to the holder in cash without interest (the offer price) and subject to any withholding taxes required by applicable law.
1 .. Is the offer a good one as some think it's very low?
2 .. How do I find out about the withholding taxes (as I understand sometimes there's a dividend that can take a big bite from profits)?
3 .. Would I do better just to hold the RCPT stock and sell it myself?

Q: My wife and I currently still own these energy and resource stocks: FRU, PD, IPL, ENB, PPL, SGY, BTE, CEU & TCK.b - 12.12% of our total portfolio.
Your opinion on whether to sell some/all(names), keep some/all(names) for recovery and with any sells to reinvest in sectors doing better like domestic consumer staples, et. or just sit in cash until the market settles a bit?
Thank you.
George

Q: Hello Team,
the stock has been in significant downfall, from $19 to$5, yet the financial statements appear acceptable. P/E ratio now stands at 5. I have a position in the stock and wonder whether manipulative action influences the trend(short sellers). Seeking Alpha had a scathing report on the company. What is your opinion? Hold or sell?
Your input is valuable!
