Q: PHM just released the statement - PHM Unaware of Any Material Change

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA--(Marketwired - Jul 29, 2015) - Patient Home Monitoring Corp. ("PHM") (TSX VENTURE:PHM), a fast growing and profitable company focused on rolling-up annuity-based healthcare service companies in the US and Canada, at the request of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC), wishes to confirm that its management is unaware of any material change in PHM's operations that would account for the recent decrease in its stock price.

Hopefully, it will calm down the market a bit. Publish if it help 5i members.

Q: Would you recommend buying into more PHM at this point? I bought a half postion at $1.50. From the comments you've made so far it seems that you're still confident in PHM, and that the massive drop in share price the past week is unwarranted. If that's the case this could be a good buying opportunity in a panicked market.

Q: I own too much and it is still falling... at 80 cents now. I just don't understand why that call would cause a 50% drop... it wasn't that bad IMHO. Is something else going on? Should I sell?

Q: A family member asked for some advice on what to do with sinking shares of Cenovus, in order to preserve capital, after a 50% loss. In the medium term, I thought it might be safe to park the money in Boralex, BLX, with no excessive volatility, and a decent yield, and showing some signs of growth. He would like to recapture some of its losses, since this is within an RSP. Something relatively "safe" but still growing. What are your thoughts? Would this be a wise choice? Any other suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you, as always.

Q: I sold my position on ENB (made a 17% profit)and purchased half positions in Fiera and Ag Growth..I plan to repurchase ENB after the utilities and commodities sector improves. Because my thinking was FSZ and Ag have more chance of growing in the short term of the next 1 to two years. Do you agree with this approach?

Q: Hi Peter,

After reaching a new high several weeks ago, Boyd seems to be dropping quite steadily including today. I would expect that they would benefit from growing operations in the us but is this a general reaction to everything paying a dividend or did I miss some report or analyst downgrade on the stock.

Thanks
