Q: I purchased this for my RRSP last June at a cost of $9.00 on the recommendation from a guest pick on BNN, well before I became a member of 5I. It represents 2% currently of my RRSP, however I do have other holdings cpg,ipl,cnq,wcp.
I have reviewed your comments today, on bxe, and with Orange capital at 14.7% and Seth A. at 11.38% or in excess of 26% between the two, I am wondering if I should seriously consider doubling down to average my cost.
What are your thoughts and or suggestions.
Thanks and you have an awesome service.
On a side bar wish I could "star" some of your comments for later review

Q: Hello Peter & Team,
I think it is important to classify holdings by segment because holdings in the same segment respond to the same drivers; this in turn gives us an additional picture of our exposure to a segment.
Let's agree on the following 11 segments: consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrials, info tech, materials, real estate, telecoms, utilities.
How would you classify CCL Industries, CNR (transport), Stantec (engineering), Alimentation Couche Tard, Dollarama, Boyd Income Group, Cineplex, First Service, Altagas (utilities or energy), Clearwater Seafoods, MTY Foods, Badger Daylighting, Progressive Waste.
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: I made an error and have both Ford and GM in an RSP. I would like to sell one or both to free up some US cash. Each would incur a small loss.

Which one of Ford or GM would you sell? Perhaps both? In the alternate would you simply reduce each one and keep some of each? (The only other industry exposure I have is a small position in Martinrea)

Q: Good morning,

I read an article in the Toronto Star this morning regarding the expected strong growth in robotics (manufacturing etc.) over the next 10 years .Quoting the article, growth quadrupling by year 2025.

Can you please provide two or three of your best ideas in this space from a best risk/reward perspective(either US or Canadian) that would stand to profit the most if these projections come close to fruition.

Thanks
Tom

Q: I read in the Intelligent Investor that one good measure of a stock valuation is to multiple the PE ratio with the PB ratio. If the result is under 24, that's good. Canadian banks currently fall under that threshold. However, Glusheff is far above that threshold (PE = 12, PB = 6.6). (1) Do you like this measure (2) Does it apply to most stocks, even money managers? (3) Could educate me on how you use the PB ratio in your evaluation?
