Q: While I understand that you really like Stantec(STN), the market has been driving the shares down recently. Because your report on Stantec is somewhat dated could you please provide an analysis on the company in terms of earnings per share for the next 1-2 years, revenue growth, share valuation relative to historical trends, etc. What future catalysts do you see as influencing future share prices. Is there potential for the shares to continue downward to the $54 area where they were trading last October. At that price, they would be trading at about 15 times this year's expected earnings. What is a reasonable valuation for the company shares? As a secondary question how often do you anticipate updating company reports? Thanks.

Q: Another TFSA VS RiF question: I take out the mandated % of my RiF. Does it make sense to take out even more and invest those dollars inside our TFSA's because of the no tax on TFSA withdrawals? Or even take out RSP funds from my wife's account and invest those inside her TFSA?
My logic is - for example SGY - I expect it to grow and provide a nice dividend in the years ahead neither of which would be taxed when/if I withdraw those $ from one of our TFSA's.
Thank you. (What a difference 5i is making the lives of so many people!)

Q: Hello Peter et al....What do you think about oil and gas companies...such as TBE, RPL, AFT.UN, SGL, TDG, WCP that bill themselves as: Sustainable Dividend Income with Moderate Growth Companies? Their yield varies between 4 and 8%. They look like the former income trusts except they seem to be extracting the product from lands where the minerals rights are owned privately rather than by the Crown. I would appreciate your views on such firms. Are they worth further attention? Can they withstand a downturn in commodity prices?
Q: Hi,
I purchased PLI at .87 and am currently up, but it's a bit of a wild ride. Would your recommendation be to sell while it's up?

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: The market appears to be punishing Argonaut (AR), for its most recently reported results, with new 52-week lows. The other gold companies that I view as potential holdings are all up substantially from their lows and gold is up over $100 an ounce from its bottom (though all have retreated some from their most recent peaks). I’m very light on golds and looking to start taking my weighting up with a basket of 4 or 5 holdings. What do you think of adding some AR at the current level? Thanks.

Q: Hi,
Regarding BYD.DB, can you explain in some detail how this security will behave? Since it is trading well above its conversion price, my understanding is that its delta should be close to 100% of BYD.UN, but it will have 5.75% interest payments instead of the ~1.35% distribution? Does this not make it more attractive than holding BYD.UN? Can you also put into simple language the redemption features?
"On and after December 31, 2015 but prior to December 31, 2016, the Debentures may be redeemed by the Fund, in whole or in part from time to time, at the option of the Fund, at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the Redemption Date (as defined herein), on not more than 60 days' and not less than 30 days' prior written notice, provided that the volume weighted average trading price of the Units on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading day immediately preceding the date on which notice of redemption is given is not less than 125% of the Conversion Price. On and after December 31, 2016 but prior to the Maturity Date, the Debentures may be redeemed by the Fund, in whole or in part from time to time at the option of the Fund, at a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but excluding the Redemption Date, on not more than 60 days' and not less than 30 days' prior written notice. The Debentures may also be redeemed by the Fund in the event of the satisfaction of certain conditions after a Change of Control (as defined herein) has occurred. See “Description of Securities Being Distributed - Offer Upon Change of Control”.
