Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter,
I hold shares in Transalta Corp. (TA). I have had it for many years and has always been a solid, good dividend paying company. Now I see it is have difficulties. Would you recommend it as a long term hold or do you think it has had its day and I should cut my losses and move on?

Q: Hi Peter,

Do you have a short and long term view on NKO resources. Do you think the current price is a good entry point for long term hold? What would be a reasonable target on this stock? Thanks

Q: Peter, your thoughts please on JFS - is it a buy sell or hold. Thank you.

Q: Thank-you for this excellent service you're providing. I look forward to renewing in January. My question is on ALB. Any dividend increases were supposed to be applied to these capital shares, but the math doesn't add up - or at least I don't see where the dividends have moved up substantially. I understand now that these types of split corps (on the capital share side) are not the best investment. While I've held them since before the meltdown, I would have thought that with the many dividend increases in the last year, that ALB would have moved far more than it has. Would you continue to be a holder? Thanks in advance...

Q: Could I get your thoughts on RIM today Peter.Is there a chance that it will continue on its own and perhaps recover if they finaly get the new operating system out.Or is it just too little too late.

Q: Any thoughts on the Amaya acquisition??

Q: Would appreciate your investment view on Bell Alliant (BA) and the safety of its dividend. Thanks

Q: Hi Peter... is there anyway to be notified by email when a new research report is published as opposed to having to log into the website each day?

Q: Peter,
it's been a wonderful 12 months for Biosyent Symbol Rx, what a chart. From an all time high of $1.40 recently, following their most recent quarterly report, it has pulled back to close to $1, would you see this as a buying opportunity,
regards Lawrence

Q: Will appreciate your thoughts on Silver Wheaton ( SLW ). Thanks

Q: Great Site Peter! What are your thoughts on Detour Gold (DGC)? The price has been going up closing at $27.21 today. Would you expect a pullback from this price prior to production which is so far on schedule to begin Q1 2013?

Thx for your comments

Q: Have you ever looked at Canadian Lithium CLQ-T. Commissioning of plant expected before year end with Lithium production expected first quarter 2013 and a very strong lithium market.
Your thoughts on this Canadian play. Luv your site.

Q: Hi Peter and team, I would like your opinion on EXC, exelon corp on the NYSE. I see it is down a lot in the last year, would it be a buy at this level ? And would the dividend be sustainable in a scenario of low electricity prices during 2 or 3 more years ? Thank you !!

Q: Hi Peter, Can you re-visit Labrador Iron Mines please (LIM)?
I see you made a comment on May 25. It looks interesting here at $1.20, they are a producer, don't seem to have any debt although hit hard from a rapid decline in iron ore prices. Cash balances are getting low around $10 mill ( I have been told although most recent financials show $22 mill although that was end of June). They have postponed planned capex and have recently scaled back planned production for the balance of 2012 to conserve cash. I guess this is a play on iron ore prices?? If iron ore recovers over the next few months this would have proved a great entry point, if iron ore prices remain soft for a few quarters this company may be in trouble. Any thoughts/opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter
Was wondering if your thoughts on ARE have changed since May? Keep up the good work.

Q: Hi Peter,
I just became a member of 5i today. Earlier this morning I found a chart of many companies that contained "current" and suggested "buy" prices. I can't seem to find it again. How do I find the information on your site?

Q: hi, new member, great site, great info. What are your views on Pollard Banknote (PBL). They seem to be on a roll contract wise. Good dividend. Tightly held by founding family. Thx for your thoughts

Q: Hi Peter, I've had 500 shares of Gran Tierra "GTE" since 2009 and my break even is about $5.00 it's gone as high as 6.50 in the past year and seems to be falling back down I was thinking of selling and buying some "CPG" with the same cash it would mean less shares, what's your view on that? Thanks, Nick

Q: Peter,

I recently bought GQC but today it has been hammered pretty bad. Do you think I should add more, sell and take a loss or do nothing. Thanks

Q: Would appreciate comments on the new acquisition by Amaya announced this morning. Many thanks.
