Q: Hi Peter and Co,

Market didn't seem to like RBC's decision to buy City National today, as it's down roughly 2% while the other banks are up. I haven't read any negative press on this deal from the analysts, so was wondering what your take on this was.

thx.

Q: Hi 5i team,

Could I get your updated view on TPL in light of the lower oil prices?

Q: Hi 5i team!

With $47 oil would you know what SGY's approx. net back is? I know it was disclosed in the recent quarterly release at much higher oil prices, but the royalty rate also fluctuates. I am looking to go overweight in my portfolio with SGY and am willing to be patient with low oil prices for 2 to 3 years, but I am wondering SGY's "going concern" (risk of bankruptcy) with prolonged low oil prices. From my perspective if SGY is still making money at $30 oil when their hedges roll off then the long term investment should pay off?

Thanks for the advice and looking forward to the 5i Conference!
Angelo

Q: Further to Claudette's question on DRT; Mr. Nutall said the the company had a 25% organic growth. How is that possible when its PEG ratio is less than one? Is there some other metric that provides an answer? We often hear on BNN that organic growth is very positive for stock price appreciation.

Q: Most recent question and response on this company was July 2014. I wonder if your opinion is much the same as at that time, or do you see an improvement; or perhaps a falling off since then or in the cards for a bit later. Importantly, do you see the dividend which is north of 10% as safe. Thank you very much for all you do

I have 7% gain on my holdings of MOS(+ US$ gain). Does it make sense to sell it and buy AGU or POT in Canadian $ ?
Thank you always!

Q: I know that you like Stantec as a good, solid performer. I own both Stantec and WSP Global, 4% each. My other holding in industrials is CNR, at 8%. (it's grown nicely and am loathe to part with it yet.) My question is: how do you think Industrials will perform in this environment. Seems like Stantec has been taking a rest for a while. I was thinking of switching Stantec for CGI group, which would increase my holdings in Technology to about 19%. I'm looking for a good company with a bit more "ooomph" in it right now, regardless of sector, but CGI's growth appeals to me. Your comments are always valued.

Q: Hello Peter and the 5i Team,

My wife's TFSA consists of AP.UN, DH, and KBL. There's also a small amount of CDZ where accumulated cash is deposited. Both AP.UN and DH are enrolled in DRIP's. For this year's contribution, we are considering either CXI or DHX.B. Given that DHX Media pays a small dividend and has a DRIP that gives a 3% discount, but CXI 'might' have higher growth (with no dividend) which stock would you think would be the best for this year?

Q: BCE and BAM have been going up lately. I am up quite a bit on both. The PE of BCE is quite high. Do you think it is time to trim it and pick it up when it goes down or use the proceeds to buy Rogers? What would your view be on Brookfield Asset Management. Thanks very much.

Q: Hi Team
Could you recommend two good growth companies, suitable to a TFSA, that will benefit from the weak loonie and a recovering U.S. economy.

Thank You
