Q: Hi Peter,

Being a retired person looking for safe dividends I have full positions in The Royal Bank, TD and Bank of Nova Scotia. I was wondering about doubling my BNS shares.

My thinking is that the dividend is safe and BNS will probably continue to be around a long time from now and the price I am paying for the shares seem to be cheaper than most other businesses at approximately 11 times earnings. Where for example to buy Telus is approximately 18 times earnings.

(as an FYI, I also have Railroads, utility's, pipelines, telecoms,oil, gold, reits, Life co's)

Warren Buffet says to buy things that are on Sale.

Just wondering what your opinion would be on this thought.

Thank you,
Charlie

Q: Hi Peter,

Can I get your opinion on the $1.16-billion offer to acquire French aluminum components maker Montupet SA in a deal that expands Linamar’s global reach and customer base. The market doesn't seem to like it because the stock is down today.

Correct me if I'm wrong but LNR earnings are growing +30% yoy yet the valuation is only 10x 2015 estimates. I know the market is full of fear but this stock screams bargain to a GARP investor like Peter Lynch.

Q: Hi,

I am thinking of buying either TD or BNS for my RRSP to buy and hold. I saw that you recommended BNS on BNN the other day so I assume you like it more than TD. Can you briefly tell me why and how the two compare on a valuation basis. I like TD for the US exposure.

Thank you!

Q: In Donville's most recent ROE reporter, he notes that he remains committed to Concordia. He says this:

"...at current valuations, I think the company is
worth a lot more than $50 a share. On our numbers, CXR trades on 4.8x 2016 Cash Earnings and 1.1x BVPS, while earning a 24% ROE."

Are these valuations in line with 5i's research, including the AmCo (Amphidarm) deal?

Q: Hi, Peter and Co.
In view of a significant AND constant increase of supply of Natural gas worldwide, how would you characterize the future of PSk.
I own a small/medium position and back to same as last year. Notwithstanding the dividend, not very optimistic as to it's future growth prospect.
You may have a different opinion, thanks for sharing,
Claude

Q: Hi 5i,

How do you feel about CRH at current levels? I like the company as it generates real FCF (1-2M per month), but I am concerned that their could be a structural shift outside of healthcare as companies continue to blow up (e.g. PHM, CXR, VRX, NHC).

Would you recommend CRH as a pick in the junior healthcare space? Do you think it will play catch up and drop down to its peers performance? Seems to be holding here at the 4 dollar level.

Thanks in advance.
