Q: Hi 5i team,

I think now would be a time to high grade my energy and real estate stocks.

In energy I have CPG, WCP, SGY, TOU and SCL. The "winner" in this group is WCP; the biggest loss is in SGY. [Plus I have PPL, ENB and IPL which you consider as utilities; all in very positive territory.] Which stocks would you remove? What would you do to high grade this mixture?

In the real estate sector I have XRE, AX.UN, DRG.UN and TCN. I was considering selling one or both of AX.UN and DRG.UN, and adding to TCN. What would you do to high grade this mixture?

Thanks for your insight,
Paul J

Q: Just saw the Q2 earnings. Q2 top line looks a little light and adj EPS of $1.20 looks to be a big miss vs estimate $1.57 (I saw your response to a question on July 20 where you mentioned $1.57 estimated EPS). ROE looks to be back in the mid teens after the blip last year due to the lawsuit settlement which seems to be a good sign (if i calculated correctly). Your thoughts on the earnings?

Q: Appears to be a considerable amount of back handers are going with this company. You seem to always look at it from the latest financials and make a recommendation from that perspective. I guess my question is: when does one stop going by financials and make a decision on gut feel? Let's not forget guys like Bernie Madoff!! Do you guys always got by reported numbers or do you sometimes read between the lines and go by instinct? Just curious.

Q: Good morning,
I thought I submitted this yesterday, perhaps I didn't.
My question is about Slate Retail REIT, you commented on it last year saying it was early for this one. I'd appreciate your current views on this company? In this environment the USD revenue coming home looks attractive, as well as the dividend. Your thoughts? Thanks so much, Rod

Q: Hello Peter,
Looking at your reply on July 14 regarding Aliment Couche Tard, the company did miss on revenues and adjusted earnings, yet the stock held up fine. Constellation software has done exceptionally well; however, they had a slight miss on revenues and earnings. Can you shed light as to why investors may forgive one company but yet punish another when both are considered very solid companies (CSU is down 5 percent or so on the earnings release). Thanks

Q: For the sake of calming fellows here invested in HomeCapital. Items from the conference call going on right now:
1- Only 45 brokers out of 4000 falsified information
2- Only income was falsified, not the credit or property value
3- Nobody inside the company was involved with the 'trickery'
4- An anonymous letter was sent to the board to warn them. Investigation began as soon as the letter.
5- They don't anticipate higher losses from those mortgages
