Q: This is about stock screeners. I haven't found free online screeners to be reliable; I am reluctant to use them. I have an account with TD Waterhouse; I am uncertain about that screener to0. My conclusion is that if you want a good screener, you have to pay for it. For US stocks, stockscreener123 appears to be a good choice. Any suggestions with regards to screeners for Canadian stocks? Any comments on stock screeners in general?

Q: I think orbit will be sold (Rio Tinto/Veolia?). Their process is legit but they will have to dilute extensively to reach break even, while if they sell (2.53/3?) they will get the best of what today's money can buy.
Your opinion will be as usual most appreciated,
CDJ

Q: This is about limit orders. As long as the bid ask spread is less than 2%, I place a limit order at the ask price. Sometimes, I only get a partial fill. What is the best strategy after that? Should I just wait until the order is filled? If so, how long should I wait? One hour? One day? One week?

I have wondered whether I should cancel a limit order after a partial fill. The market maker and others with access to such information know my order, and can use that to their advantage. Would I be better off cancelling the order and resubmitting with another limit order?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
Thanks for all the helpful information and we renewed our membership.
We recently purchased shares of Intact Financial [IFC] and yesterday the share price dropped over 3%. We couldn't find any reason for this. All the news say that the company have good earnings and have increased their dividend. Is this just profit taking ? Your comments would be very helpful. thanks again.

Q: Hi Peter
I have read a few of your replies pertaining to business news sources and accuracy etc... and I get the impression that you feel that once it hits the G&M the news is old news.
I am currently using Globe Investor Gold / TD Waterhouse and enjoy them but I am wondering if there is something better out there (even if there is a cost).
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Joe

Q: Hello Peter.
Great Canadian Gaming (GC) has announced agreements in principal with regards to Georgian Downs and I see this as a positive. However it looks like renewal terms may not be as lucrative as before. Combine this affect on projected decline on EBITA but re-evaluation of writedown of this asset and now I am confused.
Is this going in an ok direction and how significant /material are these recent news releases.?
Thanks John
