Q: Hello, my question is regarding Constantine Metal Res (CEM).i realize it is a highly speculative play. but having said that it appears to be in an envious situation that many juniors would die for. and that is its JV with Dowa Metals & Mining. CEM has the Palmer VMS project and it appears to have a ton a upside exploration potential.could i have your opinion on CEM as a speculative play on the looming zinc shortage. management for CEM seem to be very well qualified and cost conscious, and with regards to Dowa's management they seem very astute and they specialize in Palmer type scenarios.
can i have your opinion on CEM, likes and dislikes, with their JV they should easily survive the next 3 years but i guess its possible that Dowa can pull out . thanx norm

Q: Hi, there are headlines again today about forecast poor demand for oil in 2015. Do you see the next year as a period of protacted pain for Oil stocks, with the best strategy to hold off for a while in buying the sector? Or do you see the headlines as an opportunity to "buy at the time of maximum pessimism", with the best strategy to start buying now and in the next month or two during tax loss season?

Q: Hello - I have the opportunity to pick up a position in this energy IPO. I am conflicted as I think the US dollar will continue to hurt energy companies for the foreseeable future. To offset my bearish view I understand the IPO issue price has been lowered, the secondary offering has been eliminated, and a good chunk will continue to be held by the private issuers.

Would you be able to confirm this information. As a retail investor, I find some IPO information difficult to validate. I seem to always be the last to know.

Would you also provide your thoughts on this IPO.

Keep up the great work. Mike

Q: 4:01 PM 25/10/2014
Hello Peter
I am interested in Parkland Industries PKI. They recently bought Pioneer and I wonder what they actually bought. Did they get freehold ownership of all the gas stations? Do they own all the convenience stores? Are the Convenience stores run by contractors? What do you think of the potential of this aquisition looking ahead a few years? I wonder why Alimentation Couche Tard didn't buy Pioneer as it would seem to fit their model. Did Parkland just get lucky? And finally what do you think of Parkland as a long term investment for both growth and dividend?
Thank you Paul K

Q: Could I have your opinion on this US mobile payments company.

Q: Hi team:
I owned the above and my US exposure is relatively low as most of my equity is in the Canadian market
I would like to add the above as I have some cash
Would you say that it is safe to put 1/3 of my money in and wait for another 2 months to add another 1/ to see how the market would be ?
I am holding it for 3-5 years period, thanks Team!

Q: I am considering buying BDI,bot do you think I should wait till the end of tax loss season?
Also why would I buy BDI instead of WEQ ? and if the oil prices stay low would BDI get hurt badly with the whole sector?

Q: Hi 5i team,
I have 11% of my portfolio in REITs and real estate stocks and these are CUF.UN (7%), FCR (2%) and HR.UN (2%). I am wondering whether I should reduce CUF.UN to 5% and buy something else in this sector? CUF.UN seems to underperform other real estate stocks but I really cannot find anything wrong with this company - reasonable debt, low P/E, high dividend... Am I missing something negative WRT CUF.UN? I have no problem holding the stock for 2-3 year term as long as dividend is safe and the company remains profitable. So here are my questions summarized:
1. Is there anything wrong with CUF.UN fundamentals and expectations?
2. Do you suggest to (a) reduce (b) liquidate my CUF.UN holdings?
3. If the answer to previous question is "yes" where would you reinvest in this or similar sector?

Thanks a lot! You are absolutely the best investment service I encountered in my 20+ years of investing.

Q: I am up about 1% on MA and 7% on Visa. Am wondering what your opinion is on the growth of these two companies this next year compared to the Canadian banks. Am thinking of swapping them out.
Value your opinion. Peter

Q: Than you for your continual great investment and educational advice and responses.

My question relates to the future building of LNG plants in BC. Although this might be many years away before building actually begins, are you able to identify any companies that may be in a position to benefit from the construction aspect at this time. Given that there is very special need for very specific types of either construction or manufacture of specific types of infrastructure for these plants, I would think that there may be a limited amount of companies that could provide the product or the expertise.

Any thoughts you may have for this potential long term investment would be appreciated.
