Q: I watched BNN at noon and the guest visitor expressed the opinion that the oil and gas sectors are going to be staying flat or down for the foreseeable (my wording) future. What is your opinion on this? Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi Peter and team

Could you give me an opinion on Exchange Information Corporation. I have held this for some time and I am still in a net gain position. However my gains are eroding. The recent results look ok to me except that they seem to be over distributing more than their cash flow. The down trend looks to be continuing. Thanks

Ross

Q: I thank Peter and all the folks at 5i for your insight and advice on investing matters. I'm coming up to my renewal date and will definitely be renewing!
I have a position (approx 10% / $10k) in Automodular (AM), on the basis (among other things) of their diversification plans into non-automotive i.e. wind energy.
On May 13 you mentioned in response to another member's question the end of AM's wind contract.
What would be the source of that information? Where, other than chance hearing it from you, would an investor learn of such developments?
If AM are planning on or in danger of "getting out of" the non-automotive business, it would be time for me to rethink my investment in AM.

Q: Just Energy continues to drop like a rock, and it's technicals (none of which I understand) are also gloomy. Their year-end results come out this Thursday, and if it's a negative report, I presume it's price will drop even more. How safe is their dividend, and how safe is this company as a whole? Sell, or hold on? Many thanks for this great service. John.

Q: AFN-seems real expensive on a PE and CF basis, huge debt and high pay-out ratio. Pays .20 per mth -way more than it makes and in a lot of different agra businesses; but, do they have the concentration to give them pricing power. I was thinking of buying0-but, metrics look stretched to say the least.

Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
Presently I own shares of Algoma Central (ALC- TSX) which I purchased back in 2010. The shares have nearly doubled from my original purchase price. ALC is effectively controlled by the Jackman Family through EL Financial. I have been looking to switch out of part (or all) of ALC into Contrans Group. (better yield, better growth, family may sell) You mentioned on BNN that the family that owns a large stake in Contrans Group may sell out. I do not think that the Jackman family will sell their stake in ALC in either the short or medium term. I would appreciate your opinion of the above switch. Thank you. DL

Q: Peter and Team,

Can you post the definition to "Averaging Down" ? I often set myself up so that I gradually get into positions by, say, starting with a postion in a stock that is 2-3% of the portfolio and work my way up to 5%. If one does this and tries to make the second, third, etc. purchases on dips does this mean you are averaging down or simply staging entry?

I always understood averaging down to be defined as taking full portfolio position and then buying more if the stock goes down meaning if it returned to the original purchase cost it would now be more than 5%.

This is probably a confusing note, but I think there is confusion on the meaning of this term.
