Q: According to the charts in TD Broker, the PE multiple on this stock has doubled over the last 5 years(give or take) and the stock price has moved from $40 to $500. Do you think the value is too high even with the probability of more acquisitions? Do you find PE an important component to consider in a growth stock like this one? If so how important? Thank you

Q: Further to Larry's question on Hack, it appears Pure Funds only has 2 very unique funds at this time (albeit with plans to add more). Should one be wary of investing in a new fund provider, especially one offering a non traditional product line-up. I like the idea of the Hack fund but am somewhat wary of Pure Funds unless they have a proven prior track record in the industry? How much of a concern should this be?

Q: 5i often notes the % of equity held by insiders. What service do you use to obtain this information? If the answer is Bloomberg, can you suggest another solution, perhaps more accessible to your subscriber base, many of whom probably don't have access to its subscription service? Please provide options for Canadian, and US-listed equities, if you're able. Thanks for your continued fantastic work. Perhaps use Dorel Industries as an example?

Q: Peter; CXI sold a block of insider shares ( 159,000) to a institutional entity. Obviously because of the thin trading history - but would this indicate that somtime they will have to do a equity issue to put some liquidity in the stock. Do you have any idea who the buyer might be? Thanks.Rod

Q: Most (if not all) North American rail companies have pulled back in recent months, some are down ~20% from 2015 highs. Is this a good entry point for UNP.us? If you have a better suggestion [ CSX, NSC or other] I would appreciate your input. I would prefer a Canadian railway , but only if you think its future prospects are favorably comparable to one of the US ones. Thanks
UNP got my attention because of its rail connections with fast-growing Mexico.

Q: I have used this as a trading range stock. I have owned and sold it 4 times over the past few years usually between $40 and $46.I was slow out the gate this time with the Shaw AWS and Mobilicity deals happening before I pulled the trigger. Given the jump from 41.50 to its current 43.60, do you think the price is fully reflecting the deals now or that it still has room to run? I have been quite pleased with my decision to try 5I. After 30 years of investing and listening to generic answers its quite refreshing. (SO DO NOT TELL ME NOT TO BUY TELCO'S AND TO PUT ALL MY MONEY INTO MANULIFE)I HEAR THAT 20 TIMES A WEEK ON BNN

Q: Good afternoon. My portfolio is lacking terribly in the Industrial sector Large Caps. All I have is CNR 2.5% and a little bit of SNC (below 1%).
I am planning to fill the gap with Balanced Equity Portfolio picks. WSP 5% and MDA 4%. Will they count towards Large Cap allocation? Or are they mid-cap? In that case, what would you advise?
I could complete the sector with Small Cap buys from the Growth Portfolio: AVO 5%, LMP 3%, PUR 3% and XTC 5%. [all 5i %ages].
Thanks so much. sarah

Q: Hello Peter,
I still hold shares of PHM, and would like to add to the position; however, I am concerned that CEO, M. Dalsin is spreading his ideas across 3 companies: Patient home, convalo health, and Inspira (which supposedly will trade end of June) and is not focused one company. I am concerned that he will not be as focused on patient home, but also see the reasons for the other two: perhaps cross sells, etc Any comments please. I have not seen much news on why CRH medical continues to move upwards. Is there any news that you are aware of? Also, other than having a nasdaq listing, is there a reason for Concordia Healthcare's price movement? Many thanks for your advice.
