Q: Hello Team,
Last week, I caught the last minutes of an interview on BNN with PTS's CEO (Points International) and was intrigued. When I read the MD&A in the company's 2012 Annual Report, I just couldn't get clear understanding of how the company makes money, other than it has three revenue streams. Beyond that, it was complete jargon. Can you tell me in your own words how it generates its revenue and how you see its future? Thanks for the fabulous service you provide.

Q: In your response to Graham re Badger you suggested one stock should not exceed 10% of the portfolio. Is that 10% of the equity portion or 10% of the total portfolio including income securities { bonds } and cash? Thank you.

Q: Hi, I originally had 1500 shares of Badger. Sold 500 and paid for my investment. With the 1000, I now have 3000 with the split. It has 'fortunately' given me a heavy weighting with this company. You seem to keep recommending it and I continue to like it even though it does tend to swing my investments when it has good and bad days. My dilemma....at what point does a 'balanced' portfolio outway selling a good stock!

Cheers,
Graham

Q: hello 5i:
some time ago (2013) you suggested that companies such as PD and TCW were on equal footings with NOV. My personal research shows that NOV is very undervalued now(50%ish). Can you comment on NOV and can you suggest Canadian companies that could provide at least as much value, at present valuations.
thanks

Q: Hi. I'm a new comer to your service. I love it so far. I have a question regarding your summary list. I am wondering if this is a list of stocks that are okay to buy or, is it the list of the stock universe that you cover and not all of them necessarily represent the best ideas to buy at this time?

Q: What is your view of Just Energy? Jim Pattison and Ron Joyce have been accumulating shares. Although the Dividend is high it seems to have a low P/E, reasonable EBITDA, although the EBIT margin is low, and the current ratio seems in the ball park for comparable stocks. What would they potentially coming down the pike that would enhance the value?
