Q: Hi Peter and 5i. Starbucks(SBUX) just lost an arbitration ruling and has to pay Kraft $2.7 Billion. I've been waiting to buy SBUX (for a long term hold) on a pullback, which is likely to happen from this ruling. Do you think this is a good opportunity at this time or could there be additional long term implications from this ruling? Thanks!

Q: ISign Media ($0.22) (ISD.V) is a tiny venture Co with an interesting data collecting and advertising model. Its share price doubled in the last 3 days on the news of private placement at $0.30 with warrant at $0.45 and another contract for installation of their data collecting antennas.

Here is a quote (Co PR):...Until the recent announcement by Apple of iBeacon and its latest iOS7 introduction, iSIGN has been virtually alone for the past five years in promoting Bluetooth® proximity broadcasting to mobile devices while capturing people's responses, with its original Bluetooth® IMS device, followed by its Smart Antenna with both Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi capabilities and recently announced Smart Player. Apple's announcement has led to an instant appreciation and mass awareness of Bluetooth® technology...

Do you feel this Co is worth a closer look?
Thank you

Q: What are your criteria when you consider a stock is expensive versus cheap?

- Or do you compare the company P/E to its industry peers (i.e.: Financials, Tech, Consumer Staples, Oil/Gas, etc.)?
- Or do you compare the company P/E ratio to the company growth rate (Revenue, Earnings/share, Cash flow) from the previous year's quarter?
- Or something else?

Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i,
Would a LIRA account have the same general tax rules as a RRSP (especially with regard to the dividend tax credit and withholding tax on US dividend) ? Based on my research it appears to be the case but I was looking for confirmation. Any advice or comments would be appreciated. Thank you.
