Q: Is "Pick and Pay" for cable subscribers positive, negative or neutral for DHX? What is the short position on the stock? Also do you still see Amaya as an acquisition target by larger competitors as in the April report, or is it the big fish now? What would be the next milestone in its growth plan to watch for, perhaps a legalization in a large Democratic state with the skids greased by Gen. Wesley K. Clark, Independent Director; also what is the short position? Thanks, J.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I hold DHX Media. It is now trading at over 80 times forward earnings and that worries me a bit; what is your take on this stock that seems to be the "Canadian darling".

Q: Precision Drilling (PD) and Painted Pony Petroleum (PPY) have fallen in price over the last week (5% and 10%), I assume this is due to the fall in oil prices. I realize that they work the oil industry and so should be sensitive to that, but I'm surprised that the stocks went down that much considering many analysts have buy recommendations and much higher targets (usually that keeps a floor on the stock). Could you comment on this? Thank you.

Q: Hi, what is your opinion on the railroads CNR and CP? The returns have been phenomenal. What is your opinion on their valuation and future growth? They always seem fairly valued or expensive but that is what I thought a couple years ago and they have doubled again since.Have you considered for your portfolio? Thanks.

Q: Hi team. My AYA is now 10.5% of my 3 PFs which as a whole are very well balanced thanks to you. I had doubled up when I saw good news. The first buy is placed in my TFSA and the double up in my non Registered. I am in a low tax bracket. Do you feel this present rise in price is just a flare up so to speak? Would it be a good idea to trim some shares? Or should I wait until after Friday (TSX info)? thanks so much once again. I am up 48% in my entire TFSA since April of this year because of you all..

Q: 5i Team,

Amaya Gaming continues to be absolutely on fire. It seems to be rising aggressively lately and the only driver I can think of is people trying to get in ahead of indexers or ahead of their new listing (I believe they will be listed on London?).

Your thoughts on AYA here and its valuation and why its moving would be appreciated!

Q: I hope Peter is doing well on the ride.
I am 61 and need to get more conservative. What are your thoughts on iShares XHY, CBO, CPD and XBB. I see XHY is in your income portfolio but it pays about 6% yet it price varies more than that over 52 weeks.

Should my full service broker charge me fees to buy iShares?
