Q: I bought this stock for safety waiting for oil to stabilize so I could get back in. I am even incl. the dividend - so, treading water so to speak. According to my trading site CIBC IE they never seem to publish Q EPS? I know they are expanding in the USA - so, probably incr. costs and no special dividends this year - has been a common practice. Any info you could give me on this co. would be appreciated. Trying to decide whether to keep as a diversifier or sell?

Q: Doing some research I have become quite impressed with the Mawer group of funds. For the most part they have done very well versus the indexes both in Canada, the U.S. and world. I have reviewed Maw, 102,108,120,150,106,130,104 and 105.

What is your opinion of Mawer ? Any things to watch out for.

Many thanks

Paul
