Q: Hey, Peter.

I'm thinking about starting a position in National Bank (NA). It looks like it is by far the "cheapest" of the Canadian banks. I see that it is expected to make $8.61 per share in 2014. It is unrealistic to expect it to trade at a 9.5 2014 p/e multiple giving it a rough share price of $81.80 (representing a 10%+ capital gain)?

Q: Hi peter,
I am interested in investing in infrastructure development plays. I know your research is high on STN, however I find SNC is off its highs due to their current issues. I hesitate to purchase something near highs. Where would you put fresh cash today? I also looked at foster wheehler in the US as a value purchase. Thank you.

Q: I owned some Berkshire Hathaway B shares some years ago and sold when the stock split. Made a good profit on that trade.The stock has traded in a very narrow range afterwards but seems to be on the move again. Would this be a good time to be buying?
Thanks

Q: Hi, I have not done well with HNL. Bought some near 8 and again near 6 but still underwater. I have read your comments about losing a contract awile back, hold for yield, but it is hard to watch it continue to drop! It is fortunately not a great portion of my portfolio, but I continue to question the hold/sell equation. Thoughts?

can you give an update on what your opinion is on ONE after losing their court case. Do you see any value in this company at all?

Q: Just a comment re Amaya's earnings. I believe they said at the conference call that they would report in April so that the last quarter of 2012 and the first of 2013 could be compared. Also I believe they said they would give guidance for the whole year at that time. I wonder if the pullback is because the Revel Casino in Atlantic City has filed for bankruptcy protection although one company in difficulty should not bother a whole industry. Joe

Q: Hi Peter and Team

I own Health Lease properties (HLP.UN) at roughly 3% of my portfolio. It is down from my purchase price but at current prices and yield it looks pretty good to me. And I am thinking of buying more. What do you think of the recently announced acquisition and its prospects going forward. Thanks
