Q: Hi Peter and Gang,

I would appreciate your thoughts on BAM.A's significant pull back over the past two months. I have a full position in this stock -- should I ride it out or should I start reducing my position.

Thanks,

Harris

Q: I note the IWO tracking the Russell 2000, is down about 24%. This is a fairly major correction so is it now a buy? Taking a wild guess, how much risk do you see on the downside??

Q: Hello 51 Team,
In anticipation of suggested growth in Infrastructure spending in both Canada and the US, and as well the SP pullback of each due to recent market overreaction, WSP and BIP.UN are looking very attractive right about now. In as much as I would like to eventually own both, I can only chose one at this time. They would be part of an Income oriented portfolio with a leaning towards stocks with a solid upside potential, expressed not only in terms of share price but consistency of dividend increases as well. Can you offer any assistance in making this very difficult choice between the two?
Thank you as always,
Rick

Q: With the understanding that you do not focus on US stocks what is your opinion of Lowes as an investment in view of the Rona deal? What is the possibility that this may turn into a Target like situation. It has quickly dropped ~7%. Thank you.

Q: I was disappointed to see PMI sell its prize asset before being able to realize its true potential. True, the holes were horribly expensive which meant that gambling on a wildcat in Molisht pretty much did this company in. Would you agree with this assertion? Or would you think it is the oil price crash that has made pure exploration play unpalatable for financings?

Q: I own 300 shares of CSE. I phone BMO and asked to tender my shares at the price of 4.90. They quoted as saying they cannot do this as it is a friendly merger and CSE does not want to pay the brokerage fees for this. How can I get full value for my shares at the earliest time. I want to invest in another dividend growth stock. If I sell on the open market at todays price I will leave $270 on the table. Thanks

Q: Can you speak about this company that's called Paychex? They are like a SaaS business, kind of like what CSU or ESL does. Can you speak the valuation right now?

Q: I currently hold both LNR and MG in my RRSP.MG has been the worse performer of the two stocks.I realize that MG is probably a screaming buy from a valuation perspective but find it inconceivable that it will hit the $70 mark any time soon.I am contemplating replacing it with Alaris which has also been beaten down but will at least
pay a decent dividend while I wait. Thanks, Joe

Q: Hello, I sold RRX today with the intension to replace it with another energy stock with your guidance. I'm aware that RRX is a great company with a good balance sheet and excellent management but have decided to purchase only dividend paying stocks from now on as it has been painful to see RRX and TOU go down with no benifit to it's shareholders. Could you please suggest a dividend paying stock that you believe will survive this cycle.I presently own TOU, WCP and a very small position in TOG. Thank you.

Q: Hi guys,

I'm looking at adding a technology company in my RRSP. I currently own CGI in Canada and Google and Facebook in the U.S. I previously have owned Open Text and Constellation Software and I'm looking at going back into one of those as my pick. My preference is CSU on its pullback, but the P/E still seems high if the anticipated growth in 2016 doesn't materialize due to economic conditions. What's your preference? Can you provide the forward P/E for both stocks? Morningstar says 14.1 for CSU, but looking at earnings estimates on TD, I get a number in the low 20's.

Thank you,
Jason
