Investment Q&A

Q: I am thinking of adding to CSU and would appreciate your thoughts. Although it's a high quality company the stock has underperformed the TSX this year. Is it better to buy now or wait for price improvement and if the later, what would trigger you to buy?
My thesis is based on CAGR of 20% (2016 est. $18.29 & 2017 est.$21.91) & forward p/e 23. Possible growth driver from TSS purchase by taking advantage of weakness in Europe.
As always, appreciate your views and particularly the other side of the trade.
Many thanks.
Mike

Q: I noticed 'Gary' had a question about Westport WPT. You gave it a 'short call'. Another interesting company with real stuff happening but no $$ or traction. Another stock for the future that will always remain so! Natural gas engine systems for trucks and buses. Contracts with Ford, Cummins et al. What is your take on this whole endeavour and this company. Thank you

Q: Hello Folks,
I see this monthly income fund has a mer of 1.39% if bought with CAN funds and 0.45% if bought with US funds. The symbol is PIM005 if bought with CAN$ or PIMIX if bought with US$.
Is this all correct? I have some room in my portfolio for fixed income and just received some US funds which I would like to deploy.
Thank you,
Rick

Q: I was very interested in your reply to Cliff regarding 5 top dividend-paying companies. I am glad to say that I do have some of each but was a bit surprised to see MND in the list since it has only recently moved up from a long period of languishing. Could you please provide some background that supports your positive outlook. Thanks for your continuing great service. Bob.

Q: Hi Peter,
Enghouse has not been doing well. Do you still like it for long term hold? Any idea why Brookfield Bussiness Partners is going up today? Also, does recent announcement of Brookfield raising $14 B for the Global infrastructure Fund refer to BGI.UN? If so, is it better to invest in BGI.UN or BIP. UN? Lastly, Telecom stocks are stable but the PEs are quite high. Can you shed some light please? Thanks

Thanks !
