Q: I have 425 shares of GH and underwater about 11.5% Not a huge loss and I am happy to keep holding since its only a 1.94 % weighting in my portfolio. My comments or questions is in relations to the following announcement.

http://www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2015/09/09/great-canadian-gaming-awarded-first-bundle-in-ontario-gaming-modernization

Great Canadian gaming has been awarded the first phase or bundle of casinos or slots from OLG. From my understanding there is more to come. Do you think Gamehost would try to move in Ontario with some assets OLG is giving up? Also how do the deal fair for Great Canadian Gaming? Is it safe to assume they get the rest of OLG's assets or does another company come in? Looks like a positive in my opinion long term for GC. Your thoughts please. Thanks Jimmy

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
My exposure to the US Housing market is through Tricon Capital (TCN) and Interfor (IFP) and I'm up on both; however, the latter one is lagging significantly lately and I wonder if I should sell and move on to another Canadian company participating in this sector.
Could you name a couple? What do you think of Hardwoods Distribution (HWD)?
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: HI Peter,
Apologies. This relates to your answer to my previous question. If Bombardier decides to IPO part of the rail business, is it worth buying BBD now to potentially get some shares in the Bombardier rail IPO or is it possible that existing BBD shares holders may not get any shares from the IPO? Any idea. Thanks again.

Q: Hi peter,
Do you have a view as to why Fairfax taking a big dip on a daily basis? Also, do you feel the surge in Bombardier stock is simply speculation (i.e. selling of the rail business for higher price). thanks

Q: Hi, 5i

Do you recommend we pick up another half or quarter position in CXI with the drop, or should we wait until we hear the call and then assess at that time?

Thanks,

Q: I own some Suncor (about 1% of my total investment portfolio). I also have ENB, TRP, and WCP in the sector at about the same level. After reading the SU CEO's comments of yesterday about putting some of the company's pile of cash into play, either by giving some back to the shareholders, or making acquisitions, I am thinking that now might be a good time to double my holding in SU. What do you think?
Thanks.

Q: We have to sell one of these to pay his tuition
Which would you sell
Because he is overweight BNS , I thought we should sell 1/3 for a loss ... but perhaps that isn't a good strategy .
BNS (big loss) , OTC (loss) , XSP (loss) , GWO (gain) , L (big gain ) , ATD.B ( huge gain ),
Are RESP losses non claimable ???

Thanks

Q: Good Morning
Which would you consider "safer" for income over 5+ years : A Canadian Bank [likely CM] or the new Ag Growth Int's Convertible Debenture. Yields about the same, but how do company debts compare?
Thank you..... Paul K

Q: Can you please take a close look at this company and provide your thoughts on the Balance sheet, recent outside stake taken and management overall. I have followed this company for a while and watched it ink nice deals in the N.Gas space. The data from the newer wells also looks good. To me it looks like it is changing into a utility going forward with locked in N.Gas prices and contracts being extended in duration. One side note: I heard a analyst comment on the credibility of management and companies promoting it. Your thoughts and analysis would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Jason N
