Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I know you've been getting lots of AVO questions, but I want to get your thoughts on what it will take to finally move the stock up. It seems like the results were overall solid, and the fundamentals of the company are very much intact, but it just keeps getting punished. Do analysts and investors just generally dislike this company so much that it'll never get the benefit of the doubt. I'm starting to get a little impatient with it, as I'm sure a lot of others are.

Thanks,

Jordan

Q: Just a comment as it appears some folks are still buying. How does this Enron style Co. justify financial statements listing
over 17B in Goodwill & Net Intangibles over 22B! Why, this puts them in the same value class as Johnson & Johnson. REALLY!

Q: I have held BCE for about 10 years and it currently represents about 6% of my portfolio. It is my only telecom holding and I am wondering weather it may be prudent to take advantage of todays pullback in Telus and sell some BCE in favour of Telus (or other suggestion?) to be more diversified in the sector. Is 6% reasonable for the sector? These would continue to be long term holdings assuming the status quo in the industry.

Q: Now that I have sold my WIN shares, I would caution your readers, and Helen in particular, that it is possible that the major shareholders could take this company private, using its own cash, and be laughing all the way to the proverbial bank.

Q: Telus today reported a 10% increase in its dividend, but I think it meant 10% for all 2015 including the previously announced 5% dividend increase from Spring 2015 of 2 cents from 40 to 42 cents. If my understanding is correct, then the Telus dividend increase is overstated and Telus is guilty of taking credit twice for the same positive news. Full disclosure - I have a full position in Telus and am well satisfied. Can you provide a general comment on companies taking credit for the same news more than once. If so, the politicians have competition.

Thanks as always to the work of the team.

Q: I have had a very steep roller coaster ride (mostly down) with NHC and am currently out of it. Having just watched the interview on BNN with the CEO Chris Llyod and the announcement of the $300 M lawsuit, I am considering taking a position in NHC yet again. Do you see any merit in the lawsuit; and if you watched the interview or read reports of the NHC response: would any of this provide you with sufficient reason to buy the stock. Thanks.

Q: Hello. NAL's Q3 report sets a target: ​"​Despite the low oil price environment, we will target to be Free Cash Flow neutral commencing in 2016 and positive thereafter." Given NAL's cost cutting and 50% dividend reduction, do you see NAL meeting the target of 'Cash Flow neutral' in 2016 and maintaining their lower dividend? In effect, can NAL can offer existing customers and potential customers value with oil prices in the $45 to $50 range? Is it possible to predict a very rough range for the price of Oil over the next 12 months? Buy / Hold / Sell ? Thanks so much for this fantastic service.
