Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: hello 5i:
some time ago (2013) you suggested that companies such as PD and TCW were on equal footings with NOV. My personal research shows that NOV is very undervalued now(50%ish). Can you comment on NOV and can you suggest Canadian companies that could provide at least as much value, at present valuations.
thanks

Q: Hi. I'm a new comer to your service. I love it so far. I have a question regarding your summary list. I am wondering if this is a list of stocks that are okay to buy or, is it the list of the stock universe that you cover and not all of them necessarily represent the best ideas to buy at this time?

Q: What is your view of Just Energy? Jim Pattison and Ron Joyce have been accumulating shares. Although the Dividend is high it seems to have a low P/E, reasonable EBITDA, although the EBIT margin is low, and the current ratio seems in the ball park for comparable stocks. What would they potentially coming down the pike that would enhance the value?

Q: Greetings to Peter and his team. You guys are great. I am thinking about selling my Magna International shares that I I acquired very recently and buy TRW instead. My reason is that I just saw analyst's 12 month target estimates for TRW are much better for TRW than Magna. I have tried to ask questions about TRW on BNN several times but none of the portfolio managers seem to follow it.

Q: Could you please comment on Horizons actively managed global dividend ETF? - HAZ
It's assets are mainly in the United States (67%) and United Kingdom (13%), with small holdings in Canada (6%), Korea (3%), Australia (3%) and the rest of the world. It's current dividend is 2.37% paid monthly. Are there other international ETF's you would recommend with more even weightings between developed regions, including North America, and no emerging market exposure? Thanks!

Q: I understand that you are not tax professionals and if you can't answer my questions that's ok. I also know it is hard to answer accurately without knowing all my information and details. First question is is interest paid in a margin account tax deductible?

Second question is more complicated. My wife works for Abbott and gets stock options. She pays 2% of her pay and company matches 3% of her pay for a total of 5 percent. Her portion comes off her check and the companies portion shows up on T4 as earnings. When do we pay tax on this? Only when we sale? I understand that we have to claim the dividends as earnings through out the year. To add further confusion Abbott split and now she owns approximately 300 shares of Abbvie and Abbott. How does a split effect taxes?

As I stated this may be complicated and I will take any general answers or advice.
