Q: Good morning Peter
Would you recommend the purchase of Uni-Select at this price level. From last weeks earnings release sales were flat to low growth but the profit per share has been increasing. I think the market is focused on the revenue number and has missed the earnings growth and the increase in the dividend last quarter.

thank you David

Q: I'm a GIC buyer with extensive experience in writing covered calls, but haven't used that procedure for a while. After a market correction is usually a good time to start buying higher yielding stocks with higher premiums. It's easier to lose a stock to a call rather than watch it go down. Do you have any suggestions on higher yielding stocks with higher yielding premiums to be bought on a correction? In the past I've used BTE,ARX,SLF,SU,HSE,BCE,T,BNS,CM,etc. I'll take the responsibility for the timing.

Another procedure would involve buying quality companies where the sector is out of favour. Recently I've looked at G, AEM, TCK.B and Bad. They have an average premium yield on the second next call (46 days) of about 30%. The DTC yield is about 3.00%. If the stocks go down, I have a higher-than-GIC yield and can hold until the stocks increase and I can start selling calls again. Do you have any suggestions on this type of out of favour stocks. Thanks for your help.

Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
Could you please comment on the Q2 results of Glentel (GLN-TSX). It seems that their Australian acquisition has not gone well at all. Other divisions are doing OK. Do you think that there is any hope for this company going forward or should I just drive on ??? Also what would you replace it with ??? Thank you very much, DL

Q: TOS: you were pretty negative about TOS yesterday. Today Canaccord was positive about the company - not hard as it moved up 35%. Does the latest company report change your mind?

TSO3* (TOS : TSX : $0.97), Net Change: 0.25, % Change: 34.72%, Volume: 509,859
It’s the Final Countdown! TSO3 reported second-quarter results, with revenues growing to $132,179, as compared to $37,255
in the second quarter in 2013. EPS for the quarter came in at a loss of $0.02, in line with consensus estimates. The innovator in
low temperature sterilization technology for medical devices, said the higher sales in 2014 reflect a higher utilization by the
users of the installed base of sterilizers leading to increased sales of consumables, as well as an increase in maintenance and
compatibility testing services. Canaccord Genuity Sustainability Analyst Sara Elford notes that the results were in line with her
estimates and the core tenets of her investment thesis remain as follows: (1) technology platform is game-changing and
applicable across multiple products and end-markets; (2) business model is excellent (very healthy, high-margin recurring
revenue from captive consumable sales based on the in-use installed base); (3) cash balance is sufficient to fund current burn
rate past Q3/15; (4) her confidence in U.S. clearance in 2014 remains very high (5) in her view TSO3 should be an acquisition
target in due course following a successful FDA outcome. In mid-July, TSO3 received an Additional Information Request from
the Agency with respect to its May 2, 2014 submission. Management is very pleased with the bilateral communications so far
and expects to have everything back into the FDA in its final form within a month or two. Elford believes that U.S. clearance
could be a 2014 event, representing an important catalyst for the company.

Q: hello Peter:
could you please comment on SVY's (Savannah)quarter? Certainly the CEO makes the future sound bright with the addition of the new triple rig, but then that's their job, correct? And, would you consider this a buy, sell, or hold?
thanks
