Q: Hi,
Would you have any thoughts on this release:
MacDonald Dettwiler & Associates | MDA-TSX | price C$98.50 | Market Perform - Estimates revised. Maintain C$93.00 target price.
 The Com Sat market remains competitive (pricing pressure) and the stronger US$ makes it worse (MDA’s sats are more expensive vs. European competitors).
 A diversified revenue base and an improved cost structure should however help MDA weather the Com Sat pressures as it did in 2014.
 With MDA trading at 10.8x EBITDA, well above space infrastructure peers at 7.6x, we await a better entry point.
 Our target of $93.00 is based on 10x C2016E EBITDA, at a premium to peers given MDA’s stronger margin profile.
Thanks

Q: Could you give me some history on why & when FNV started dealing in Oil/Gas royalties?? Their present break-down by revenue is 17% oil/gas royalties. Also, are FNV,OR,SSL,RGL valued by Enterprise Value/Free Cash Flow?? Pierre Lassonde says that analysts don't assign any value from the fact that FNV gets a free perpetual option on discoveries made on the land by the operators, and FNV gets a free perpetual option on the price of gold. Do you agree with this?

Q: Just wanted to add something re Charlie's question on choosing a broker.
I have been with Scotia iTRADE for a while and have noticed their services getting better and fees coming down over the years. Nice to see that there is some competition in the industry. I note also that CIBC has just lowered their standard trade fee to $6.99. Hopefully Scotia and the other banks will follow.
Scotia has a decent list of ETFs that can be bought commission free. Also, it is very easy to enrol in DRIP and DPP as there is a tab to click that gives you the option. This means that all dividends can be reinvested commission free. Saves hundreds of dollars a year (if you hold div payers) and compounds returns efficiently.
Psychologically, for me it is easier to hold long term when you see your share count going up every quarter and dividend increases don't hurt either. Keeps the temptation to "over trade" down.

Q: I'm looking at this company as a long term hold in my rrsp. What are your thoughts?
Q: Hi I was wondering if I could get your opinion on this stock!
Q: I'm looking at investing in growth stocks in the pharmaceutical/health sector and am looking at two specific stocks, CRH and ACRX.US I appreciate that both are small cap and there is inherent risk in both. Could you please review each of these, provide your thoughts, and which of the two if either you would recommend.
Thank you

Q: Is XYL far enough along for investment? It's product, Xyla, is a sugar made from hardwood by-products. This form of xylitol is recommended for the sugar-sensitive. It is anti-bacterial: candy and gum made with hardwood xylitol don't cause cavities. Last night, xylitol (in general) got a plug on The Exchange. Cookies made with xylitol will be on Whole Foods shelves. This tells me public awareness is growing. Is XYL strong enough to grow? From Patti.
Q: Hello Peter & Co,
A follow-up on a fellow member's question on the subject. I too own BEP.UN and have noted your reference to NPI and RNW; but I am wondering if you had also considered Boralex BLX and Innergex INE.
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Can I get 5i's updated view on Element Financial? Earnings were released on Wednesday and they seemed to match guidance and street expectations. I also noticed it has been doing quite well over the past few months compared to banks (although bank earnings see to be giving banks some catch up). How do you think EFN will do versus the rest of the financial sector?
Q: Just wondering if I should hold Vee, fez, and vxus inside a registered or non registered account. I thought I read somewhere that if held in a registered account, the withholding tax of 15% would apply (unlike us equities in a registered account), and there is no way to recoupe since it is in a registered account. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks again for the great service.
Thanks again for the great service.
Q: On a morning just FULL of dividend increases for picks that are highly regarded by 5i, I just have to say, again, THANK you all! Great service.
Q: tfsa I have approx $12,000 to be put to work- right now I have some rsi 1,100 shares and 35 ffh. A couple of suggestions would be appreciated. I am 60 years of age and in no need of the money.
Q: I own some stocks and ETF's in U.S. dollars. Are there any reasonable methods the retail investor can use to insure himself from a possible decline in the value of the U.S. dollar. This may involve options, hedging or possibly an ETF that tracks the U.S. dollar or other suggestions ?
Many Thanks
Paul

Q: First question from an old mining guy. If you assume,as I do,that the next situation faced (after dividend and capex cuts) for Canadian oil producers will be re-statements of reserves and resources,who's on the casualty list? In other words, have you done a sensitivity analysis to see who's reserves drop from "14 years" to "5 years" at $50 oil?
