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

Q: Hi Peter and team My question relates to Alta Gas (ALA). RBC has a sector perform rating while NBF has an outperform. In looking over their reports I see virtually identical estimates of dividend increases for 2014 but NBF goes further with a projection of a 15% increase for 2015. RBC says it is fully valued at the current price while NBF maintains it sells at a discount to the "high payout group" with 2015 estimates P/AFFO of 10.4 cf. with group average of 12. I would like to know your opinion.

Thanks

Ross

Q: My question is on CXI. Can you give us your updated comments on this stock? Revenues and cashflow are starting to grow but NI was flat. This little company looks to have good growth prospects especially in the US and has applied for bank status in Canada. The balance sheet looks decent. Any chance you'll do a report on it for us?

Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter. Crescent Point Energy seems to be a top pick for just about everybody these days. I have held it for about 7 months. The dividend is nice , but growth has been virtually nil. Do you see growth ahead? Should I be in another company that offers both yield and growth. Keep up the great work. You and your team are an oasis in the financial advisor arena.

Would you buy now or wait and hope it drops?
How do you rate the management and how does their orderbook look?
When will they issue their next financial report?
Thanks,

Q: Is there an 'RRSP' effect on the Canadian Market?
By this I am referring to an influx of money in the first 60 days of a year that is looking for a home whether through mutual funds or direct investment in the market.
I seem to have an impression that the markets take a dip after RRSP season.
Your opinion is, as always, appreciated!
Thanks!

Q: I'm one of your newer subscribers having joined in Nov '13 and I have been doing much better with my investing since then. I ditched my Financial Adviser/Broker about a year ago when I finally stopped procrastinating and acted upon long held realisation that she was making more money from our accounts than we were.
I now manage both RRSPs and RRIFs for myself and my wife. We own 40 shares in the four accounts, most of them dividend producing, but also some growth stocks and they are fairly widely spread across different sectors and different geographical areas.
I have a few duds, or at least equities or ETFs that I bought at the wrong time when I was out in the wilderness learning to do it all by myself, and I intend to sell them when the time is right to take advantage of your advice given in your answers to members.
It doesn't seem to be too onerous a task at the moment as long as I ignore events like the recent selloff, but are 40 stocks too many?

Q: Hi 5i,

Wondering what your thoughts are on the ALX/RPL merger? Suspect Peter knows RPL from his Sprott days?

Your view on the merger would be greatly appreciated. Do you think it's a buying opportunity?

Q: Just a comment, but whenever a company announces bad news like mccoy did yesterday and horizon north logistics did 3 weeks ago, for me this is a huge warning sign, i immediately sell and never return, your first loss is your best loss. There are so many great opportunities , why wait months until maybe these companies recover and that is a big maybe. I owned both mccoy and horizon and i am now long gone. I am averaging 16 per cent annual average return forthe last 10.5 years so i feel i know what i am talking about.have to disagree with you to hold mccoy, that was one awful announcement. Dave

Q: I just joined as a member today and like what I see so far.I'm considering buying BTE or WCP to round out my holdings of resource stocks. I like both of these companies for their dividend and growth prospects. I'm interested in hearing your comments. I plan to buy one or the other. Do you have a preference? Thanks.
