Q: Hi Peter and team. I would appreciate your views on Churchill Corp (CUQ). Do you feel the dividend is reasonably secure? Your thoughts on the Q4 numbers just released. Do you prefer a different company in the sector? I already hold Stantec. Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter....This question is about E-L Financial (ELF-t). The 2013 year end announcement says "E-L Financial's net equity value per Common Share at December 31, 2013 was $872.45." But the price share remains at $700. (Most days the volume is light, minimal but today was an exemption, totalled 23,190.) I thought the trading price would ri$e. Would appreciate your take about the reasons it isn't ramping up......Tom M

Q: Hi Team,
I hold Toyota (TM) and Magna (MG). While the parts manufacturers have been on a tear, my Toyota stock has been dropping steadily since November even though they've beat expectations handily the last two quarters. Could you shed some light on why they're not moving more in sync, and is there something wrong at Toyota?

Q: Hello Peter....My energy sector positions makes up about 20% of the portfolio. This weighting is about 5 times the weighting of the 5iR model portfolio. With this in mind, I considering right-sizing, decreasing the weighting? And at the same time, this would consolidating the positions rather than having a number of borderline 1% holds that for me, likes spread the risk among a number of similar holdings in the energy sector.

Here are the positions with weightings. Badger 1.1, CanElson 1.2 PHX 2.4, Lundin Petro 2.4, Vermillion 1.4, Baytex, 1.1, Cenovus 2.0, Energplus 1.2, Painted Pony 1.4, Surge 1.0 and Tourmaline 3.4. These are held in a growth/capital appreciation non-registered account....that is now more fairly sector diverse since being a follower of 5iR.

What weighting or allocation % for energy would you suggest for this economic environment? And what stocks should I continue to hold or stocks that should be the core ones? (Could Badger be classified as Industrial?)

Many thanks.....Tom M

Q: American Hotels Income Fund (HOT.UN)released its Q4 and 2013 results this morning-- and the market seems to be punishing it for the results (down over 7%). The results didn't seem too bad, with continuing expansion tied to long-term railway occupancy guarantees, etc. Could I have your views on the results and the security of the nice distribution?
Thank you.
Harold.

Q: Wow a busy day with questions. I am writing for your assessment of badger's financial today. They appear to be great but management seems to have the most conservative comments in light of their result. l was disappointed not to see a dividend increase could that be staged for the end of the month to give the stock a second bump. Happy St. Patrick's Day Mike

Q: Thank You for answering my early question but if you have a profit when selling your stocks and not a loss do you still have to wait the 30 day waiting period before buying back in.

Q: Fairly muted market response to BAD's q4 report. Numbers look god on their face. Is the mention that there were weather-challenges in q4 and that these are still present in q1, part of the reason for this response? Maybe the lack of divi increase? The market was also weak today.
Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I was interested in knowing if when I sell all of my stock holdings in a company is there a 30 day waiting period before I can buy back into it.

Thank You
