Q: In financial media eg Globe + Mail, I sometimes see stocks listed as analyst Strong Buy. Is there a source or site where I can track strong buys for the USA and Canada? incl analyst affiliation.

Thanks for your help.

5i Research Answer:
TMX Money shows the analyst distribution (#buy, sell, etc) as well as estimates and target prices (click 'Research' after searching a stock of interest). It does not show the affiliation though and we imagine this would be difficult to find from free services.

Q: Hi, Parkland Fuel stock tumbled at the open on Friday and closed 4.4% lower. I own it from before and was happy to add to my position on this drop. PKI has been in your portfolios for a while and was also a Top Pick recently. Is there something in the quarterly results which needs to be worried about ? After the CST brands acquisition, stock has just gone straight up and Friday was the first serious correction. Would appreciate your thoughts.

Q: This is not a question but a comment. I held IT in two accounts with RBC Direct Investing. I had tendered the shares but I forgot about it. So unthinking I sold them some time ago at about $10 after they had been tendered. And they went. But on reading the members comments today, I called my broker who thanked me as he could now straighten out their records by cancelling the tenders.

This was a somewhat different experience than was was experienced by some members with TD accounts. I hope this is of interest.

Q: What is the risk / reward currently for BOS. Looking at the charts the share price has and continues to drop. BUT ... at today's price is looking very oversold using the RSI and Williams % as indicators. If you owned this (as I do and am sitting on a large loss and buying into your thesis that the company will do better over time), would you add now? It is a small %age of my portfolio.

Thanks.

Q: We own both of these companies in a riff account for the dividend and hopefully some growth given the demographics. Any reason why they have dropped so much recently ( seems to be more than the market) and would you buy more at these prices?
Thank you. Maggie

Q: PPL and others in the utility pipeline space have taken a major haircut in the last few days for no reason at all. Is the threat of a Fed rate increase really to blame? In real financial terms that is really immaterial. However, market movers have been using all threats (real or otherwise) to further their games of stirring stock movements. What is your take on this? Thanks.
