Q: Hi Peter,

Much enjoyed your segment on BNN.

I bought some PIH shares a few days ago and was delighted with the bump on very positive earnings report two days ago. The only issue I had with this stock is that it does not have much liquidity. With a good balance sheet, great earnings and an excellent market niche going forward, is it likely to get more attention from analysts and greater liquidity? Also, are you considering it for the 5i growth portfolio?

Q: Good morning Team. It is 9:44 Tues morn and both POW and SLF are climbing. I would have thought the opposite. I own approx 1.75% of each. Both are under for me but should I shave or sell one before they begin ???? to drop as I suspect they will??? Also ..may I suggest that all of us and 5i put the day and approx time in the Q and A as often we dont know when a question was asked and sometimes timing is important. Just a thought..Much thanks as always

Q: Peter, I'm looking to invest in one of the three companies above. I won't need to touch the investment for 5 - 10 years, and I would be content with an average annual return of 6 percent (including dividends). Please rank these three in order, based on the combined criteria of capital preservation and the goal of achieving the hoped-for 6% or better. (My portfolio is otherwise diversified.) Thank you.

Q: Hi there,
The share price of auto Canada is acting better and the street seemed to like their earnings/dividend cut. Would auto Canada see increased business with the tragedy in Fort McMurray? When looking photo's of the damage I see a lot of destroyed cars. With roughly half there dealerships in Alberta do you think there will be a meaningful benefit for acq? Do you think it is a buy at this time or has it gotten ahead of itself?
Thank you,
Kerri

Q: When I sent this yesterday, I did put in the name of the companies, as well as the symbols.
I will give it another try. Aerovironment (AVAV) and Ultimate Software (ULTI). Hope this works. Both these companies are U.S.
I know these companies have had questions submitted in the past, but I am now unable to access. Thanks.

Q: I checked my Scotia itrade account after reading your answer regarding Canadian companies paying $US dividends. My account states states that MG, OTC, CSU, CXR and BEP.UN are all paying Dividends in $US and then converting it into $CA. I am going to assume that they are charging me for that conversion each time which goes against my strategy to pay as little as possible in fees. What is my best solution to this problem. I do have a US trading account with BMO investorline. Would it be best to buy these stocks in $US to eliminate conversion fees. Any other insights or solutions would be appreciated. Thank you.
