Q: I am wondering what your thoughts are on Chicago Bridge and Iron.CBI.The stock has been under pressure from a poor quarter awhile back but really took a beating today down by more than $4.Is there something going on I should be concerned about?

Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter, Argonaut Gold (AR) is up close to 20% this week. Is there any news? Conversely Artis REIT is struggling, any reason for its recent decline. As always, appreciate the service. Rob

Q: Hi Folks:
I have long owned CSX rail; considering reduced coal shipments am considering swapping for CP or CNR (or keeping CSX and adding a Canadian railroad). What are your thoughts?
Thanks for the great work

Q: Hi Peter & Team:
Can you please explain to me what the significance of High Artic's (HWO) $25 million
Bought Deal offering of Subscription Receipts @ a price of $4.95 per receipt will be on
the price of of the common Shares? If I understand this correctly, the receipts represent the right to acquire 1 common share of HWO per receipt. The receipts will be listed on
TSE as HWO.R. I have noticed the price of the common shares have fallen since the announcement. As the holders of these receipts convert to common shares & sell them
on the market will it not act as a deterrent to the stock increasing in price.
Thanks: Jerry

Q: Hi 5i Team,

You have stated in the past that in your ideal world, stocks would be classified with 15 sectors (itemized below). Over the past year, you have suggested target sector weights that a model portfolio should aim for. I am doing some mid year rebalancing / new capital deployment with my portfolio and hoping you can fill in your updated target sector weights for the next 6-12 months based on what you see in the economy.

Capital Goods / Industrials =
Consumer Cyclical =
Consumer Staples =
Energy =
Financials =
Health Care (CDN) =
Health Care (US) =
Information Technology =
Internet / Software =
Materials (Gold / Silver) =
Materials (Metals) =
Real Estate =
Retail =
Telecommunication Services =
Transportation =
Utilities =
TOTAL = 100%

(Risk Profile = 8 out of 10 with long time horizon, current portfolio consists of 45% small cap, 25% mid cap & 30% large cap)

Thank You.

Q: Any insights on KXS - just went public this week. Seems like a bit of a resurgence in the tech sector? thanks

Q: This is question about AAPL but also about what you think of stock buyback in general. How does a stock buyback fit into your criteria for feeling bullish or bearish?

Q: I have large positions in Cineplex and Interpipeline-the two make up about 20% of my portfolio. I was thinking of bringing the total down to 10% and using the funds to buy Everet Technologies. Your thoughts please?
