Q: Rifco appears to be in same business as CFN, but in the segment that competes directly with the banks. It appears to be much smaller, less liquid and far more expensive. Obviously since its smaller it can grow much more quickly but competing head to head with TD and Scotia doesn't seem very lucrative. Am I missing something?
Q: If gold stays at it's present level, does this increase the risk that Detour will need to dilute its shareholders with a financing before it is cash flow positive? (Assuming no major hiccups in the recent guidance on mine start-up). Would OSK also stay cash flow positive?
Q: Can you please comment on the rmm.un halt and news today. It generally seems positive but not sure how material it is - is it just an extension or something more significant? Is Remcomm looking good as an investment here?
Q: I'm considering US banks but can't decide on which one. Can you recommend an ETF or do you know of any reason to stay away from them? Thanks again. Dave
Q: Please let me know if there is any reason to hang on to YRI. Thanks for your answer. Betty

Q: Hi Team,
Are your current views on Home Capital still positive. Has the short, and media hype surrounding the short done playing out?
I bought some at $58 and was thinking of adding to it now at $53.
Do you think we've seen the end of the slide?
I'm in it for the long term, but there's nothing more depressing than a 10% drop just after you get in.

Q: Good morning. When assessing a company's stock, how important are metrics such as price to earnings and price to cash flow?
What is the most important metric for a retail investor to be aware of, or is there such a thing? Does it depend on the type of business or sector the company is involved in?
Finally, for P/E, is it more important to pay attention to 'current' P/E or 'forward' P/E? How reliable are the quoted ratios, since the value seems to vary a bit from from site to site for some companies? Also, some sites will often not quote a current and/or forward P/E. Any reason for this?
Thanks as always for your valuable information and advice.

Q: Hi Peter and team,
I have held CNQ for quite some time, but the stock, with the overall sector, hasn't been doing much. I am down about 20% on the stock. With some patience, I know the stock will rebound once the sector does, but I was thinking about potentially switching into Whitecap Resources or Raging River as they seem to have held up fairly well in the sector and have good growth prospects. In terms of upside potential, would you think staying with CNQ would be better than entering into one of these other names?
Appreciate your thoughts.

Q: Good morning, Peter.
As a holder of First Majestic Silver (SLV.TO) I was not too concerned by the Q1 revenue, cash flow or earnings. However the stock is down 59% from its 12 month high. What am I not seeing? With a 3-5 year holding period do you see this stock as a sell, hold or buy?
With appreciation.
Ed

Q: my question is regarding Altagas (ALA-T). i purchased it for a core position in my son's account at about $25 and needless to say i'm very happy about the results. the way i understand things is that substantial "ebitda" should occur in the next several years.some of their contracts are very lucrative, long term and inflation protected.i guess management performance will be key to ensure these projects are properly executed . another concern i have is "when" interest rates do rise (and i realize that may several years away), would't a stock like ALA would get lambasted in that environment ? so finally, i'm thinking of buying more, what are your likes and dislikes about this stock. thanx norm
