Q: I have been holding TOU for the past year so I am still underwater even though it has recovered a bit this year. I recently reduced my position by about 25% thinking that the recovery in the energy sector would be short lived and I wante d to take some money off the table and maybe add later at a lower price.
Since then, TOU and other low cost gas producers have continued to go up so now I am a bit confused considering that nat gas prices continue to be weak. Can you please shed some light on the current dynamics in the nat gas market and your outlook for TOU.
Thank you.

Q: Peter,
I recently bought shares in Vecima networks. The company reported today with highest revenues and earnings "in recent history". (below)
This company seems to have a lot going for it including low P/E ratio, growing earnings and revenue streams and nice dividend and occasional unannounced surprise dividends.
Two questions: [1] what is the company's specific market niche as a broadband provider (what does it do that other companies doesn't) or is its growth just a function of growing need for bandwidth, streaming, data. [2] What would it take to bring this company out from under the radar and capture the attention of more analysts/investors?
Thanks for your excellent service!

Q: I have been holding, and hoping, for Air Transat (trz) for over 2 years now. My loss on paper is 30%.
Does it make sense to hold further for a recovery or is it better to bite the bullet and redeploy in the same sector ? But where ?
Many thanks,
Jacques

Q: Can you give your opinion on MRG.un. The recent quarterly generated a nice pop in the stock, but debt is higher than I like. POR is excellent. Yield is good, and distribution is mostly ROC. But I'm not sure how much growth there will be?
Do you expect them to grow the stable of assets and the cash flow very much?

Q: Your thoughts on this company? Is it worth adding to at this level?
Q: I've had my eye on this one for a while. Too bad I did not buy when I came upon it? I tend not to buy small companies that are valued on growth because the landscape is littered with companies that fall faster then they rise when things do not go right. This comp. seems incredibly over valued to me: TTM PE of 27, FPE of 25, 7x book value. Even with an ROE of 20 & PEG ratio over one? It's EPS is very small - so, earning on a cash basis must be a fair bit higher. I'd like to buy - maybe? I prefer dividend growers as well. How liquid is the stock which is important to me because I like to hold good size positions. I did well with BAD & ACQ which were growth stocks: 3 x my money - so, I do like a bit of growth.
