Q: I am very soft at present on almost all Cdn. energy stocks with the exception of TOU & Whitecap. On the other hand I continue to be very positive on the energy support side - ie: PPL, IPL, PHX, BDI, etc. Would appreciate your opinion & in particular your preference between PPL & IPL. Thank you.

Q: What is your thoughts on TCK.B? You've indicated in the past that the company is well managed, but due to falling commodity prices the stock value has fallen substantially. Do you feel that now is a good opportunity to purchase shares in Teck?

Also, do you see any reason to own TCK.A over TCK.B?

Q: Good Afternoon:

My question relates to Agjunction (AJX). It is off considerably this year with no apparent reason. Quarter results are not due until March 19th. Can you shed any light on the recent weakness? Is it a buying opportunity in your view?

Thanks,

DON

Q: re CA:SW SWIR - M2M & IofE.... for 5i research & family

Went by Sierra Wireless head office in Richmond BC. Beautiful very large building. Very busy place with tons of security. Sat in large lobby and talked with a couple of suppliers waiting to meet with SW contacts. Each said SW was enjoying a very positive attitude with lots going on in building relationships & R&D. And they appear to be working with all the big players in the M2M EofI technology sector including Cisco.

Technicals for SWIR were very flat between Jan 05 & Aug 2013. Since Aug however stock has seen a 59% increase and in the past month a 21% upside to where it sits today at $25.42. I am wondering if this chart is not going to look incredibly good over the next 2 - 5 years and beyond.

In previous reports 5i has mentioned a bit of a checkered past regarding performance for SW but lots of cash on hand. You also mentioned it isn't cheap @ 30+ times earnings. But I can't help thinking M2M technology makes incredible sense and is something we are going to see take off in a big way in the not so distant future.

Does the 5i team have any idea when that future may be? And what about a bigger player coming in and taking SW out... is that something of a possibility?

Thanks 5i... appreciate the forum big time

Q: One stock that I am monitoring is Franco-Nevada (FNV), and I think it is ready for an uptake, as is the price of Gold. Can you suggest a well run mining stock on the TSX?
Your service is incredible - thank you.

Q: Due to the recent pull back, I have a few riskier symbols. I am considering buying one or two of them. I would be willing to give up a bit of growth to cut down on the risk - so here they are: PTS, PLI, FLY, HYG and MNW, ARTX-US. Which two would you say are the best? Thank you. Dennis

Q: Hi, I have been slowing adding your model portfolio to my stocks and I am somewhat concerned about Magna ( MG) and Constellation Software (CSU) seeing how they have climbed quite fast as of late. I am wondering if they are fully valued and whether or not I should wait for a pull back for these two.

Q: I'm trying to gather information on the medical marijuana company ENERTOPIA. Will this company be public and how do you purchase shares? I gather the symbol is TOP.CNQ but that doesn't
help me with any information on how to buy shares. Would you please explain this situation. thank you for your time.

Q: ECI EnerCare Inc

Q: PBH
We read the latest report on premium brands which sounded very good to us, stock opens 5% lower at 3 times the volume. We have a half weight position and were wondering if we should top up or take the 25% gain it has made since we bought it. Basically b/s/h?

Q: I was wondering what you thought of Prem Watsa's statement about a 'monstrous' real estate bubble set to burst in China. If it does, would there be a major impact on CDN markets? And if it would, which sectors would be hit worst or least?

Q: To your list of Quebec companies like FSZ possibly impacted by a PQ win you could add BCE, IAG, ATD, PJC, POW, NA, CNR, MRU, BBD and more. I don't think the separatism issue is on the media's radar in a big way yet, but if polls next week indicate a jump in support due to the star candidate's arrival, this could change fast with the feds being mute so far. My memory doesn't go back to the referendum of 20 years ago but I wonder if it wouldn't be the banks and financials hurt most as both sides have a tug of war going on the C$ as a central theme presently, and money runs scared first, asks questions later.

Would you agree or which sector is most vulnerable? Thanks, J.
