Q: I would like to add one of the above now, to my TFSA for a long-term foundational hold.
In your view which one or two would you pick for the best long-term upside potential.

Q: On my question today, I seem to have included PBI in my list of companies, when I was asking about PBL. Anyway, could you give me your ranking of PBL on the 1-10 scale I was asking about, 5+ year hold, in a diversified portfolio with an above average risk tolerance. Maybe a couple of comments about the company. Thanks

Q: Scotia lowered the target price to $41 and stated that PKI should reduce the EBITDA growth and instead return more capital to shareholders in dividends. EBITDA grew from $1.25-billion to $2.0-billion. Is Scotia's hypothesis correct? I always thought that the EBIDTA growth is one of the most important criteria in evaluating a stock.

Q: Hello Peter and Team, a couple questions on Superior.
a. For an investor content to hold this for the 5.6% dividend alone, would you like it here for the long-term - or do you think the share price could drop significantly?
b. If you already owned ENB, FTS, EMA, and AQN, would you see SPB as too much, or unnecessary, overlap?
c. the price chart for SPB in Google Finance is significantly different over 1 and 5 year periods that the charts in 5i. Do you know why? Does the Google chart add back in dividends perhaps?
