Q: Hi Peter,
I've heard you say in the past a healthy buy signal for a company is when it announces its first dividend. In keeping with buy signal strategy, what sort of signals are the professionals looking for when they start buying oil equities? What would you consider a buy signal in the oil patch? My concern is that the non-professionals almost always are too early or too late which kills return. Thank you for your time.

Q: According to INK Company Insider, there has been some insider buying. Hamptom Securities and Beacon have apparently been buying. Given the release of their new sports app which looks pretty good, I wonder if I could get your comments on the company for the next 12-18 months?

Q: Your views on Frankly Inc. Beacon just initiated today with an interesting report about the Company's potential. Impressed to see them raise 23M dollars for a start up tech fund listed on the TSX-V. What do you know (or think) of the players involved (SSK Planet, Stanford University, JJR Private Capital). Would you recommend this stock for a speculative position in a portfolio?

Q: Hello, should we begin to worry a bit about CSU exploding to P/E at 64 and P/B at 24? Is this a bubble waiting to burst or is it within the acceptable range for the sector? I am considering taking some profit to reduce my exposure, although CSU represents less than 5% of my portfolio. Thank you for your advice.

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
I was looking over a press release from Pulse Seismic dated January 19, 2015 reporting preliminary unaudited 2014 financial results. The numbers look surprisingly good and the stock price appears to be steadying up. (part of it may be the share buybacks) I would appreciate your opinion of the numbers contained in the press release and the company's long term prospects, if energy prices firm up. Thank you very much. DL

Q: Since September, AHF has lost over half its value, for no obvious reason other than, perhaps, being connected to insider trading in Amaya. In a previous answer (Jan 12), after weighing the pros and cons, you thought the stock was still 'buyable'; given the price depreciation, mustn't it be even more 'buyable' now?

Q: Hello, I am new to your membership and this may have previously been asked. As there are many companies out there I would like to know what your criteria is to pick a stock for performing a review on. Are these ones scrutinized from the general lot for having the most potential?

Q: I'm confused as to why CPD would be dropping now. I thought they would move up with an interest rate cut. Is this a buying opportunity for the fixed interest part of my portfolio or is the market concerned with the safety of preferred shares? Thanks.
