Q: Peter and Team,

Can you comment on Arsenal Energy's results? They look pretty good to me... it currently is 3.6% of my portfolio and I'm planning on continuing to hold the stock. Your thoughts on the long term for this company are appreciated.

Q: Hi,
Looking at your Badger Rept dated May 8 2012 rated A-, now B+, due to increased valuation, no doubt.I noticed they have been diversifying into construction which is very strong due to unusually low interest rates. Since there is much talk of rising rates, do you see this as a serious risk to BAD's upside or even line them up for another haircut?

Q: I have owned and added to Husky HSE for a number of years and my cost base is precisely where the stock price is now. So the dividends have been my only return to date, and the company has made it known there will be no div. increases for the next couple of years. I know you have a good opinion of HSE, as do I, but I'm wondering whether it'd be advantageous to switch into Vermilion (similar dividend but better growth opportunities?). Thank you

Q: Peter and Crew:

Regarding the Brookfield Group: Which is preferable to hold, the parent company BAM.A or the individual subsidiaries eg BEP.un. They seem to provide a larger dividend for income, but wondered how they compared for growth. Also was wondering about tax implications in a non registered account.Are "units" treated differently than common shares with respect to dividend income.

Thanks

Q: A couple of my holdings have been punished for reporting weak quarterly numbers, namely Parkland (PKI) and Newalta (NAL). Here's my question: I hear some people say that one weak quarter is often followed by another, while others say that one quarter is too soon to decide on a stock. Could I have your comments on PKI and NAL, as well as on how to decide whether a bad quarter is a harbinger or a blip. Thanks very much.

Q: Hi 5i,
Are all insiders created equal? Using JE Just Energy as an example, am I right in believing CEO's, CFO's, have more inside knowledge on company specifics than say a 10% holder?
Why I say this, would Jim Pattison have bought stock in JE, Just Energy, knowing the company was going to slash their dividend so soon after his purchases and take a 25% haircut on the stock price?
Also how do directors rate in insider knowledge ?
Thanks.

Q: re: ALA Altagas

As of late I have been hearing and reading many pundit comments suggesting ALA has a very bright future - especially if/when LNG approvals starting coming in... if/when being the biggest component in that statement. With that in mind I have a few questions;

1) your thoughts on the 2nd 1/4 results released July 31?
2) is there a reason there doesn't seem to be much interest in ALA on a volume and 5i membership basis (last 5i question was June 10)
3) What do you think about ALA with and without the LNG approvals in place over the next year and beyond?

Thanks for all you do

Q: re: TOU Tourmaline

Your thoughts please on 2nd 1/4 results and CEO Mike Rose' comments?

And with that in mind, I sold 50% of my position in TOU @ $56 early July. Everyone loves this company and I am seriously considering repurchasing my position after the recent price correction. Would you consider this a wise move?

Thanks for all you do

Q: I'm holding PHK (US) in my TFSA to get US dollars for travelling. Given interest rates will probably rise am I wise to hold or look at another high yielding US stock. If so what would you suggest? I'm not necessarily looking for growth. Also if I hang on to PHK how do you think it will react over a time period if rates only rise fractionally? As always, great answers to (my dumb) questions.
