Q: Greetings, I have not asked a question for a while now (2 years?); here it goes. This seems like a good time to deploy some of my cash held in my TFSA. Can you suggest a stock similar to KXS in potential? Maybe GUD, PHO? Thanks as ever.

Q: Hello Peter,

First off, great job on BNN yesterday! Your comments helped reinforce on focusing on the long term and not quarterly results. Just to recap your theme, I have listed the companies with let's say "quarterly miss" , however, with a market over reaction to the downside. Can you add or delete other companies that fit in this category?

Thank-you for being in our investment corner.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan,

We have a few dogs with the downturn but we also cashed in all of our high runners in early October. Your insight is invaluable in our portfolio management strategy and we understand the decision to buy or sell is in our control. On that note, we have been buyers the past two weeks when a stock drops 25%-40% (i.e. KXS today at $67.99). Can you comment on the following opportunities (BYD.UN, WSP, NFI, CCL.B, PBH, SHOP, ENHG) to purchase now with a 3-5 year hold inside RRSP's.
1. Please rank (based on your expertise) the above stocks from best to worst as of today to add to an RRSP.
2. Which of the above, if any, are considered "prime" to purchase today.

Thank you
Jerry and Debbie

Q: You have already responded about the earnings - my questions is more about strategy. Both these stocks broke their intermediate trends (using 200 MA) sometime ago (I think you called it a technical breakdown) . But both price and now earnings momentum are horrible why hold? I realize in the long term maybe okay but when things get this ugly (down more than 20% from their high) would it not it be better to allocate capital some where else - rather than have dead money? Thanks

Q: Both companies missed and are getting punished today. Would you consider them buying opportunities and would you add to existing half positions in either? Thanks

Q: Tough to perform better than market when stocks get crushed like this. Are these turns or over-reaction?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan,

For a long-term hold, is today a good entry point for PBH and CCL.B? If so, would you purchase a full or 1/2 position? If only one was to be purchased which has the best value and upside? One last question, are they best held in a TFSA or RRSP?
Please take the appropriate credits for our inquiry.
Cheers,
Jerry and Debbie

Q: Earnings 52 Week Low
Yield (%) Price % Diff
Badger Daylighting 6.7 22.37 15.90
CCL Industries 5.3 52.01 5.59
Methanex 8.7 62.30 28.27
I'm looking at buying one of the above companies. Based on today's stock price, I am torn between what is a more useful metric, Earning's Yield (MX) or 52 week low (CCL.B) or a combo approach (BAD) for an entry point. In your view which metric is more relevant for a 5 year investment horizon?

Q: Good morning,
I sold the above in early October to capture tax loss, and can rebuy next week. Are there any among these 4 that you would pass on for now.?
Thanks for the hand holding.

Q: Which of TCL and CCL do you prefer and why? I own both and am considering selling one and buying more of the other. Tax loss is not a consideration.
