Q: Regarding MEQ. Could I get your thoughts on this company. If I recall correctly its a play on multi family housing in western Canada. How does their valuation look against say Boardwalk. Why don't they pay a dividend? If they were to pay a dividend on the same payout as boardwalk what would the yield look like.

Thanks, Rob

Q: Hi Peter! You have often made the point that every trade has an opposing view. If I hold a mutual fund or ETF that is currency hedged does that mean that someone on the other side is betting against my decision to hedge the fund or ETF. I lack a proper understanding of this situation and would appreciate your clarification. Ian

Q: Hello Peter and the 5I team

A Bnn guest brought this company (ISV) to my attention. Apparently this company has a monopoly in the province of Saskatchewan for registry information service's. It has plenty of cash on hand, a 5.4% dividend. What are the pro's and cons of this business? Where would the growth come from? Do you see it buying other such business's in other provinces? Any info you have on this company would be greatly appreciated. I am wondering if this company would be a good fit in a income driven portfolio???

Thanks

Q: I am curious what your current thoughts are on ABM given the year end reporting that just occurred last week? There were some interesting comments that could be looked at in different ways with respect to potential for litigation with Syncrude finally getting resolved (or not) and also the possibility of a buy out scenario being in the mix now as well. The company had a fairly significant loss reported (over $7M) and yet the shares surprisingly didn't go down after the news release and actually gained some relatively minor ground. In your view, is this because the share price is so depressed already or possibly because some of the a/n considerations - potential buy out and/or resolution with Syncrude - may be factored in or maybe the worst days are behind them with oil starting to show signs of recovery? Any thoughts you can offer on this company would be appreciated as I'm considering selling some or all of my position that I hold. Thanks.

Q: Although the market has had a good run lately, many companies are simply beating reduced expectations. I saw an analyst on BNN this morning note that top line revenues will be down about 7%. The economy is coasting along and showing no signs of a big jump. My intuition tells me that this may be a good year to "sell in May and go away." Or at least lighten up. Since you rely on more than intuition, I would be interested in your opinion on this.
