Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I am currently an owner of American Tower (AMT.US). I bought this sub $60 based on people I know in the business who believe the demand for Tower Space will be strong over the next foreseeable future. There are a lot of naysayers out there on this company but I cannot find anything in their financials or results that would cause me concern. Am I missing something. I like both the growth and yield on this one.

thanks for all you do!

Q: Hello Peter and 5i Team,
I have a general investment question regarding interest rates and how they affect the market sectors.
I have done done a significant amount of reading and some research on the topic ( not to mention office debates) but find conflicting information.
I know this is a complex topic but I'm sure some of the members would like to read your perspectives on the affects of increased interest rates on the market sectors such as the Financials and 'Life' insurances companies.
Thanks,
Paul

Q: Hi Peter and Team, I have recently heard a number of analysts/portfolio managers comment on Surge Energy as having an unsustainable model due to their strategy of acquiring assets past their prime , with high decline rates. The preferred model would be one such as Crescent Point Energy which owns assets where future production has more upside. Could I please have your thoughts.

Thanks, David

Q: QHR Corp/Technologies
Hi Peter and Team,
QHR has been continually growing, just had great Q2 results, has had insider buying more than 200,000 shares in the past week (as shown in Can. Insider - marker tab)and stock is still declining and trading sideways for some time now. Stock should be continually going up, am I missing something? Would be great to get your opinion on the Q2 results, and you overall opinion of this company and perhaps why stock hasn't moved up.
Thanks,
Brenda

Q: What do you think of Warren Buffet's investment into Tim Hortons & Burger King. Is this a good time to get into BRK.B? Or, should I wait for a possible market pullback to make the stock 5%-10% cheaper? Is there is discount or premium to NAV on this stock?

Q: Hello 5i,
I’m looking to better my portfolio incrementally, in the financial sector, I have three companies which I like, Mercury General Corp (MCY), Oritani Financial Corp (ORIT) and Old Republic International Corp (ORI). I have cash to buy one of these companies and will sell Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd (ANZBY) to buy the other. Does this make sense from a long term perspective? I was looking at the Beta of ANZBY and thought I could do without that.
Thanks,

Earning per share first quarter of 0.69 seems to bode well for a stock priced in the $9.00 range. Your insight is much appreciated.

Q: AR
Hey Peter,
What happened with Argonaut gold on Friday? Share price spiked and then the stock was halted on the TSE. The price did come down but still closed up 7 %. Just wondering if I should take by 13% profit now or is something exciting about to happen.
Thanks.

Q: I am over 50 and am looking for income. I was thinking of the following names: ET (yield: 3.659), VNR (yield: 6.211) and SPB (yield:4.043). However, it seems to me that ET and VNR are not very liquid (Volume: 42,429 and 32,812 respectively). Would you regard it as an issue? Which of the 3 names would your recommend? In your view, has SPB got room for growth too?
Thanks.
