Q: Hello 5i Team
I would appreciate knowing if holders of the Baytex Recipts BTE.R when converted to BTE at the end of June 2014 will receive dividends back to when the receipts were paid for or will the holders only start receiving monthly dividends when the conversion take place? Thanks for the excellent reporting you are doing.

Q: Knight Therapeutics announced receipts on Thursday (which I don't) understand and the price also took a dip on the same Thursday. I was hoping to soon take a position in GUD. What does the receipt announcement mean in terms i can understand and would it be better to wait to initiate a position?

Q: Based on the April 17 market action it seems market players are tuned in to 5i's report on Amaya, AYA, issued the same day as a big pop. Just kidding, but what it does illustrate is how volatility can be a friend as well as a foe. Bear in mind, to add to John's recent wisdoms on this stock, that without volatility, the two sided coin, you wouldn't make any money in the market, so you might as well buy a GIC if you can't embrace this concept. Also, most stocks present buying opportunities when the faint of heart swoon. I can provide lots of recent B.O. examples with 5i portfolio stocks, too.

I love the new report card. At a glance I can see where a company's strengths and weaknesses are, and in Amaya's case it seems they need to buckle down and earn some dough. I get the D minus rating on 5 year EPS growth but I have trouble getting my head around minus 253% which I believe is an annualized return over the 5 years. My knowledge of accounting isn't very extensive but I believed that minus 100% was about as bad as it could get, and if you're going to break it down over 5 years you get something like minus 20% annually, less if compounded. So is this a typo or am I out to lunch? Also TD has current ROE as minus 13% so over the 5 years was this a positive figure that has shifted to the negative and is the trend down? Thanks, J.

Q: This is in response to Ronald's question re: an earnings calendar source. Both Scotia iTrade and TD Waterhouse (I'm sure others offer them as well) have a research/quotes tab within the account. Click the tab and a calendar with expected earnings releases, dividend issues, stock splits etc. will come up.

Q: Hello All,

I am confused by the. Continued weakness of Argonaut Gold (AR) and was attempting to understand the relative valuation. How does AR compare to a company like BTO? Are the relatively the same size companies? Do they 'deserve' to have comparable share prices? Would it be fair to expect AR to fall to the $3.00 range? Finally, which company would you consider to be a stronger buy and hold prospect?

Thank you for your help!

Q: Natural Gas producers like Peyto and Painted Pony have had a really good run of late. Do you feel there is still a fair bit of upside?

What are the leading factors that drive natural gas exploration and producing stocks? Is it more than just the unit price of the product? Do you feel location of the primary production plays a part? i.e. Sask. vs. NW BC etc.

Thanks for such a great service!

Q: Hello Team,

Domestic O & G is doing very well right now. In my research and DD I came across Raise Production Inc (RPC.V). They claim to have a proprietary method that increases the flow rate of horizontal wells. Their recent experimental well would say they are onto something - resulting in a spike in share price. What do you think?

Q: You stated in an earlier post that very rarely does a stock that dips under .10c ever make a comeback. I would like your opinion of CEZ -- Calmena ( which apparently was started by some heavyweights from PD and has been in the tank almost since the ipo) and TME-- Temex ( which is supposedly well situated in the Quebec mining camp) Thanx Robbie
