Q: After this recent reup does SYM still seem attractive? Ideally, what would be a good entry point for this company (if any)? For a growth investor is it a good idea to replace ATS:CA for SYM?

Q: When NA took over CWB I was concerned that there may be integration issues given the size of the acquisition, the different geography, and possible corporate cultures. Similar to when Empire took on Safeway in 2013. Are we comfortable that any such issues are well behind NA by now?
Thanks as always.

Q: Hi.What is your opinion on HAI?
What percentage does Evertz still own in HAI?
You think with military spending going up HAI could benefit?
Also is there still a big chance that ET will takeover HAI?

Q: Hi 5i
Is it the business these guys are in or is it just the people can’t get a success fire lit under this company and stock?
I don’t know what my total return is since buying as a 5i stock years ago, but I’m clearly not a great allocator of capital. This selection did offer income but at the cost of share price.
Analysts are finding positives but year over year things are just blah.
If they sold the business to large US Tech player, would it fetch much more than current share price?
Thanks

Q: Dear Peter et al:
I request you to take off your fundamental analyst hat and put on your options trader hat!
If I were to write (Sell) cash secured puts, which of these companies do you fancy. Will keep July 25th exp as a constant. I usually keep the delta between 15-25. But I know this changes rapidly. On a side note do you give importance to implied volatility?
Feel free to add symbols that YOU fancy for such a trade if you don't like my symbols!!
Many thanks in advance. Happy Canada Day!

Q: Good morning, I am presently down about 30% and wondering whether to just let it be, and wait for a comeback at some point, or sell and deploy funds elsewhere, and if so, what might you suggest as an alternative, keeping in mind that if I sell and invest elsewhere, I would need to make about 50% just to get back to breakeven on my original OXY investment. Thanks
Q: I have held BCE for about 3 years now. Cost of $20K and it's worth $13.5K now. Down $6,500... 34%. Wondering if it makes sense to sell half of my BCE (about $7K) and buy $7K worth of Telus to try and leverage any potential gains across both rather than just one. I guess, wondering if splitting my investment across two of these telco's makes sense ... and a brief reason as to why (or why not) I should do it.
Q: The outlook for copper and the insider buying & ownership of Highland Copper(HI). Is this company's balance sheet trending in a good direction? Basically is their longer term outlook from what you see more of a positive outlook or negative outlook?
Thanks

Q: I am interested in buying ETFs for precious metals. I have read that it is important to ensure that the ETF company holds the metal physically and does not lend it.
I am surprised at the difference in MERs amongst popular funds. For example, for platinum, PPLT is very popular. Its MER however is 0.6% whilst the less popular iShares SPLT is 0.2%.
Do you see any reason why SPLT would be riskier? What words do I need to look for to ensure that the ETF physically holds the metal and does not lend it out?
Thank you for this excellent advice.

Q: I switched jobs and am looking to convert my pension into a lira. Want to put into a low maintenance type of portfolio of ETFs or one balanced growth etf. What would you recommend I consider for a balanced portfolio with 20+ year horizon.
Q: I would be interested in your professional opinion on covered call ETF's within a non registered account for a duo objective of maintaining principal and generating an income. I have ample growth investments in registered accounts. One draw back I see from. this approach is the tracking of ACB for tax purposes etc, which you don't have in registered accounts, If you have 2-3 recommendations you feel comfortable with, that's appreciated.
Thanks
As a tag on to my recently submitted question about covered call, what is your opinion and recommendations within in an RRSP?

Q: I’ve invested in a mining stock called Almonty that has been extremely successful as of late. It’s up over 300 per cent in the last six months. This week it’s been on a terrific run.
The company is just about to mine the highly sought tungsten in South Korea. The price of tungsten continues to go up and it’s in great demand esp by the US government. The plan is to move headquarters to the US and to fulfill contracts with a number of nations. There’s multiple years of this mineral to be mined as well as molybdenum.
What’s not to like about this burgeoning company that appears to be on the threshold of a very successful run?

Q: can I get your thoughts on GPC ? Is it worth buying or is there something better for the sector ?
Q: Hi, I have CPX and have considered switching in the past to FTS or H , because of your ranking. However in the last 5 years it has doubled in price and has a great dividend. Hydro One seems to be keeping pace but has a much lower dividend. Just wondering what I’m missing and would you be more comfortable with a switch to H or FTS. Thanks
