Q: Hi 5i,
WCP seems to be stuck in the doldrums compared to other 'similar' companies in the oil patch. Am i correct in thinking it's lagging its peers lately and, if so, do you have ideas as to why?
And do you think it might bounce - a little or a lot - anytime soon?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: Takeda is near its 52 week lows, with most of the drop in the past few months. Is this a potential buy opportunity (I don't currently hold this stock) or are there some major issues or concerns to be aware of?

Q: Found this the ither day, looked to see if any questions posted recently on it, latest from last Jan., how do feeling about them now, are they worth starting new small position, how would the fair in rising interest rate environment?

Q: It would appear circumstance for the Canadian Banks looks good for their share prices to rise. If their price increases are not due to speculations or a bubble forming but strong fundamentals, could I get your opinion of how the Canadian banks may deal with their rising share prices? Would they just let them rise until circumstances change, or would they consider splitting shares?

Q: I have enough cash to top up either KXS or DOO. Once topped up, DOO would be about 4.25% and KXS would be about 3.8%. I note that KXS is in both the Balanced and Growth portfolios, but I don't know if that should give me more confidence in the company. And in an answer to an earlier question ranking top-up order and target prices, you gave the KXS target ($300) and the DOO target ($140), but in rank top-up order DOO was #3 and the KXS order was #5. I realize I'm over thinking this whole thing, and I should just pick one because both are good companies, but I get stuck when trying to decide. Both are in TFSA, so it won't be long before I can top up with new money. But any help you can give now to un-stick me, would be much appreciated. Whichever one you pick, I will stop ruminating and act.

Q: AYM just initiated a dividend and the stated policy is to distribute 30% to 50% of free cash flow. Copper has been identified as a key component in the "greenification" of energy supply. What's your opinion of buying a full position in this stock for its future potential?
