Q: I know what something is worth is what someone is prepared to pay for it. However, Morguard seems to be a very good company, well run etc. Yet it trades well below asset value. I have seen previous answer but wonder what would be a catalyst to propel the share price higher. I am a long term holder but the stock has been in idle for quite some time. Thanks, Bill

Q: My wife turns 71 on 31st December and this year, we converted her small RRSP to a RRIF with only three investments, namely Patient Home Monitoring PHP, Apple AAPL.US and National Grid NGG.
PHM is down 53% and pays no dividend; AAPL is down 16% and is currently paying 1.9% (though less for our investment), and NGG.US is up 46% and currently pays a 4.68% dividend with payments semi annually.
The dividend payments are not high enough to support the minimum withdrawals, so I am looking for the answer.
I have been considering culling PHM for a while in order to create cash, but am always teased by the fact that it seems to be on the cusp of re-discovery, as it is now.
AAPL.US has also been a big disappointment and the dividend is small and the price has remained within the same depressed range for a while.
NGG.US, although it hasn't lost money for me, at least is providing a reasonable dividend.
Any suggestions?

Q: Hello 5i!
Down 37% on PEY, and have a small position on this one, do you still consider Peyto one of the better companies within the oil and gas? Would you recommend to add some at the current level not considering asset allocation? I am a long term investor, well diversified portfolio (have quite a few of 5i suggested small cap O&G) and can handle risk.
Thanks!

Q: Peter and Team,
How does an ETF like RQE work in terms of the expiry. For example, I believe RQE has a maturity or expiry of November 2017. Does this mean that, on that day, the fund "disappears" and you get the NAV returned to your account and you will have collected interest along the way?
I am trying to find this info in the RBC materials but I don't know if I am having a dumb day or what but I can't seem to pull up the prospectus for this series of funds (RQD, RQE, etc.)
Some insight on this and your thoughts on changing a position in HFR into half RQD and RQE would be appreciated.

Q: Seems to be a lot of activity lately regarding this company eg,
The Corporation has also been informed by Promigas S.A. E.S.P. that due to operational delays in the expansion of the transportation capacity of the gas pipeline between Jobo and Cartagena, the new pipeline will begin operations with an additional capacity of 19 MMscfpd by December 30, 2015, total additional capacity of 50 MMscfpd by January 30, 2016, and total additional capacity of 65 MMscfpd by mid-February 2016. The Corporation’s current and continuing production of approximately 25 MMscfpd will not be affected by the delays related to the pipeline expansion, as this gas is sold via a separate pipeline. The Jobo gas processing plant expansion and Clarinete field tie-in remain on schedule to be completed prior to the end of November, and the Oboe-1 well is currently scheduled to spud mid-November following the completion of rig maintenance.
Could this be a good time to take a position

Q: Your thoughts on this company going forward. They have had a nice move leading up to joining the TSX. Thanks for the great service and Happy New Year.
Q: Hi, I bought sylogist in early fall and am up twenty percent. With the recent management buys and news on this pilot they are running things look really good at the company. Do you agree? What is your outlook on the stock for 2016?
I have a 2 percent weighting and was thinking of increasing it to 4 percent now that the stock is doing well. Is this an approach you would agree with or should I just stick with the 2% I currently own?
Best,
Carla

Q: Thanks for a great year of service - with your great stock picks and advice I am well ahead of the markets with lots of winners.
As allowed I will add $5500 to my TFSA January 1st. I am thinking of adding to positions I already hold in my TFSA - either adding to MSI or CSW.a which would still keep them well below 3% of overall portfolio. I find both stocks a bit confusing as both are steady eady dividend companies but both are down over the last few months - Corby's considerably for the year for some reason - down despite another special dividend. I believe both companies have very safe dividends but wondering which would you add to given some sort of catalyst that might take their stock price higher. I realize this is a tough call given in very different (but stable) types of markets.
Much thanks

Q: Hi Guys!
Please could you let me know which companies would benefit from a depreciating CAD (companies that have most of their costs in CAD but derive most of their revenues from other countries and earn other currencies)?? Also, do you think this rational should be good to get reasonable returns over the next 2 - 3 years. Thanks.

Q: How would you view the current valuation of the rails compared to their prospects? Union Pacific specifically has been beaten up badly it seems based on coal volumes. Any favourites or maybe hold with exposure through Berkshire? Thanks!
