Q: Good morning to all at 5i team!

I'm a novice trader and I hope my question is not too obvious.
I like to watch the "analyst estimates" on the Wall Street Journal website and I wonder how realible those estimates are and who provides them ?
Fo example, the average target price for BIN (Progressive Waste Solutions) according to the Wall Street Journal (aka their data provider) is set to 31.38 (see http://on.wsj.com/1gH1FaE).
This is lower than the current price at 35.6.
What's your though on such estimates ?

Thanks !
François

Q: The influential Barron's magazine wrote about this company recently with some specific concerns.
1. This is no longer a growth company. It deserves only a market multiple for a subprime lender which is 1X book value and not 1.5X which means a 35% lower stock price.
2. They have razor thin margin to protect against a possible downturn in the overheated Canadian housing market with salaries not rising.
If these concerns are valid. I have a feeling the bears will pile back in. What is your view? Thank you.

Good morning
What is wrong with Northwest Real Estate investment Trust? I thought it would be a stable business with long lease high quality tenants however I am down 32% now on my 1% position.
Are their buildings now worth a lot less?
Would you now consider the dividend still safe or would I be better to take my lumps, sell and move on to Chartwell which has a lower dividend but I think you consider a much better company for a long hold.
Regards....... Paul K

Q: Hi there

Corby is off about 10% from its highs earlier this year. I don't see any significant news. Just wondering if that is because of perceived interest rate increases coming later this year? I was thinking of adding to my small position to bring it up to a 5% weighing for income. Any thoughts on the company and this move?

Q: Not sure what happened, I submitted the following question last week (can't remember exactly which date, sorry) but still no answer, in case it was missed, here it is again:

We have ala, arx, cos, cpg, sgy, wcp in our energy allocation, currently approx 7% of portfolio, besides ala & arx which we held a few years already, others are down 20-60%, we are not too concerned, plan to ride out the downturn as is.

Just wondering in your view, is there any better energy names you would recommend to swap for better gain during upturn and at the same time, log some capital loss for future gain?

Thanks

Q: There is possibility that next year there will be a minority Ndp/Liberal government in Ottawa. As a result it could be detrimental to the Canadian dollar, banks & telcos,etc.
Although the U.S dollar now is over $1.30 is it too late to switch say 50% of one's holdings in the above to the U. S. ie sell 50% of Bce Royal buy At&T &J P Morgan
