Q: I 've read that you are recommending CDZ and XDV for dividend paying ETFs. The yield on XEI exceeds the yields of CDZ and XDV. As well, fees charged for XEI are less. Would you also recommend XEI ?

Q: Reported earnings for the quarter of.13/share. Has cash of almost $400 million or close to $2.00/share. Full year earnings estimate of .48 cents per share. Therefore can one say that it trades at less than 4 times earnings which seems to be very cheap. Has very low all in costs of about $1.07 per pounds. Has a good dividend for a metal company. What is holding this back, is it future copper prices?
Q: Hi Peter and team, I have some unallocated USD in an unregistered account, TFSA and RRSP. I have quite a bit USD tech so would like your recommendation on some solid growth stocks, dividend payer for the rrsp would be good. I'm OK with a Risker stock in the TFSA.

Q: Peter, Since sin stocks, amaya, great canadian gaming, gamehost are all doing well, I own a position in century casinos on new york exchange. I am underwater for now but like the growth prospects and they keep winning awards for best run casino as well as running casinos on cruise ships and they are building in calgary which will include racehorsing. Can you tell me how much insiders own of this company. Because it is not followed very well, I feel that if all things go well this is a company that could surprise on the upside and start to be followed more closely.

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
I have available cash in a non-registered account which I will not need to access for several years. My goal is long-term capital gains WITHOUT any other income along the way. Currently, I hold non-dividend payers TOU, AVO and GUD in the account. Which one or two of these would you feel best about for a solid long-term gain? Also, if I were to add two other non-dividend paying shares for the long-term, can you please suggest two? PS. Any explanation for the wild (10%) ride on DHX today? Thanks for the terrific service!

Q: Hi Peter and team,
What do you think of Canadian Energy Services and Techonology? Is it worth investing in this company at this time? I am a long term investor looking mainly for growth, but I am not against companies that also pay as nice dividend.
Thanks in advance for your insights.

Q: Do you agree that earnings multiples can be higher in a low interest rate environment due to a lower discount rate on future earnings? Hhow do today's P/Es in Canada and the US compare with P/Es in a more normal interest rate environment? How substantial is the risk of lower multiples when interest rates normalize?
Thanks,

Q: Peter,
If there were 12 important items you reviewed of a company before buying a stock, where would ROE rank in this list as its level of importance? What might influence your decision to buy a company despite having a sub-par ROE?

Q: I have this stock in my TFSA, can't imagine why. Down over 40%. Should I just throw in the towel, and hopefully purchase another company having the potential to recoup some of this loss. Suggestions? Doesn't have to be this sector, don't care. Or is there some remote chance of recovery for TGL within a year or so.
Thanks
Thanks
