Q: Hey folks, I've held DCI for a while now because I have confidence in their management, but despite three good quarters the stock price just won't move much. Could I get your comments on their latest quarterly numbers, and whether you would hang in there with this stock. Thanks.

Q: AQN announced earnings on Friday. Judging from the sell-off, they apparently underwhelmed the street. However, reading them over myself, they seem to me to be more or less as expected. I still see a compnay that is growing a dividend (now in $USD!) which is reasonably well-covered with cash flow. Emera appears to have some faith in the company as they recently increased their share ownership. I have been a holder for several years. In your opinion, was the earning report a red flag or more likely just a bump in the road ?

Cheers
John

Q: I have small positions in CFL (-30%) and OR (-2%) that I am thinking selling. I am also looking at increasing my positions for CHW, DR, HWO, PRW and KLS. I am a long term investor and can handle risk.

Looking at the basket above, do you recommend selling CFL and/or OR to invest in CHW, DR, HWO, PRW and/or KLS ?

Can you also rank CHW, DR, HWO, PRW and KLS for long term growth ?

Thanks !

Q: Peter & Co. I am building a basket of small cap bioteck stocks. I currently have modest positions in Cipher (DND), Knight (GUD) and ProMetic (PLI). I am lookin to add a couple more small positions to this group. I am considering Nova Research (NRI) and Intellipharmaceutics (I). Do you consider these two companies as appropriate selections for an investor with high risk tolerance or would you suggest other names?
With appreciation for your great servicee.

Q: I am a retired Dividend-Income investor and need to bump up my asset allocation in the Industrial-Tech sector.

I have narrowed it down to WSP and ET from your Income portfolio. ET looks good but seems fairly illiquid. WSP appears to have better metrics than ET (P/BV, P/Sales, upside based on Globefund summaries), but the beta is a little higher. Additionally, RBC has WSP as overvalued.

I like to give a stock time to run and have a healthy dividend. What are your thought on buying WSP vs ET at this time?

Thanks for your great service.

Q: I currently hold a significant number of shares in this company and it represents approx. 10% of my portfolio. I am down 47% and am wondering if it is time to throw in the towel or double down. My understanding is that Argonaut is a low cost producer with little or no debt, but their share price keeps plummeting.

I realize that this company represents too large a proportion of my portfolio but believe much of what AR is experiencing is sector related. but I would appreciate you comments on the company in general and their financial in particular.

Thanks,

DON

Q: This is more of a comment than a question, although I would be interested in knowing what drove the action yesterday - extremely unusual for any stock. It started with a huge gap down, no doubt in response to their earnings. Then, wow! It took off with volumes 5 times the 100 day MA. My first response was, as other correspondents, to sell. But the four analysts available on the Scotia iTrade website are all on the positive side, agreeing with you at 5i. And since I am not a trader but an investor, I am holding on. Something positive seems to be in the works.
