Q: TFI/CSS
About 4 weeks ago I was preparing to add a position of CSS into my non registered portfolio. This is about the time the TFI take over came to light. My question now is should I wait for the dust to settle? Depending on outcome would TFI be a better choice for this sector, and if given stock price would now be the time to add a position?

Thanks

Phil

Q: On your research reports, how are you calculating the dividend (expressed as a percentage)? I am assume that this is some kind of yield calculation? Also, in the '5i Report Card' sidebar on the left hand side, would you consider adding dividend growth as a criteria?

Q: Just a follow-up thought to the Legacy question, investors should be reminded that the price they paid for any security is irrelevant to the decison of whether to hold or not. "Hoping" to break-even is not the way to think about a security. Instead, the fair value means everything. The stock doesn't know what you have paid for it, and it shouldn't matter because the price is what the price is. I think you have done a good job of mentioning this in the past and instead focusing on whether the company is still a good buy/hold/sell going forward.

Q: TFI TransForce calling! TFI phoned me Friday after market close. I missed the call but they left a message asking me to give them a call. (AS if!) This call came the day TFI hit an all time high and CSS was stuck in the mud. Insulting. I am taking heart that this might be an omen that not all is going as planned for the buyout as I own CSS and not TFI.

Q: Greetings!My question is about LEG; Legacy Oil + Gas. My former financial advisor recommended this for my non-registered account. Price paid: $12.45. Price today: $7.37. This puts me in a negative position, down $2,029.00 or 40.73 percent. Is there any hope I will ever break even with this stock in the next year or two? Should I just take sell and take a loss? BTW, I've read all the posts about this stock and did some Googling for additional insights. My objective is growth or growth with a growing dividend. (I realize LEG does not pay dividends.) Thank you.

Q: WPK is one of the stocks in my portolio which I hold in part for its stability. It's not the kind of stock I expect to drop 5% on no news on an otherwise okay trading day. Is there some news?

Q: As I write this, AVO is up 4.75% today. With no announcements, one must check the charts and doing so, I see no reason to buy at this point. Prices are well below the downtrend line, is still below the 20 day MA (but is approaching it. Volumes are about even with the 100 day MA. Frankly, considering Avigilon's propensity for volatility, I will wait for it to muster significant volume to the upside before I'll consider a re-entry.
