Q: re: SW Sierra Wireless

Lots of positive things being reported recently. Has anything you have seen as of late generated additional optimism regarding SW moving forward since your July 2 answer? And would you consider SW a buy or "hold off and wait and see?" SW bucking the trend up 5.89% so far today.

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hello:
I have a fair number of shares in Bell Aliant. With the recent announcement that BCE is going to take over complete ownership I do not know how this will affect my investments in Bell Aliant. Should I continue to hold or sell now. BCE has not announced to my knowledge how this would affect Aliant shares owners.
I would appreciate your opinion and knowledge on this matter.
Thank You;
Duane Campbell

Q: BA.US Boeing

Recently read an article comparing Boeing & GE. Boeing appeared to have the advantage across the board according to the writer.

I saw you answer for Lloyd back on July 2. Since then BA is down 6%. Does this effect the metrics you provided Lloyd in your July 2 answer? And has you opinion on BA changed regarding Capital Gains in any way with the much reduced valuation?

Thanks for all you do

Q: I am a long term dividend focused investor---I am looking at two utilities, GEI (gibson energy)and CPX (capital power). They have wuperior 10 year dividend growth according to todays globeinvestor article. Would you be comfortable with these as a dividend investment in a long term diversified portfolio for a person 5 years from retirement, as compared to the bigger more well know names enbridge, transcanada and inter pipeline?

Thanks for all you do.

Q: I own NA Palladium PDL or PAL.US. I am very nervous about this company. I have heard rumours of bankruptcy. I tried calling the company but no-one would answer the phone.

What is your opinion? The metal prices are not bad at this level.

Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
Quick thoughts on Ocwen Financial, OCN.US
Read Answer Asked by Graham on August 05, 2014
Q: Hi 5i team,

I currently own Black Diamond Group and I am looking to switch into First Service Corp. For a 2-3 year time frame, without considering sector diversification, would you see more upside potential with First Service or Black Diamond Group? Both are in very different industries and are both in your model portfolio, with similar ratings, B and B+ respectively. First Service seems to have stock momentum at the moment whereas Black Diamond has been on a downtrend.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Regards,
