Q: Yikes. Contrans (CSS) is down significantly today on triple the average volume, and I'm down over 18% in that stock alone. Will it recover in the near term or should I sell now and swallow the losses? TFSA so no tax loss advantage. I realize the stock is cyclical, but WOW. Also, does the increased volume and slight uptick in Amaya (AYA) give us some indication of what their numbers will be on Monday? Thanks,

Q: Hello Peter and the 5i Team,
My wife and I are in a fortunate position to have stable defined-benefit pension plans, but likely have been too conservative in our investing by maintaining a 60-40 weighting of stocks to fixed-income. We were looking at our large holding of the CLF ETF, and calculated an annualized return of just 2.45%. My question is this: What low-volatility equity/equities would you purchase if the CLF shares were sold? I was looking at your recent article that discussed DOL, GS, NWC, NCC.A and ADW.A, but perhaps there are others you could recommend. Love your service; wish I had joined earlier!

Q: Do you have any ideas around the spike in trading volume in Alarm Force yesterday? Could it be attributable to takeover rumors? A takeover possibility was noted in your report last year.

Q: Any new thoughts on GBV? Do you think that it has hit bottom, and this could be an opportune time to acquire shares at a low price?

Q: I am thinking of increasingly my 2% weight in Glentel (GLN) to get more consumer exposure. Or are there other stocks that I should consider? Are there any plans to update the company's report, the last one was January 2012? Thank you for very helpful service. Paul

Q: Hi Peter, I hold BCE in several accounts, and it has done very well. However it is becoming a disproportionately large holding in these accounts, so I wish to sell some in exchange for Telus. Should I wait until Telus has a bit of a pullback, or do the telcos tend to move up and down together and thus it does not really matter. Thank you.
