Q: Thanks, 5i Team for all your help, Owned Davis and Henderson DH back in the old income trust days and was thinking of revisiting, primarily for income but hoping for some modest growth. When I looked at its financials, however, I was concerned with the hi level of goodwill on the books. Then I also checked RSI (Rogers Sugar) and alas they also carry a heavy goodwill asset. I can see this with a Coca-Cola, but . . .
Q: I was using MMp.un as a combo gold/income play, but see it's share price hit a new low. Is it owrth holding or should I take my capital loss and go elsewhere?
Do you think any gold miner is owrth holding - AR / SSL?
Q: Thank you, Peter and staff, for providing what I would label as an "essential service" to those interested in the world of investment. As a relatively new investor, your reports and replies to member questions have been invaluable in helping me make more informed decisions and learning about the market - thank you. Question: Your reports and replies often refer to "management", and how important they are. What consitutes a management team that receives your seal of approval, and where does one find such information (other than 5i Research)? Would you care to give an example of a good management team in some, or all, of the following Canadian sectors: Banks, Transportation, Telecoms, Pipelines, Metals & Mining, Manufacturing, Information Technology, Consumer Goods and Health Care. Many thanks. John.
Q: Hello 5i Team. Another question on Zenyatta ZEN. Here is article from Finacial post. http://seekingalpha.com/instablog/449647-tradingchief/1526391-zenyatta-ventures-rarest-form-of-graphite-at-the-highest-purity-levels-recorded
I heard yesterday that they had over 2m warrants exercised 1.5m of these were shorted and 500k bought. Same again today so they now have 5m in the bank.
Would the shorting of these warrants be holding the SP back and once all warrants exercised we could maybe expect forward movement?
Thanks
Don
Q: would you agree that [dol] dollarama is an excellent medium and long term investment, since they do well in good and tough times in the economy, thanks?
Q: SU just reported a loss, the first in 3 and a half years. Apparently, this would result from the differentials for Canadian crude oil. Would this be indicative that the oil sands sector should be avoided somewhat until the pipeline issues are resolved?
Q: Hi, What is your opinion on SU going forward? I don't own it but because of today slide should i be dipping into?? Lot of analyst still like it and recommend buy.

Peter are the ratings on your Jan PDF report redone for the report or the same as they were on the report date? If they are the same will you be redoing them in another pdf?
Also what is your strategy on being fully invested vs cash - do you try to time corrections or bear market downturns? what % cash do you like to keep?
Tks.
Q: Welcome back all ... srry to flog a dead horse but what do I do with my Poseidon shares? Will this bounce back even a little? Also does MMP share price bottom out somewhere or are they another plug? TY Peter.
Q: Peter,
In praise (at last) of a very strait forward comment of their dismal drop of share price, Gold canyon says this: ....Management has recently engaged in significant consultation with Gold Canyon shareholders, investment brokers, analysts, institutional traders and investment bankers regarding potential contributing factors to the Company's share price weakness and large trading volumes and believes the following may be attributed, at least in part, to the recent downward pressure and larger trading volumes in the market for Gold Canyon shares:
Market participants have indicated that, due to investor fatigue with the mining sector, both retail and institutional, and prolonged mining sector weakness, resource money managers are experiencing higher than normal redemption challenges in their funds and managed accounts, causing them to sell shares to raise the cash needed to make redemption payments. With respect to Gold Canyon's shares in particular, the continued recent demand has resulted in bids to buy at reasonable valuation levels, providing the sellers with better liquidity than is the case with many other mining issuers, and indeed than had historically been the case with Gold Canyon until very recently.
Gold Canyon had historically issued a large number of "flow-through" common shares which, because of the associated tax treatment in Canada for qualified flow-through mining expenditures undertaken by the Company, carry a much lower cost base than regular shares. The lower cost base allows resource money managers to sell these shares at prices that, despite declining market prices generally, are still profitable, providing more attractive optics than selling at a loss....
Now,long after 5i research confirmed the dangers of convertible debentures, one company is doing the same with Flow Through. A rare public press release indeed (and also totally self serving of course but why not).
What do you think? And where does that leave the value of the company stock (I do not own it)
PUBLISH ONLY if you think it is worth it for your subscriber's community
Q: Further to the recent question regarding SU and VET (going from the former to the latter), should the same question be put to you with respect to CNQ and COS versus VET, would you still recommend transferring to VET ? For the same reasons ? Comparatively of course, CNQ and COS are also cheaper, and COS provides a good dividend. Both CNQ and COS face the 'oil sands' issues, but COS gets a much better price for its synthetic oil.
