Q: Cummins appears to have a strong balance sheet and excellent dividend growth but it's down quite a bit in price. Would CMI-N be a good long term value buy or is this one a falling knife?

Q: I have held this company for some time and I'm down significantly on it. I lost money on it back in the day when it really was a tech company. I'm a slow learner. The stock hasn't done anything in the last 5 years except loose value. Over the last month it is down almost 8%, 16% over the last 6 months and 26.5% over the last year. In 5 years it has lost 45% of its value.

I'm not sure about its business model. To me it is bordering on extortion and I'm not sure how much growth there is going forward. The company put itself up for sale and no one would touch it. The only ones making money on this company are the lawyers.

I've lost patience and am going to sell WIN. I guess your metrics make it a 'B' on your report but I don't understand keeping it in the 'Income Portfolio'. The dividend looks very attractive, however, the decline in share value has more than eaten that up.

Q: Would you consider these three reasons sufficient to justify a switch from Pembina Pipeline (PPL) to Enbridge Income Fund (ENF):

(1) ENF's lower valuation on a p/e basis
(2) ENF's recent dip due to its equity offering
(3) ENF's fairly aggressive (and seemingly predictable) dividend policy

I have a pretty good capital gain on PPL but I also have some capital losses I can use to offset Pembina's gain. Do you think its possible/likely ENF can outperform PPL by around 10%?

Lastly, is either company more likely to be to be an acquisition target?

Many thanks.

John

Q: Hi,

I am thinking of buying either TD or BNS for my RRSP to buy and hold. I saw that you recommended BNS on BNN the other day so I assume you like it more than TD. Can you briefly tell me why and how the two compare on a valuation basis. I like TD for the US exposure.

Thank you!

Q: Hi Peter and Team!! I would value your opinion on SOX as a long term buy. Cheers, Tamara

Q: I agree that it is a great business but I would appreciate more details on the valuation metrics you look at to evaluate the company. You mention that it is cheap but I see it at 24 times LTM earnings of 6.57 per share. I find that to be on the high end of it's historical range. Maybe I am missing something here ? Is there a better metric to look at ? Thank you!!
