Q: Comment on today's drop: Canaccord Genuity analyst Derek Dley said he’s “become more cautious” on the outlook for the retail division of Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. (CTC.A-T) given the “unfavourable movement” of the exchange rate and “continued” weakness in Alberta.
Ahead of the release of its third-quarter results on Nov. 12, Mr. Dley downgraded his rating for the stock to “hold” from “buy.”
“We are forecasting 1.0 per cent, 0.0 per cent and 4.0 per cent same-store sales growth at CTR, Mark’s and FGL Sports, respectively,” he said. We continue to expect Forzani sales to benefit from an increase in digital advertising spending, as recent digital spend test periods have generated double digit sales growth. Our forecast of flat [year-over-year] sales growth at Mark’s, which is considerably lower than the banner’s trailing 12 month average of 4.0 per cent, is founded on continued oil price-related economic weakness in Alberta, which we expect to negatively impact higher margin industrial wear. We note 17 per cent of Mark’s locations are situated within the province of Alberta.”

Q: Good day Peter and Team,
Further to your answer to Donald's question:
(1) If you were to rate CBL, what grade would you give it?
(2) Could CBL be considered a value play, since it's trading a bit above its 52-week low, and seems to be on an uptick?
(3) Is this the kind of income stock where one could collect a nice dividend while waiting for growth?
(4) What are the dangers in investing in CBL or similar stocks?
(5) What other dividend players might you recommend instead of CBL?
Thanks as always for your valued advice.

Q: Could you comment on IPL latest earnings?
Q: Please comment on the quarterly results.
Thanks
Thanks
Q: They just issued their 3rd q results. I am not very good at determining if this is still undervalued. The results did not blow me away but they did increase the dividend by 10%. They are not in a growth industry however I thought Davis +Henderson was not either yet that stock has done well,long term. Your views of evaluation of SXP would be appreciated.
Q: My BMO Investorline displays Hydro One as dropping $19.445 to $2.175 per share from $21.75 per share. This change occurred about 14 minutes after 4:00pm Friday. Is this just a computer error?

"With our third quarter and year-to-date operating and financial results as the back-drop, we are looking forward to a strong finish to 2015 and towards ensuring AutoCanada being well prepared to face continued challenges in Alberta in fiscal 2016," stated Thomas Orysiuk, President & Chief Executive Officer. "In order to provide us with flexibility to execute on our continuing acquisition strategy and to fund our capital expenditure requirements, while maintaining appropriate operating liquidity, we are in advanced stages of negotiations towards expanding our revolving credit facility. As part of this process, we have amended our banking covenants to align with current industry lending practices. Together with our free cash flow from operations, the expanded revolving credit facility will provide us with the necessary flexibility to meet our capital requirements."
I did not like this and the 10% drop today is saying something although the volume isn't massive. I'm interpreting it as 'sell now and buy it back in 12 months' What do you guys suggest here?
On another note, this cold temperature is getting me and my wife exited about our upcoming CMS/5i cruise!
Thanks and have a great weekend.

Q: I have held BCE for about 10 years and it currently represents about 6% of my portfolio. It is my only telecom holding and I am wondering weather it may be prudent to take advantage of todays pullback in Telus and sell some BCE in favour of Telus (or other suggestion?) to be more diversified in the sector. Is 6% reasonable for the sector? These would continue to be long term holdings assuming the status quo in the industry.
Q: Just wondering what your choice would be for income.Would it be Gibsons or Prairie Sky or some of each.

Q: Telus today reported a 10% increase in its dividend, but I think it meant 10% for all 2015 including the previously announced 5% dividend increase from Spring 2015 of 2 cents from 40 to 42 cents. If my understanding is correct, then the Telus dividend increase is overstated and Telus is guilty of taking credit twice for the same positive news. Full disclosure - I have a full position in Telus and am well satisfied. Can you provide a general comment on companies taking credit for the same news more than once. If so, the politicians have competition.
Thanks as always to the work of the team.
