Announced good Q after close on Aug 1 prompting a sharp increase the next day to $57.50 H.On Aug 3 our great Peter made it a top pick on BNN @ $55.91 .What an expensive haircut for my purchase on Aug 3 after top pick?

Q: Hi, Could you please comment on CCL earnings release. CC just ended and there was this constant chatter about every single raw material price going higher and impacting profitability. Innovia seems to have taken the most impact with $35 mln in the hole. Price increases to Innovia customers may only happen in 2019. Silver Line :CEO did mention that profitability of the company still fairly reasonable in H1, even with high raw material costs, any price increases will bode strongly for the results in H2 and beyond. Thanks

Q: What are your plans regarding the takeover of ECI...selling or waiting it out? Sold all of mine and bought or topped up positions in TCL, PBH. Thinking about topping up CGX...we'll see what it's quarter looks like tomorrow.

What are your plans regarding the 6.67% cash position in the Income portfolio? In the past you have indicated you are not keen on having large cash positions.

Thanks...Steve

Q: Just to clarify a recent Q&A regarding Parkland that someone mentioned that they almost sold PKI because "Andrew McCreath was shorting it at about $33, except for your reassuring comments.". In his monthly update, McCreath mentions "Parkland has been among the fund's largest positions this year and remains a core holding." Believe it is still worth holding for further upside. Thought it would be helpful if there was any confusion. Of course, as you mentioned, fund managers can change their view at any time and one should not solely invest one managers bullish/bearish viewpoint.

Q: hello 5i:
I'm interested in PLC (should never lack for business), BUT I notice the company has a so-so record of meeting Operating Earnings, and a dismal record of meeting Operating Cash Flow projections. This doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in the company, and so provides me with a bit of a quandry. Can you comment? Do YOU think the company will be able to achieve or beat projections in the future, as they haven't in the past? Why?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan & Co.,
I bought PKI about 5 yrs ago, and it's done very well for me. I am a bit disappointed, however, with the rather slow dividend growth (this is the reason I bought it). As you noted, it's payout ratio is only 35%. So now I'm debating whether or not I should sell my position and invest in something else with a higher, growing yield, or wait in the hopes that PKI will be a bit more generous to its shareholders. What do think? Is the company hoarding cash for a specific purpose, or can I expect dividend increases in the future? Thanks,
Brian
