Q: Hi Peter,

The recent drop in value for KXS is somewhat perplexing if this is solely attributed to the loss of one customer. We don't own the stock today but it is next on our list to purchase 1/2 to a full position. Do you recommend waiting for another few days or longer to purchase or would you purchase KXS now while it is exhibiting weakness?

Thank you for your advice

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

With the demise of Sears and the "old news story" about the relationship between Sears and Easy Financial, does this have any negative implications for GSY going forward?

http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/goeasy-announces-point-of-sale-financing-venture-with-sears-canada-tsx-gsy-2107178.htm

There's been bad press about Sears not honoring warranties among other aspects of Sears demise, and Easy Financial was mentioned since they took over from Chase Bank when, I presume, Chase Bank "saw the writing on the wall".

My wife holds GSY in her RRSP and it's been a stellar performer so far. Hopefully it will continue to be.

Thanks in advance for your insight.

Q: I have owned GSY for a few years now and I'm very happy with my returns but how can a company that is showing good growth, has a growing dividend, consistently beats earnings (with several blow out quarters), be trading at around 10x next years earnings. I realize people don't like the industry but it just makes no sense. What am I missing?

Q: Please provide your comments about the recent appointment of James Henderson as COO and possible appointment to CEO next spring.

The stock has done well in the past few months but historically it seems that just as things are looking good bad news breaks. As I am typing this question, the stock has dropped by 5% with today’s news. Is this an over reaction?

I have held AVO for the past two years, in my TFSA and it represents only 2.4% of my total portfolio.

Should I continue to hold this stock?

Thank you

Stephen

Q: You recently commented that 18% of a portfolio in utilities is fairly high, especially in a time of rising interest rates and might reduce across the board here.
Can you recommend your top 3 stock picks with dividends that you feel will benefit the most in this time of rising interest rates? Not including the big banks.

Q: Hi 5i Team

I'm thinking of buying ENB. I can use either my margin or RRSP account and either my CAD or USD account (so 4 choices). Question: If I buy using the USD account (so NYSE) does the US withholding tax apply even though it is a Canadian company? If I've filled out the withholding tax form (W-8BEN) does that eliminate the withholding tax in any event?

Thanks
Peter

Q: I have been watching BDI for about year, it has been a sad story. I have noticed that in the last month there has been insider buying and a large investment house has purchased over 10% of the shares. Is this stock worth buying at this point in time since there appears to be interest at this price level?

Thank you
David
