Q: Hello - I'd really like to take a position in K-Bro, but I have questions:

1) K-Bro appears to be expensive. If I'm getting correct information, the TTM P/E ratio is about 26. Is that correct? Would you not agree that this is expensive? I really don't see this as a growth stock to justify such a high multiple.

2) What is a reasonable P/E multiple range for a company like this?

3) Going forward do you see decent dividend growth?

Thanks for you valuable service.

Q: Could you please explain why Spin Master's Q3 earnings have been higher than the aggregate of the other quarters combined? Would you anticipate this to change in Q12017 with several new products coming online for the holidays? I'm not very comfortable investing in companies like TOY, PBH and PKI due to valuation so do you think that starting with small positions in each and adding to the winners makes sense?

Q: I am currently holding WPK after having switched to it from CCL.B a few months ago when it seemed to get a bit over valued. I just noticed that there seems to be some negative correlation on these two stocks and I don't really understand why that would be since I always thought that these companies were very similar. Can you explain this and do you think it is a good time to start getting back in to CCL.B or should I just stick with WPK. Thanks

Q: Hello 5i team,
I wanted to add a technology sector company and was wondering of the current stocks in the BE portfolio, which one has the most room to grow? They are all doing very well.
Thanks,
Andrew

Q: CCL is roughly flat over the last 12 months and down significantly in October even after reporting what I would consider decent earnings. I understand the sector rotation going on after the US election might have played a part in October's decline but are there other things going on that are of concern? Is the debt level a concern? The stock just keeps drifting lower. I have half a position and was wondering if now would be a good time to purchase the other half?

Q: Hi folks,I am perplexed by trading of Amaya,currently in $19's when the $24 takeover offer seems like a slam dunk. Am I missing something?? I have 400 shares at $20.20,held thru thick & thin and don't understand why stock would not be trading at or near $24 range.Why shouldn't I buy more in $19's and tender to $24 offer,thanks for clarifying situation for me,jb
