Q: Hi, Parkland Fuel stock tumbled at the open on Friday and closed 4.4% lower. I own it from before and was happy to add to my position on this drop. PKI has been in your portfolios for a while and was also a Top Pick recently. Is there something in the quarterly results which needs to be worried about ? After the CST brands acquisition, stock has just gone straight up and Friday was the first serious correction. Would appreciate your thoughts.

Q: I'd like to invest in Tricon, but note that, as you say earnings are lower than in 2013/14, when it was trading between $6-$8 dollars.

1. Should I assume from this that I should wait until the stock drops to the $6-$8 level before buying?
2. Why are they having so much trouble generating earnings in an improving real estate market? Are the execs paying themselves too much?
Thanks for your opinions.

Q: I own half position in ABT, admittedly for a short period, it has fallen over 8% since my purchase. Recently 5i said " We see it as a BUY, but primarily for income." With a 5% dividend, but sitting on a 8% capital loss, what should an investor do, be patient, average down, or move on to hopefully a better investment?

Q: Is it worthwhile taking a position now or waiting until earnings comes out. I am assuming the drop in the last few days is pre earnings jitters or negative overall market induced as I can find no specific causative news.

Q: Hi,

BEP.UN got hammered today after its Q3 results, which when compared to 2015 Q3 looked pretty good imo. Could you please provide some insight/ideas as to why it was down 4.25% today? And how come they have negative EPS? (is it because of the $200 million in depreciation?)

I plan on holding them for a long time and am thinking of buying more

Thanks for your insight!

Q: Thanks for clarifying the debt repayments. I should have also asked what the total debt is now for the company. I know that the company said reducing debt would be a focus for them going forward. Did they speak specifics in their conference and do you consider the repayment schedule to be reasonably aggressive?

Thanks for the insight.
