Q: While I'm a shareholder in Boston Pizza for the income, I'm concerned about the risk to a downside in the stock price. With pressure coming from fast-food and also fast-causal, how risky is this to be held for the long term?
Q: Hi. I've been watching Trimac for a while and $6 seems to offer some support. What do you think of $6 as an entry point for a long-term hold (5 years or longer)? Thanks in advance for your great advice!

Q: Good morning,
I have been considering adding to a holding in Exco and wonder if the dip yesterday was the result of something worrisome or just profit taking and a possible buying opportunity. Any insight?

Q: Hi 5i team,
I've read back to the previous questions about the CSU rights and am still confused. Here are some more questions:
- when does the interest start accumulating?
- why do I get the privilege of using 10.596 rights to pay $115 for a debenture worth $100 (obviously I'm missing something)
- will the debentures be less attractive if I don't hold them until maturity?
- do the rights transfer with the stock? (ex., if I sell my CSU today, do I lose the rights? if I purchase more CSU today, do I get more rights?)
- how safe is the yield and/or principal?
I can't be the only Confused Canuck on this one!
As always, thanks for all your help.

Q: If the Canadian loonie were to maintain it's low level or go even lower in the future should Ms.Yellen decide to raise rates. Could you give a short list of Canadian companies that will benefit from a lower Canadian dollar that make a significant part of their earnings in US dollars ? MCB comes to mind as it does 49% of it's business in the US ?
Thanks Garth
Thanks Garth

Hello Peter, If you were to sell, how would you rank them.
Being considerably down on these, would you suggest holding any of these or better to take a loss and move elsewhere. Looks like energy and precious metal sector has no support.

I want to add relatively conservative dividend stocks with some growth potential. I was thinking of CGX as one of them but am not sure if it is overvalued. what would you suggest for 3-4 stocks?
Q: I currently COW less than 1% of total portfolio and have some extra cash and wonder if I should buy AFN or maybe more COW and AFN. What are your thoughts on this?

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I hold a small position in MIC and have felt stock would go up when rates they charged went up. I have stayed away from fund managers fearing fee disclosure would affect them. Having said all this I assum from comments in the past and today's report on FSZ that you would endorse a switch from MICto FSZ? Am I correct ?
Thanks for all you do
