Q: Hi, Magna's results looks like a slight beat on EPS and Sales, despite FX impact of strong USD. Could you please comment on the quarterly earnings release and 2015 outlook? Thanks
Q: On your great advice I picked up Constellation Software last year. I made it a full position, and it has now reached 6% including all my portfolios. I am not risk adverse and I don't mind holding winners, but at what total % level should I start to take some profits.
Do you think letting it move up to 10% is ok, or way to risky.
I'm down almost 17% on GH (non-registered account). Do you think it's worth keeping or would replacing it with IT be a better option. I have also own AYA.
Q: Good Morning,
Would you continue to give CSH.UN a B grading, given the recent changes in thia company related to the health care sector? Do you view the divident save; and consider it a growth stock, as well? Thank you
Q: Hi, could you please share your analysis of Parkland earnings release of Thursday evening and estimates. Also, I would appreciate your comments on Cash flow and Dividend pay out Ratio. Thanks
Q: Hi,
I do not understand why you include BEP.UN in your income portfolio.
This is what I read on Disnat :
P/E Ratio 145.27
Earnings/Share $ 0.26
Dividend/Share $ 1.66
The income is great, but the payout ratio seems unsustainable. Is the capital safe? Can you comment?
Thanks
Q: I cannot find any information on Home Capital's site about the geographical breakdown of their mortgages. Finally I found a Seeking Alpha article suggesting that about 3% of their loans are oil patch related and that the majority of their loans are in Southern Ontario and in the GTA specifically. Is this correct and where might this information come from so I can get more detail? Thank-you.
Sorry, I had to start off with the Judy Blume reference for a laugh to prevent myself from crying over High Liner's quarterly results. Did you get a chance to listen to HLF's conference call? If so, any further insights?
Do you see anything in the report that potentially jeopardizes the business, or was it simply just a bad quarter. I have held HLF for years now and am use to them missing estimates (5 out of the last 6 reports have missed) but cant remember a time when you started an answer with "yikes", as you did with the last HLF question,(LOL).
Lastly, do you think there was any use for High Liner management to halt the stock for three minutes before issuing the earnings report?
Thanks, again. Looking forward to resubscribing with 5i soon.
Q: The stock price has spiked in last week and was wondering if you feel it is a bit ahead of itself...perhaps finding a bid due to weakness in other sectors? I have owned it since the high $90's.
Many thanks as always!
Q: Hello Peter & Co,
There are obviously a variety of metrics to measure the valuation of the stock. I usually look at the ratio ROE/forward PE which should be above 1; you mention in your report on BIN that, due to its capital structure, EV/Sales and EV/EBITDA are better metrics. Could you please explain? How does the average retail investor parse the various ways of measuring valuations?
Thanks,
Antoine
