Q: Over the last two months, Leon's stock has fallen from $19.25 to $14.90. Is this a good entry point for this stock? Do you think the fall in price is related to concerns about the overheated housing market?

Q: Hi Peter and team,
It seems that ACQ is oversold and I'm thinking about starting a new position - it looks attractive to me at $32 range it trades today. What is your advice on this stock in current market conditions: full position, half position, or nothing? In terms of portfolio allocation I have less than 6% in Consumer Discretionary, despite it's indirect exposure to oil prices I assume ACQ should still be considered a CD sector? My timeframe is 3-5 years.
Thanks.

Q: There is something I do not understand with CSU borrowing at current 8.5%( 6.5+inflation-cpi). I compare with Potash offering ten year notes at 3%. and 5 yr mortgages at 3%.
I would rather be a cheerleader for CSU having it since 3years. I know that the rights trading price will be a way for the market to let the current shareholders benefit from this. Coulnt't CSU find cheaper financing? If not wouldn't it make one a little uneasy on the continuing holding it.

Q: I know you have expressed your own frustartions with this stock. Me too! So -

Decision time for me: -27% (-22% factoring in the dividend).
With WIN very near its 52 week low, do you see any upside catalyst that might generate a significant pop (10% or more) that would justify buying more. The charts suggest that it is very oversold - therefore a tempting buy.
Or would you recommend selling WIN and investing elsewhere; and if so do you have a strong recommendation?

Q: When an analyst says something like, "20% growth expected this year and 22% next year," does that mean the share price is expected to increase that much? By they way, I'm quoting from Stockchase in reference to Robert McWhirter's recent evaluation of his BNN Top Pick, Constellation CSU. Also, do you agree with McWhirter's opinion on Constellation's growth? Thank you.

Q: WHY MY BROKER DID NOT FILL MY ORDER??
This morning I placed a buy order for aw.un with a limit of $28.11 for 75 shares. The order was placed at 12.13 PM. My broker did not fill my order claiming all sorts of excuses such as 75 is an odd lot or the stock is illiquid.

Here are the trades noted from the chart of another broker for aw.un after I placed my order:

12:45 PM 200 shares at $28.10
1:15 PM 600 shares at $28.10
1:20 PM 1,200 shares at $28.10
1:40 PM 109 shares between $28.07 - $28.20
3:00 PM 474 shares between $27.99 - $28.18
3:40 PM 25 shares at $28
3:55 PM 600 shares at $28.00

Please advise me whether my broker is justified in not fulfilling my order. As well, can you advise me what to do? I have complained to customer service and was told the stock is illiquid and my order was for an odd lot.
Thank you for your service.
