Q: Based on information from 5i I have been considering purchasing a small position in TMA for dividend income as well as capital gains. Perhaps it would be better to wait until they report in early March? Are your thoughts on TMA still positive going forward? Thank you.

Q: My holdings include ' Constellation Software Unsecured Subordinated Floating Rate Debentures Series 1 Exp. 31 March 2040'. Quite a mouthful!

What do I do with these? What are these? Do they entitle me to something now or later?
In essence keep or sell.
Thanks, Klaus

Q: Just a correction to someone's comment about Currency Exchange International: For Canadians, the private placement is a four month hold and not twelve months which is the case for Americans. I think its important to note.

Q: Hello Peter and the 5i team
My question's are concerning Stella Jones.
1. Who are Stella Jones competitors and how much market share do they have in the rail tie business?
2. Which rail companies are customers of Stella Jones?
3. I have heard that some rail companies are starting to go with cement ( or some other material) for the use of their ties. Is this true? and will it affect Stella J?
4. How much growth do you see in this company over say the next 4-5 years?
5. What is the payout ratio of SJ and is it sustainable?

Thanks

Q: Besides Chartwell what are some other names that provide assisted living at various increasing levels of care for Seniors? I would be interested in US names because of the larger population. The Canadian names all seem to have large dividends the are unsupported by published earnings.
Thank you.

Q: Your answer to Marilyn,Feb 20, regarding a CXI financial issue
raised more questions. Will the stock price pullback to 26 or 27 $ area? Is this not what usually happens when a company makes a "new issue" below current price? If this deal "allows larger investors to get in" as you suggest, could they possibly snap up the new issue price in some kind of dark pool; thus leaving out any possibility of a pullback that retail investors
could participate in? If the stock price for CXI does go down to $26 or 27, I think it would be a great buy opportunity - do you agree? Thankyou. I really enjoy the Q&A......Lionel

Q: In reference to Sheldon's question (Feb 20th) regarding the recent rise in BDI's share price. It is no doubt partially due to the tax incentives announced by Stephen Harper recently....

"The federal government is hoping to kickstart a multibillion-dollar industry that, according to one analyst, is currently suffering an anxiety attack. Speaking in B.C., Prime Minister Stephen Harper unveiled new tax breaks for investment in liquefied natural gas.

The new measures mean companies will now get a capital cost allowance of 30 per cent for LNG equipment. And 10 per cent for buildings at LNG facilities. The government projects the tax break will save the industry about $50 million over the first five years.

Another estimate says it will allow companies to write off 90 per cent of their investments in seven years, instead of 27."

The above is taken from CBC.ca

Q: Hi Peter,

This name was recently on a list you gave me priortizing how to integrate the 5i port into my own.

However BDI is up approx 40% in 2 weeks. Has there been substantial news to legitimize this move?

Or should I wait for a pullback? Have not purchased (unfortunately) as yet.

Would appreciate your opinion of a buy strategy on this one.

Thanks

Q: CXI announced a new issue today at 26.75, with some interesting conditions I have not seen before. It is to be held for 4 months and then trade on a restricted basis for 12 months. Can you explain this?
Thanks so much,
