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

Q: RE- BDI, SYZ, ACQ, SLW

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.

Q: I am helping my mom invest for her TFSA. Currently she holds equal weights of a perpetual Brookfield preferred, Altagas (ALA), ZEB, and WSP. She has enough cash to invest in 3-4 more positions. 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: How do you think the prospects for bci look? In your report you mentioned it operates in a fragmented industry. My only concern is its profit margins and debt.

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

Q: I hold XTC -- it seems to be hitting on all cylinders and has been particularly strong recently. Could a takeover be in the works? Technically it looks like it has formed a rounded bottom (late April period to now) and if that resolves to the upside, we might be looking at 19-20 bucks in short order. Thoughts?
