Q: 5I must be at the Canteck Conference today, as I have been enjoying their tweets.
Amaya provided positive update on developments, and I am getting close to pulling the trigger here. Price to earnings here is in excess of 56 times and wonder if this is appropriate.
Your thoughts please going forward

Q: (Prevoiusly known as Davis & Henderson)
Re: All the comments about DH Corp initiating a DRIP. If you own shares thru a Broker (i.e TDDI) and you own a sufficient quantity of shares that your dividends allow the purchase of at least ONE SHARE then your Broker will purchase for you (called a Synthetic DRIP, with no commission)as many shares as possible (only whole shares, no fractions). This is why Mike has been recieving re-invasted dividends since March 2013 (as have I). One qualification is, at least with TDDI you need to have this feature turned on for the respective A/C. This cannot be done by the Client. You must contact your Broker to ascertain or request that the feature is enabled.
Company DRIP's are an economical way for small investors to start to build a position and also re-invest 100% of the dividends including fractional share purchases.
Hope this provides some clarification.

Q: I was doing some research on CXI and, this morning, I found an article signed by 5i Research on the Seeking Alpha website. I quickly returned to the 5i site to see if you posted it here and I didn't find anything. If you are writing for other websites, how can we find out about it and is there a way you could notify us when one of your pieces is published?

Q: Peter and team,

I have a couple follow up questions from the January 8 report on BEP.UN. The debt is high... if interest rates rise, will it sink the company or can the company continue to fund their operations without worry? Is there big margins there to absorb increased cost of debt? Are you concerned abou the debt at all?

Next question is around oil prices. You stated that oil prices shouldn't affect them at all but wouldn't low fossil fuel prices lead to cheaper energy production from fossil fuel burning plants and therefore BEP.UN would see even further decline of power production from existing assets and therefor decline in earnings due to more economic power coming on first?

Q: XTC declined less today than Magna, Linamar, and even Martinrea. Would this be an appropriate way to invest in the auto sector?

Q: Magna guided forward (2015) for lower revenue and lower sales. While we still have a bit of profit (TFSA,cash account), after the 7.7% price decline this morning, is it time to bail out in this co. or is it just a short term blip. It depends I guess on the economic outlook (Europe, China etc.).

Thank you for your invaluable help today,yesterday and always.
