Q: In addition to the secondary offering of units and debentures, Mr Cheskis has offered 200k of his Boyd Group units for sale, once again, leaving him with just 218k holding. Should it be a concern? With this offering, units today, have traded as low as $42.15, with a high of $47.90, not long ago. With so much volatility, do you still consider it as a stable investment with decent upside in future? Is it a strong buying opportunity @42.50 or or still has downside risk? Do you think co. has taken too much debt? Thanks for your valuable insight.

Q: Hi 5i team, if Contran (CSS) shareholders reject the offer by Transforce should we be concerned with holding this company moving forward? Does the action of management and the board (recommending we accept the Transforce offer) not demonstrate incompetence or at the very least very poor judgement? Are you still comfortable recommending this company knowing the board does not appear to place it's shareholders interest first? Thank you.

Question regarding BYD.UN (Boyd Income Group): Can you provide this year and next year's expected earnings per share estimates? My Investor's Edge and iTrade don't seem to provide this info for this stock. My best estimate is $2.10 for this year and $2.35 for next year which would give Boyd an 18ish p/e for 2015 with still lots of predictable, repeatable growth in the subsequent years. Am I in the ballpark or out to lunch?
Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i team,
What is "consumer discretionary"; could you give me examples of securities in that sector? For example would you consider that LNR and MG which serve the auto industry belong to that sector? After all is the car not the ultimate consumer discretionary?

Q: I have a 2% position in CFN, getting smaller daily. The recent plummet appears to be either capitulation or possibly a large shareholder exiting his position.
Is CFN getting into oversold territory and is it time to add some shares OR is this strategy like the proverbial "catching a falling knife"? At what point do you decide this was a bad investment, take your lumps and move on?
When do they report their net quarter? Thanks.

Q: A Sept. 09 2014 report from Veritas is recommending a Sell of Magna (MG) suggesting that their returns are going to be disappointing over the next 3 years. What are your thoughts on MG? I have owned for about 9 months, and was hoping to hold onto it for about another year or so. Do you think it is a stock that is still worth holding onto? It is about 2.5% of my portfolio. Thanks.

Q: To add to our income portfolio we are looking at purchasing BEP.UN and have read your favourable comments and 2013 report. We look at Google Finance, Morningstar and the TMX site and are a little confused by the very different numbers for eps, P/E,etc. Google Finance has a P/E of 102.27 and an eps of .31. The quarterly dividend is .42. ie not a very good payout ratio? Morningstar publishes a P/E TTM of 17.5. What is P/E TTM? Are you still favourable toward owning Bep.un.as a long term hold for income? Many thanks, Len

Q: Hi,
I'm a buy and hold investor and am up 25% on HCG, a riskier investment than my normal TD, SLF, Manulife, TELUS type investments. HCG has dropped of late and is making me nervous. Is it time to get out? What are its long term, say five year, prospects?

Q: TFI TransForce calling! TFI phoned me Friday after market close. I missed the call but they left a message asking me to give them a call. (AS if!) This call came the day TFI hit an all time high and CSS was stuck in the mud. Insulting. I am taking heart that this might be an omen that not all is going as planned for the buyout as I own CSS and not TFI.
