Q: WPK is one of the stocks in my portolio which I hold in part for its stability. It's not the kind of stock I expect to drop 5% on no news on an otherwise okay trading day. Is there some news?

Q: As I write this, AVO is up 4.75% today. With no announcements, one must check the charts and doing so, I see no reason to buy at this point. Prices are well below the downtrend line, is still below the 20 day MA (but is approaching it. Volumes are about even with the 100 day MA. Frankly, considering Avigilon's propensity for volatility, I will wait for it to muster significant volume to the upside before I'll consider a re-entry.

Hello Peter....
Best withes on the ride!
I have owned a 1.4% position in Great-west Life [GWO] and a 1.7% position in Sun life [SLF] since December 2013. SLF is up 11% and GWO down 1% since I bought them. These are held primarily for income. I would appreciate your opinion on whether I should just do nothing and collect the dividends which are about the same for both companies [SLF 3.5% and GWO 3.8%] or whether I should sell the GWO with essentially no loss or gain and put the money into SLF, in the expectation of a little more growth. Is it worth the diversification to own both?
Many thanks...... Paul K

Q: Hello 5i team,
My RRIF portfolio is fairly diversified. I have room to buy a position in either AVO (Technology) or BAD (Infrastructure) even though they are in different sectors. My exposure to the tech sector is 13.6% of the portfolio and comprises CSU, ESL, CGI, MDA and OTC; that of Infra. is 6.5% and comprises BIP.UN, SJ and STN.
Your opinion is, as usual, most welcome
Thanks
Tony

Q: Greetings
Regarding the Contrans (CSS) purchase offer. I just received instructions from TD and in bold print and underlined it clearly states 'holders who do not wish to tender their shares need not submit instructions' It provides for only one option that is to tender. Post this at your discretion.

Q: CSU Rights are trading at ~$0.59 and for every 21.192 Rights held, the holder of such Rights will be entitled to subscribe for C$100 principal amount of Debentures, exercisable at a price of C$95.00 per C$100 principal amount of Debentures purchased. Am I correct in thinking that the effective cost of buying the debentures is then $0.59 x 21.192 = $12.50 + $95 = $107.50? Are you still a fan of these at that price?

Q: Hi guys,

With BKW stock continuing to climb in the last week I'm wondering what I should do with my 200 shares of THI in my TSFA? Your thoughts are appreciated.

Good luck on the ride.

Thank you,

Q: Peter - there are 2 stocks that I have owned in the past and which are now in doghouse with investors. One is AVO and the next is ACQ. Now AVO is well documented in terms of its history and its CEO. I have read your comments in the past. But this scenario will change. will the change be sudden with news of a purchase or the next set of earnings. Have we hit bottom and will the re-evaluation be sudden.
ACQ has not made any serious mistakes as far as I can tell. They have grown dramatically and taken on debt however. The CEO appears to have a vision and is carrying it out.
In 1year is it likely that these 2 stocks will be dramatically higher than now. Is it a good idea to start to dabble
