Q: hello Peter:
a question about the PEG ratio. As someone who questions the things I myself do and believe (self critique), I now am wondering about the validity of the PEG ratio. This is a general question, so hopefully your answer will address it that way, but I will use BDI, who I know you like, as an example. Morningstar lists BDI as having a PEG ratio of 0.3. For a value stock, this makes sense (to me), but BDI is hardly a value stock. Is it just that much undervalued by the market? And I could cite numerous other examples of stocks with very low PEG ratios: hopefully your answer will address my conundrum with a measure I like (I think!). I also believe others may be a bit confused with this ratio.
thanks

Q: CFN Carfinco Just wondering what you make of the most recent news coming out of CFN? Record loan originations does not speak to rising delinquencies of loans but...
Q: I own 200 shares of Enghouse ESL, so around $6,500 worth. I cannot decide if I should add another $6,500 to ESL or by Sylogist syz for that same amount. I seem to think I will reduce risk having two companies in the same space in case one goes up and one goes down. What do you do? Buy more of the same company or diversify with another one in the same sector. Thanks for everything.
Q: AYA
I just heard that Amaya is considering a dual listing with either New York or London being the secondary exchange. Firstly, would this generally be considered positive, neutral or negative for the stock price on the TSX?; secondly, would there be a greater benefit for the stock to be listed in one over the other?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: As for DH and the TD numbers: the lower number is "*GAAP = prior to non-GAAP analyst adjusted earnings" and the higher number is "*Non-GAAP = analyst adjusted earnings and revenues". GAAP= Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
It seems to me the difference for most companies is not so vast. It might be interesting for an accountant to analyze why this is so for DH in particular.

Q: In response to Edward's question concerning DH and TD Waterhouse trailing P/E. TD does show DH Earnings as 0.78 on the Over View page, however, if you drill down to the Earnings Page, the last 4 qtrs add up to 2.11. Nothing in the reports add up to $0.78. You'll have to ask TD how they arrive at that figure.
Q: Hello 5i,
I am holding qst, efn, hwo, and cpg in my TFSA. I am ok with riskier stocks in this portfolio and I'm looking to add to it with either dhx or sgy. I know these are very different stocks but I'd like your opinion on what will provide the most growth long term. Also, while I'm looking to diversify, sgy seems to be at a good entry point and the dividend is added incentive.

Q: Greeting, Peter & Co.
I am pleased to read that Peter should make a good recovery from his accident.
I have been reviewing analyses of Davis & Henderson (DH) from a variety of sources including 5i. In contrast to 5i's positive view of the company, TD Waterhouse shows a trailing 12 month PE of 44.67. Isn't this a bit rich for a moderate growth company?
With appreciation.
Ed

Q: Question about DHX valuation. I am considering initiating a position but am unsure of its current valuation relative to its growth rate or historical valuation range. The stock is up 30% since the last 5i report only two months ago and 100% in the past 12 months. Is the current valuation relatively high, low or about average for this company?
Q: Good morning 5i Team. Would you please explain something to me. ESL closed on the TSX yesterday at $35.80, it shows in our portfolio closing at $34.40. Why the difference? I suspect it is after hours trading, where can I check this out. Thank you.
Q: Just a comment. ENB is NR in the model portfolio but rated A- in the 'global' portfolio.
Q: Peter; With this mornings GM recall could this filter down to ACQ.? Im not sure how many of their dealerships are GM. Thanks. Rod
Q: hello Peter:
last question about 2 months ago, last report in 2012.
PKI: I have a small postition (about 2% of portfolio) and was looking at deploying some cash. How does this look from a GARP perspective, and how does it look to you from your perspective? The dividend is attractive and I am of the belief that dividends will mean more and more going forward, in a lower growth environment. Do you agree with the latter statement?

Q: Do the new rules surrounding the Temporary Foreign Worker Program have impact to your rating on Tim Hortons (THI)? The key risks in the report cite "almost no labour or wage rate risk", so I'm not sure if such a change was accounted for. Most of the Tim Horton restaurants I've been to are almost all foreign workers and there was certainly about a $2 impact to the share price when the news came out. Is this change big enough to impact the overall business and stock outlook?
Q: what is your view on ATP and its upward stock movement? Anything has changed at the company to justify this appreciation in stock price? It has almost doubled since February. Thanks
Q: I am considering the addition of 1 more consumer discretionary stock.
Consumer staples holdings are NWC, CSW.A and CCL.B
Consumer discretionary holdings are MG and CGX.
Weighting for each sector is targeted at 10%, but I am currently a bit underweight in each.
Do you think I should be adding an additional stock, or just adding more to the existing holdings?
I have been considering CTC.A, THI, and DHX, but would welcome other suggestions.
Something offering a growing dividend would be nice.
