Q: Aston Hill? It truly baffles me why AHF trades down on a positive press release about AUM. Does this company hit a wall of selling because it issues stock to make acquisitions. It acts like no other stock I have owned and despite apparent good news it has not shown any stength for a very long time. What am I missing?

Q: I recently sold some Amaya (AYA) for diversification, and bought AutoCanada (ACQ), and was told this was a correct move. The problem is that AYA kept moving up, and ACQ down. So this clearly amounts to a move too soon. How long do you estimate ACQ is likely to trend down or stagnate ?

Q: I am considering an investment in Morguard MRC. Currently I have 3% of the portfolio in REI.UN and HR.UN. In your recent report you concluded MRC's returns make up for the yield and the valuation provides downside risk. Comparing the 3 stocks, over a 5 year period would you expect MRC's returns to be significantly higher than the other 2(capital appreciation and dividend combined)? Would you agree with putting half the current holding into MRC and which of the other 2 would you keep.
Many thanks for your considered opinion
Mike

Q: Cineplex CGX

Hello 5i Family

With recent comments regarding theater goer's #'s being down 20% compared to last summer - NetFlix plus other cable shows - we've seen a 4% hit for CGX since closing last week.

stock has been fairly stagnant for most of the year and is down 9% overall since the beginning of the year.

I have a 4% position. Would you consider this high? Should I take some cash out and redeploy it elsewhere? If so, where? And would you consider CGX a Buy, Hold or Sell right now considering these recent announcements?

Thanks for all you do for all of us

Gord

Q: Hello. From a technical perspective ESL seems to have incurred a slight setback in the April/May timeframe and appears to be recovering and resuming it's trend. Are you aware of whether this setback was related to some specific event or whether it was related to external events and is this still considered a viable entry point for this stock? Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter & Ryan,

I am looking at increasing my current weighting of MDA. Can you tell me what is expected this current quarter in terms of top & bottom lines as well as the next full year forecast if available?

Also, in terms of further synergy's from the 2012 SSL purchase - how much more can we expect in the coming quarters? Have they achieved the majority already?

Thanks in advance,
J.

Q: I have a current capital gain on stocks sold this year of about $28,000. The only stock I hold that has a capital loss opportunity is Wilan which at today’s prices would net me a $12,000 capital loss. I sold ˝ my position in Wilan last year to offset similar capital gains and it worked out well.
My question is should I wait till later in the tax year or should I just do it now. I don’t need the funds and I would just look at re-investing.
And thanks Peter & 5i, the gains have very much been due to what I have learned from you and your team.
