Q: Good Afternoon,

An FYI. Many 5i followers are probably happy Badger investors.This morning at about 7:10 the president (?) was interviewed on BNN and can be viewed from their library. He provide some very impressive information e.g. they build their own trucks the way they like e.g. they are built to last 10 years and the way the the drivers appreciate @ a cost of $360-$370k verses buying them for $475- $500k and these trucks are earning 32 -37k per month. Last year they reached their goal of having equal revenue from the united states and canada and he thinks they can grow the US business to 5X the Canadian revenue. Still seems like lots of room to run. mike

Q: Peter and Team,

I have been continuing to work towards diversification and emulating the 5i philosophy. I am thinking I could use another techology-type/growth type name. I currently have approximately a 4.0% position in Amaya Gaming AYA and have been thinking about adding to it.

However, I've also been looking at Constellation Software and read the report (am I correct that the last report was Oct. 2012?) and like it but am curious if I want to put new money to work in this name with the incredible performance its had. I was thinking of a 5.0% weighting. If not in this name, would I be better off in something like DHX Media?

Your thoughts are appreciated.

Q: I am looking at taking a position in either BDI or HNL for my TFSA contribution this year. Back in July you had rated HNL slightly ahead of BDI in an answer to a members question. How would you contrast the opportunity for these 2companies at this time?

Q: As a comment to Neil who wrote about SYZ, as a fellow chartist - who never made a lot of money reading charts and is trying to take a more fundamentalist approach (thanks 5i), to add to your woes, there is a Head and Shoulders formation trying to form on the weekly chart. If the price drops below about 6.70 it will have completed. Also, on the daily chart, there is an intermediate triangle in place - the bulls and bears have less than a week to decide who will win out; since the downtrend is still in place, the bears will like prevail.

My observation about Fundamentalists and Technical Analysts is that all professionals never lose site of either, only emphasize one over the other. 5i wrote a few weeks back, that us Techies usually want to "market time" which he stated he does not believe in.

Q: Happy New year to all. First, I must tell you this the best investment concept I have ever seen. Your integrity and focus on the individual investor is so far advanced the rest are going backward. There is no agenda and we, the investors, just sit back and get, or see through other investor questions and your answers, the most honest advice possible. The price of admission was paid on my first transaction. Thank you so much for doing what you do.
My question; I bought Chartwell at +7 something get a great dividend return, have a nice profit but like all REIT'S do you think there is a growth story here or are we now spinning the wheels.
Again, thanks for all you do. Chartwell is 6.2% of my Portfolio.

Q: Re: SYZ
Long time (close to original?) subscriber, just renewed for two more years. Thank you for providing the subscriber discount - it again shows your ethics and the fairness with which you treat your subscribers (which is in addition to the great info you provide).
Anyway, enough of the accolades.
Sylogist (a member of your portfolio) has been pretty much sideways since August. Technically, (sorry, I'm a bit of a chartist - I know you aren't) it has fallen below its 20 and 50 day moving averages and is showing significant negative divergences on both MACD and RSI. (Not good technical signs). While I appreciate you may be "comfortable" with the stock here, my question is what do you see as being necessary to move this stock upward and what might be the chances of that happening.
Though I ask very few questions, I really appreciate your responses.
Thank you
Neil

Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
I purchased Genivar (GNV-T) now called WSP Global (WSP-T) back when the shares got whacked after the purchase of WSP. The share price has run up nicely since then and I am considering switching to Stantec since STN has recently pulled back a bit. When I look at both companies, side by side, Stantec looks to be the better run business based upon profitability, share dilution, balance sheet, etc. Also the dividend that WSP pays out forces them to issue shares and borrow in order to grow. Stantec looks to be run by a far more disciplined management. I would appreciate your opinion of the switch. Thank you. DL
