Q: I note that in your Sept 11 review of easyhome you state that easyhome sold off 15 US corporate stores due to profitability and unfavourable economic conditions. Give the recovery to date in the U.S. economy and the weak Canadian dollar, have economic conditions changed sufficiently to cause EH to refocus at all on the U.S. market. Is Eh a buy at $19

Q: Hi Peter and Team
Today there is some movement in this stock. I see no news as to why. I quickly checked TMX and it seems to be between only a few sellers/buyers. Any insight on this move. Also do recommend adding to a position (slowly) at this point. My weightings in this sector and stock are balanced at present.
Thanks
you Guys are Great!

Q: I note that AHF have $7.1B in AUM while Gluskin Sheff have $8.1B (only $1B more) but GS trades at ~$28 while AHF is only ~$0.88. It seems to me that some wealth management firm could pick up an easy $7B in AUM for a cheap price buy buying AHF.
(1) Why the discrepancy ?
(2)Is there a metric such as AUM per share that applies to Wealth Management companies to determine their value?

Q: Do you reckon that AGF.B actions will help its share price in the long-term i.e.dividend cut from $0.27 to $0.08 for 2015 plus the Company intends to file to renew its share buyback program when the current program expires in February 2015.
I have been holding it for its dividend but now I am wondering whether I should bail out.
Price even lower today, after dividend cut announcement.

Q: All of a sudden we are seeing shortfalls in bank earnings and subsequent share price declines. Albeit on a much smaller scale, are we seeing the Financial Sector rollover and/or another oil and gas type of sector rotation?

Or, if one is under invested in this sector would this be a good time to put new or additional dollars to work?

And if so what would your preferred financials be?

Thank you.

Q: Hello Team
I see that MFC has 1.9 B shares outstanding versus SLF's 612 M. I bought MFC before I saw your report on SLF. Given the similarities between the two companies, is the large number of MFC shares anything to be concerned about. I see the charts of both companies are moving along pretty well in sync.

Thank you for your efforts and great advice.
