Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I realize aluminum is in the "doghouse"...oversupply and underdemand. However I have read a few analysts who think the balance may tip within 6-12 months. So I am looking for a longterm contrarian play. Are there any Canadian companies that might qualify...they must have a decent balance sheet with low debt, good management, safe jurisdiction. A junior company usually has more upside. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Does such companies exist or am I dreaming?
Respectfully...Dr.Ernest Rivait

Q: Good afternoon,

ITP, is coming down lately, and I been looking into it for a possible long term investment for about 5% of my holdings. My investment brokerage have it at 15.6x time earnings and undervalued. It pays a US dividend which is approximatelly 40% of cashflow (I could be wrong here) which seems safe and they have been increasing it. Do you recommend it? If yes or no can you tell me why?

Thanks

Paul

Q: I am trying to determine how/if to incorporate foreign exchange gains or losses when doing my portfolio weightings. Assume I started with $100k Cdn and I buy 9 Cdn stocks and 1 US equally. If none of the stocks changed in value, except the one US stock was now worth $14,000 due to foreign exchange gains, that one stock would now represent 12.3% of my portfolio when valued in Cdn dollars. If I wanted to keep my original 10% per share holding Would I then sell 2.3% to get back to my original 10% holding or do I ignore the conversion for now and say it is still just 10% of my portfolio.

Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi Peter and Team - Recent comments on BNN Market Call indicate that now is a good time to invest in small craft brewers due to increased shelf space in the beer stores as well as the decision to allow grocery stores to sell beer. Brick Brewing was mentioned as a good company in this space but it is expensive. Are there any other small craft breweries you would recommend and perhaps even one of the larger breweries. Thanks.
