Q: There seems to be no limit to the share price decline of BOS. I don't own it but have been watching. Does it now represent both good value and a growth opportunity? I know you don't like buying into negative momentum. For someone with room in their portfolio to add a couple of growth names is BOS a good place to put new money today or would you rather stick with a more positive momentum play like KXS?

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
Presently I have a full weighting of Parkland Fuel (PKI-TSX) in an income oriented retirement account. Most of the other equity holdings in this account mirror your 5i Income Portfolio. I have been watching Superior Plus (SPB-TSX) for awhile and it appears to have bottomed with energy prices firming a bit. SPB looks to be a cheap stock even with the recent upward move in share price. Do you think owning PKI and SPB in the same income account makes any sense ??? Also if you were to assign a grade to SPB what would it be ??? PKI is presently a "B". Thank you for your sage insights. DL

Q: I've had my eye on this one for a while. Too bad I did not buy when I came upon it? I tend not to buy small companies that are valued on growth because the landscape is littered with companies that fall faster then they rise when things do not go right. This comp. seems incredibly over valued to me: TTM PE of 27, FPE of 25, 7x book value. Even with an ROE of 20 & PEG ratio over one? It's EPS is very small - so, earning on a cash basis must be a fair bit higher. I'd like to buy - maybe? I prefer dividend growers as well. How liquid is the stock which is important to me because I like to hold good size positions. I did well with BAD & ACQ which were growth stocks: 3 x my money - so, I do like a bit of growth.

Q: Both companies reported recently and a commonality between the two was that the margins were slimmer. Is this the result of competition within the industry, meaning that the infrastructure story may be a bit overblown, weakness still in the industrial sector (Bird Construction sales declined here as well), from the Canadian dollar strengthening last quarter or is this simply life in the construction industry and we should stay the course?

Q: Hi! I did some spring cleaning and had to pick between drt and pur. The two were small positions and I ended selling pur and adding a bit to drt. In hindsight it looks like I should have done the opposite. If pur looks better now I can still make the change if you suggest so. Thx, Dominic
