Q: Peter et al.

What do you make of their earnings results released today? Did they beat estimates? They showed a loss in earnings due to acquisition charges. Was this expected? EBIDTA was good from what I see ($120M). Revenue was good as well as far as I can see. Is this still a long term hold?

Regards,


Brendan

Q: Peter and team,

I have holdings largely in line with the balanced equity portfolio. I've been considering adding some US stocks like SBUX, APPL, etc., but I have a question. If one holds the BE portfolio, is there really a need to add more US/global names? It seems the names in the BE portfolio have well diversified earnings sources and do business all over the world. Are we really adding anything with the out-of-Canada stocks?

Thanks

Q: Hi recently CPD has dropped so much, so my first concern is why. Secondly, since it is a preferred shares ETF, I thought it is very low-risk (dividends paid before common shares)and I suggest my parents to use their line of credit (interest rate lower than 3% annually) to buy it for retirement (use the monthly distribution to pay off monthly payment). Simply put, borrow money to invest in CPD. Let me know your views on my thinking and please be specific. Thank you very very much !!! Tony

Q: Are there one or two stocks in your Balanced Equity and Income portfolios that could be considered trading stocks? That is they go up $5 sell and and then down $5 and buy back on a fairly regular basis or is this just the inherant volatility of the market and we could get left out if they go for a good run. Your opinions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Q: I'm thinking about establishing a long-term position in DRT. What do you think of the company and its current valuation/growth potential? Do you see DRT benefiting from the Federal governments infrastructure spending?

Thanks

Q: Hi there, I am currently holding about 65% in cash and am looking to add a few names from the BE portfolio. I currently own ATD.B, CXI, ESL and DSG from the BE portfolio and CRH, CXR and FRU. Which names from the BE portfolio would you be adding at this time. Are there any specific names that seem more like screaming buys than others? Thanks!

Q: CXR is really testing my patience.
I understand that there's a guilt by association issue concerning what's going on with VRX. Wouldn't the market realize this? CXR is down over 60% from its high's. The way I see this means one of two things. They too have accounting issue's....or...the stock is an incredible buying opportunity. Could you please bring some light to the present situation. Thanks
