Q: I'm always adding to my positions in 5i stocks (mainly BE portfolio plus some growth portfolio stocks) and I like to buy "cheap". Can you point to anything that might be on sale right now? Thanks as always.

Q: Over the past few days, I have heard several talking heads on BNN (which I watch infrequently) disparage the Consumer Staples sector and ATD specifically, saying the valuations are too high. Which metrics are they using? You haven't rated ATD yet so I haven't found the answer on this site.
I like watching the technicals (but don't react to them). Neither the sector as a whole nor ATD is overbought and in fact the sector is closer to oversold. And, ATD has been on an unbroken uptrend since July of 2009 - but is that a bad thing?

Q: I am still kicking myself at my stupidity. I sold these when 5i sold them from the model portfolio and bought FM and G when FM was still in the model portfolio thinking it was on sale.I have since been in contact with the IR at FSV and the future looks good they assure me.FM has gone south quickly since their massive offering. There are lots of other stocks that are more "expensive" in the model portfolio.I am just disappointed at the choice of resource stocks by 5i and the damaged caused in my returns.

Q: Your comments on their 3rd quarter results please. Looks like they continue to forge ahead. I have most of the balanced portfolio with full positions, and half of the growth at 3% positions or less for a total of 60% per your suggestion. Re your philosophy of adding to a winning position, and considering Kinaxis performance to date would you bring it up to a full position.
Thanks Peter

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I saw this article on National Post that could be driving down ATD.B. Sounds like Credit Suisse analysts are saying that its price to cash flow ratio is inflated and that it's driving a bubble in consumer stocks. What are your thoughts on this? I have a fairly large position (~8%) in ATD.B and don't want to get caught in a sector falling out of favor (like what just happened in biotech).

Q: Peter and Team,

What stocks in the Model Portfolio might fall into the category of "Roll-up companies" that seem to be getting attacked by short sellers lately?

Q: What is your opinion on cpd?
is it a buy now and what is your future outlook?
Would cpd rise with a rise in interest rates and with interest rates at the bottom this would be a good entry here?

Q: Drt-Please advise when it reports.Yahoo finance states Nov 4-9,& Eps of .04 & $58.51m revenue. Gxi-On Bnn today,B Campbell of Stone Castle states that the new CEO cut $6m - $6.5m costs resulting in increase of EBITDA from $6.5m to $12m on $65m revenue.It reports on Nov 12.Given its record of overpromising & underdelivering,albeit a new Ceo,it is an entry point now.As always,appreciate your usual great services & views.
