Q: Thursday saw a further 10% drop in the share price of BNK, on massive volume (3x normal). However, I saw no clear news to justify the drop. Do you have any insight whether the Albanian tax problem is more serious than first appeared ? What is your prognosis for this stock ?

Q: I noticed a little price increase today but I did not see any news out on the company. Do you have anything new today? I also wanted to ask how much each of the metrics you use to grade a company influence the final grade. This company has only one C- but is graded a C+, obviously not every valuation carries the same weight but what is most important to yourselves when evaluating and can I assume that the grade is based on a long term hold in every case? Can you please give the answer as a percentage of each area of the scorecard.
Thank you
Jeremy

Q: What is the payout ratio for TA? It's yield is 13.408% and pays out a quarterly amount of 0.18 for a total of 0.72 per year. It earns 0.66 a share per year. Therefore I figure the payout is 109%. Is this how the pay out rate is calculated. If I am correct. how can a company sustain paying out more than it earns, thanks

Q: hi peter

so i waited for the cos announcement and in it they offer nothing new but promises as usual, and mediocrity. I hope ryan kubik loses his job for the way he has handled this. I'm tendering my shares before the deadline which in reality is tomorrow. Has your view changed at all? Thanks

Q: I own a little ZAR, and it has gone down a lot since I bought it, but now the chart looks interesting, and there has been quite a lot of insider buying lately. Do you think it would be a good idea now to double down, and reduce my ACB?

Q: Good Day,
I see today that CEO and co-founder Lorenzo Donadeo has decided to retire on March 1,2016 as CEO and become chairman of the Board. Any thoughts? The share price is up today so the market doesn't seem to be concerned with this news. Obviously he won't be running the show day to day but as Chairman of the Board will be instrumental in guiding the company.
Thank-you

Q: The Globe had a link to an article that described US shale oil producers as facing a "debt bomb" due to low oil prices, declining cash flow and high debt. The article predicts a serious meltdown in the first half of 2016. My question relates to the impact this could have on US banks? My ETF has been doing ok, and I expect banks to be favoured by rising interest rates. I suppose this question could be extended to other commodity areas and Canadian banks as well. Do you see significant risk in banking in the near term due to debt failure? Thanks

Q: Hi, if you owned the lre convertable debenture right now, expiring in 2018/19, would you sell right now at about 30 cents on the dollar, or continue to hold hoping that interest payments continue and a chance of being able to get capital back at the expiry date?

Q: Peter and Team:
My oil sector in a non registered account consists of BDI, PD, PPY, and SPE. (Down about 50% in all)I am willing to hang in for the long haul, but wonder about the ability of these companies to survive a sustained downturn. Could you please rank in order of "fiscal health".
Also what are your thoughts on moving out of this sector altogether to avoid "lost opportunities". Sector weighting is irrelevant in this higher risk frequently traded account.

Thank you as always.

Phil
