Q: HiPeter
I know you are high on this stock and guessing you are looking at the big drop as buying opportunity. Other than a few larger caps like CTC,MG,CNQ, I do not buy larger quantities if dividends are under 3%. That is the effective rate now at $8 per share. If the stock went back up to $10 or more,do you anticipate raising dividends to get to that rate or do you believe I will adequately rewarded otherwise(share price appreciation and dividend annually averaging more than a 5% yield on what you call an income stock)
Thanks for all you do

Q: Hello team
I noted that Patrick Horan said that a competitor of Sandvine's was up for sale with about a 35% premium. He said that the competitor was much smaller than Sandvine. Do you have any idea who the competitor is. Patrick made positive comments on SVC. What do you guys think of SVC?

Thank You for your good work

Impressed to see them raise 23M dollars for a start up tech fund listed on the TSX-V. What do you know (or think) of the players involved (SSK Planet, Stanford University, JJR Private Capital). Would you recommend this stock for a speculative position in a portfolio?

Q: The following is a comment you made earlier. I am wondering if this pertains to the stock ET or the etf.
Any way, I am also interested in acquiring ET, and if this is the case, what would you consider an appropriate stink bid, and should this be put in place thanks
Thanks for your usual good service

"However, sometimes the price will go down during the day, and not all ETF managers utilize market at close trading. Thus, putting in a stink bid on a stock can sometimes get you a good fill. We always find this trading interesting, because it is a time when fundamentals do not matter. Index players simply trade because of the index, meaning good companies can trade more cheaply on occasion without any change in their prospects. "

Q: Hey Folks, In a recent response you liked OTC. I hold a few of the larger Canadian tech names, including CGI. How does its growth profile compare to OTC? I also noticed that CGI has had tons of insider selling over the past year. How concerned should I be about that? Thanks for you comments.
Read Answer Asked by Noel on January 26, 2015
Q: One pundit who is long CGI Group, as am I, thinks 2015 is the year this company makes a large takeover which ought to give the stock a big boost. How likely is that and how much cash are they sitting on since they pay no dividend yet seem to have been profitable for many years? I've held this stock since 2013 in US $ which of course has limited the appreciation and I'm wondering if I should continue holding for this possible event or fold sale proceeds into one of the current tech holdings and if the latter, which 1 or 2? Current p/f weight of GIB is 1% and other tech holdings (total 12%) are CSU 4% AYA 3% ESL, MDA, AAPL all 1% and SYZ and AVO 0.5%. We are in our late 60's, retired, but can take some risk in this area. Thanks to 5i for the handsome gains in most of these names except AVO (so far), J.

Q: Hello, Peter and the team,

I hope you have had a restful week end. Reviewing my portfolio I noticed that I am under-weighted in IT sector (about 3% holding GIB.A), and am thinking to add either CSU or OTC. What do you suggest between them based on risk/reward point of view, or you have other name to suggest for one to two years of holding time? Thanks,

Lin
