Investment Q&A

Q: Good morning,

I read an article in the Toronto Star this morning regarding the expected strong growth in robotics (manufacturing etc.) over the next 10 years .Quoting the article, growth quadrupling by year 2025.

Can you please provide two or three of your best ideas in this space from a best risk/reward perspective(either US or Canadian) that would stand to profit the most if these projections come close to fruition.

Thanks
Tom

Been looking for an entry point for QCOM but wondering about the long term impact of the Samsung going with a different chip provider. It looks like the market may have over reacted to one quarter but wanted your opinion here.

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).

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: Peter:What are your thoughts on Microsoft's results. Is it a buy ? Thanks.
