Can i have your opinion.

Thanks as always!

Q: Hi, I am down 16% with Aimia. It is now 2.5% of my portfolio. My average holding is 3.2%. Should I add to my position or do you see more down side? Maybe I should sell it? Jeff

Q: Hi Peter and Team, what are your thoughts on Amaya picking up Israeli developer DiWip? Seems like interesting technology for AYA to add going forward, unless LAB/Diwip is a done deal already! Intertain, IT, plus Diwip a possibility? Thanks!

Q: Hi,

What is the rumour regarding acquisition that management issued a press release on today?

Q: Greeting, Peter & Co.
I fund and administer RDSPs for three young girls on the autism spectrum. Although I still have a 10 year time horizon I fortunately have no energy exposure in these portfolios. I am considering a small position in High Arctic Energy (HWO) as well as a position in a, yet to be determined, large cap energy company. My rationale is:
HWO has operations in Papua New Guinea (PNG) (74%) and Alberta (26%). Although HWO is not a typical Canadian energy services company its 6 month share price decline is identical to that of Calfrac and slightly less than some of the other Canadian companies in this sector. The PNG operations include services and equipment rentals to natural gas companies that provide natural gas to a new LNG plant that has very long-term supply contracts. The Alberta operations, in my opinion, containing more risk than PNG, are similar to those of other Canadian energy service companies.
HWO had a good Q3 and the balance sheet is solid. There is enough cash on hand to cover the CAPEX for the additional rigs that will be delivered in 2015. The dividend was recently increased by 10% to 5.3% at the current share price of $3.73 leaving a very low payout ratio.
Please advise me of any errors in my numbers or logic and your assessment of HWO.
With great appreciation for your most valuable service.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
I am currently holding GILD Gilead Sciences, CXR Concordia Healthcare and CCT Catamaran.

I am thinking to add one small cap of this sector into my p/f and am looking at GUD Knight Therapeutic and PLI ProMetic Life Science. Which one would you recommend. If you do not these two, pls suggest another one.

Thank you for you healp.

Q: Hello again your thoughts on Cxi

Q: I bought this stock a month ago and have a small position and it was my intention to purchase more shares later by dollar cost averaging. I wasn't planning on doing this so quickly but with the recent down grade by Credit Suisse on this company and the price drop in the past few days, would you consider this to be a good time to increase my position. As they are reporting earnings on the 25th could the recent downgrade be attributed to speculation to a possible poorer result and if that is the case would I be better to wait until after the earnings report.

Thank you,

B

Q: Could you give me an outlook for Hammond here.
How is the balance sheet look?
Is this a buy at these levels and is the dividend safe?

Q: Would you comment on Hammond Power please. I'm in no hurry, but I would have thought that the lower C$ would have kicked in by now. Thank you.

Q: In spite of the much improved 2015 Q1 operating results over 2014 Q1, LMP's stock price had dropped from its highs in August/September by some 40% by early November (although it has a major rally over the last week or so but still down significantly from its highs). Your comments on this company going forward would be much appreciated.

H.S.

Q: I just heard on BNN that someone (didn't catch which brokerage) had just downgraded atd.b which I hold and have done well with, to a SELL. Kind of shocked at that. What do you make of it. Real Bad News to come??? or what
Thank you Peter and Staff for all you do.
I have learned a lot from your site.

Q: Prometic Life Sciences (PLI) has gone up from $!.60 in the last short while to as high as $2.20 and now they are doing a $25M financing. I tried to buy 25,000 shares and received zero! Is this stock a little expensive or would you buy it and hold for three years?
Thanks.
