Q: I have large positions in Cineplex and Interpipeline-the two make up about 20% of my portfolio. I was thinking of bringing the total down to 10% and using the funds to buy Everet Technologies. Your thoughts please?

Q: Hi Peter, I have owned ATD.b for about a year and have done well. I read an article in the Globe re atd.b not being entered in the SPX because of various reasons, so while I am happy with my return, the stock has been going sideways for a while. Should I consider,to the point, might I do better with Loblaws in lieu of the above mentioned article. I need growth and income too. I am open to any replacement stock you might recommend if not the above two. Thanks very much.

Q: Dear 5i
I would like your opinion on the best tactic for growth in the following scenario. In an RRSP account, I have CDZ, SGY, and SYZ
shares , no one position large enough to benefit from the DRIP if available. With new money is it better to increase each position to allow for the DRIP benefit or is it better to diversify with a couple of more stocks, if so which would you suggest and not worry about the DRIP possibility.
Thanks
Kathy

Q: Regarding Dollarama (DOL). I generally like to let my winners run, especially if they are still trading at attractive valuations and I have had a good run with Dollarama however its now trading at 22x 2015 earnings estimates and 19x next fiscal year's earnings estimates.

Do you think its being too cute selling on any additional move up hoping for a pullback close to the $90 level?

I figure yesterday's move in the share price had everything to do with Icahn taking a position in Family Dollar and a bit of last weeks, move was based on the report that Dollarama would make a good fit for one of the dollar stores in the States.

Q: Re: SCL.TO
Shawcor had a great run recently,not so coincidentally the company is preparing to raise capital. Maybe the company is just preparing for some acquisitions or expansion. The valuation seems like is not very rich consider the company's position in its area. I have a position with 35% gain. So what's your take?

Thanks!

Q: Comment to Shirley re: the new EFN preferred share issue: If you are interested in this new issue, I strongly suggest that you consider instead a "market purchase" of EFN.PR.C, which was issued a few months ago, and offers both a better (+0.1%) coupon rate and a higher (9bp) reset rate, while obviously having an identical credit quality and nearly the same reset date (a few months earlier). Furthermore, EFN.PR.C is about to go "ex-dividend", and so will from the start give an additional nearly 41 cent advantage over the new EFN issue. At the moment I'm writing this, EFN.PR.C is trading at $25.00.
