Q: Hi

I own Cipher ( DND) and wonder if you see much upside from here based on recent earnings. Do you think the external challenge to one of their drugs will continue to hold the stock back?

Thanks

Q: Good Morning
What is your advice on the % of high risk/reward stocks one may hold in their portfolio? I know this may comes down to an investors personal profile but at what point does it effect overall returns? Through 5i I have become aware of several small but interesting companies such as PLI,DND,INP,ASG,IFA. I have followed your comments closely and hold half positions in each. I now hold about 25 stocks in my porfolio. Should I have been more disciplined and doubled up on some of these positions to keep my porfolio closer to 15 to 20 in size?

Q: Hi Peter and team.
In response to Franks earlier question about DHX's weakness today. I feel it is due to James Hodgins on BNN market call. His opinion is that it no longer has the growth profile since it became a content and distribution play. But that is the opinion of one analyst that I don't share.

Q: Have seen your comments re DHX but it continues to fall.

Q: GIB.A - In September you indicated you were completing a report on CGI and about a month ago you indicated you have held off on the report for a long time. What is the reason for holding off on issuing a report for so long? Would it indicate you are concerned about the future/direction of the company or is that part of your normal process?

Also, you mentioned yesterday that:
"Inter Pipe and Pembina Pipeline hold similar valuations with IPL looking a bit cheaper. Earnings in 2014 are expected to decline for PPL but remain stable for IPL so we would lean toward IPL due to the stability."
Are those GAAP earnings or cash earnings? Would that warrant a switch from PPL to IPL given that decreasing earnings usually isn't a good thing?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Q: Hello Gentlemen,

I have 10K for my TSFA and I am torn between investing in gold or just let my other investment in gold recover. I have 100 shares of G and of course I am still 20% under (it used to be 40% until recently.)

Now here is my question: would you buy CCL.B at this stage or would you buy a junior gold instead, trying to take advantage of its recent rally. I hear that those who ignored gold in the past only learned a lesson that gold did return to its glory and demanded twice as much as its previous peak.

Is this rally going to be any different? Would gold go more than it used to be just two years ago? Would gold teach the same lesson to those who disrespected it?

If the answer is a likely yes, then which junior gold would you recommend? I have been looking at:
CTG, MND, TMM, AR-T, and BTO, unless you have something with even more promise of growth.

Or should I just go buy 100 shares of the CCL.B?

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
