Q: Good afternoon,
Some very astute investors (eg. Rick Rule) seem to like Altius (ALS) a great deal. However the stock has not performed for a very considerable period. Would you retain a position in this company?
Thank you.

Q: I do a yearly review of my portfolio and stocks I may be interested in buying for the future. This year I decided to add EPS, dividend payout and profit margin to other metrics I look at. Please help me understand how companies can continually pay out more than they take in, especially when their profit margins are low or in the negative. An example I was looking at was BPF.UN. The web site I was looking at shows EPS as -0.15, dividend payout 1.18 and profit margin as -6.48.

Q: Beta. You were asked where to find Beta. He might look at his brokerage firm. FYI, my Investors Edge account lists beta (under the performance screen) for about 90% of the stocks that I follow.

Q: Peter, what is going on with CUS do you think. Even to-day when everything is up-even ECI-this one is still headed down. Anything I read looks positive long term. My neighbour is an engineer at the plant here in BC and he is quite positive on the company and owns a lot of shares. Should I buy more at some pont? Thank you...JP

Q: My question is about Student Transportation.This stock lists two dates re: their dividend. It has an ex div date of 11/28/12 and a payout date of 12/17/12. Would you still get the dividend payout if you sold after the ex dividend date? Thank you. I appreciate all that I am able to learn from 5i. It really broadens my thinking.
