Q: Good morning 5i
A number of people have commented on the large amount of cash that Berkshire is holding and worry about it. Mr. Buffet says they haven’t seen much to swing at and mentions that it is not a bad time to hold cash, given numerous unresolved and potentially dangerous situations in the world at the moment. I realize that Mr. Buffet has much more money than the average investor and that makes buying significant assets more difficult. I would be interested in your take on this?
With appreciation

Q: Hello Peter,
You had provided Tppicus expected numbers: 34 cents for EPS and $292M Euros. The company beat the revenue numbers but was short on EPS; however , Cash flow per share grew. Analysts in general seem to focus on Revenue and EPS; When looking at analysts estimates, i dont see CF per share mentioned. Why is that? If i had to choose between sunlife, manulife and Fairfax, which one would be your top pick? There was an article in the Globe that Fairfax has a huge runaway when comparing to Berkshire.. Any comments please. Thanks very much.

Q: Hi team,

In your replies to questions you sometimes refer to "sleep at night stocks". Those above were so qualified, among others.
I would very much appreciate if you could provide a good list of such stocks at this point, both Canadian and U.S., in order of potential growth in 5 years or less, with a short comment summarizing your present view on each.

Please use as many credits as you see fit.

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: Hello,

I'm investing some savings of my mother she doesn't need before many years but we avoid higher risk stocks, she is 75 years.

Actually, she owns BN, GSY, TFII.

Looking to add 1 or 2 stocks to this list. I have been looking to your porfolios and considering ATD, PBH, DOL, PBH, SHOP. CDR could be a nice opportunity with VISA for exemple.

How would you rank them for potential return on 3 to 5 years? Do you see better opportunities?

Thanks,

Q: What is your opinion on the use of CDR's (Canadian Deposit Receipts) for the purchase of US Stocks? Also, what type of accounts would be the most beneficial and be the most risk in the use of them, RRSP, TSFA, RESP, or non-registered accounts?
I've recently purchased Palo Alta, Visa and Adobe using CDR's and it seems to be a way of getting US exposure while avoiding the immediate approximate 30% currency exchange, while using a CAD hedging process.
If you are somewhat positive on CDR's, what other US stocks would be good considerations.

thanks,
