Q: Hi Peter and team,
One of the first companies I ever bought when I started investing 7 years ago was Canadian Oil Sands - now with oil hitting $100 I'm thinking about selling it for something with more growth. I want something that pays a decent, rising dividend. I'm leaning towards adding to my ESL, HCG or starting a position in CGX.
I currently own AD, AP.UN, AX.UN, BNP, BNS, BEP.UN, BIP.UN, CNR, COS, CSU, CFN, EIF, ESL, HCG, IPL.UN, KMP, PEY, RY, TD, THI, TOT and Telus all about equal weight. My 2 dogs are Penn West and Longview that I hope to clean up over the year.
Thank you for your valuable service!!

Q: something seriously cooking at ESL ?
Q: Hi Steve
I read the News Release "Enghouse Renews Normal Course Issuer Bid". Do you think this will result in higher sales price due to fewer stock?
Why would a company that is acquiring companies give up $40 million to buy stock that is paying out 1.5% dividends annually?
Can you help me make sense of this????

Q: Hi Peter and 5i: Can you please explain the difference between "Floating Shares" and "Shares Outstanding" and the potential significance of it for an investor looking at a stock. I've noticed the difference is sometimes quite large. For example with Enghouse (ESL), FS is 17.5 million but SO is nearly 26 million, according to my discount broker's site. Maybe not a lot of shares in absolute numbers relative to some companies but proportionally it seems like a lot. Thanks, as always.
Q: I would like to tendeer my shares of Softchoice (SO.T) and was wondering on your opinion on which equity I should buy (about $2500)of the following:
Enghouse System (ESL.T), DCI.TO, ACQ or WPK?
Thank you kindly,
Romeo

Q: What is your opinion on eng ratings will you change your rating dave
Q: ESL just reported first quarter results. This line was included:
Operating expenses increased to $23.0 from $14.9 million in the prior year's first quarter and include incremental operating costs related to acquisitions as well as special charges related to restructuring of acquired operations. Non-cash amortization charges in the quarter were $3.6 million and include amortization charges for acquired software and customer relationships from acquired operations.
Buffett refers to these in his recent letter saying some are not real and it makes sense for the investor to adjust for them. Do you agree? Is this what the company is doing when they show adjusted EBITDA?

Q: Hi Peter,
My Question is about ESL's recent acquisition of Locus Holdings. The shares are up over 5% since the announcement, despite the acquisition's small size relative to ESL itself. Would now be a good time to take some profits and move over to CSU or MDF?
Regards,
Mike

Q: Hello,
In my TFSA, I own STN, BAD, WIN, BEP.UN, and SLW. I recently made my $5500 contribution for 2013 and was wondering if you might suggest how I should make use of this money. I am currently in my early 30s and am very much in favour of seeing growth in my portfolio. As always, thank you for the great advice.

Q: Hi Peter, you have profiled two companies that have recently run up, ESL and BAD, and I am wondering which you feel is cheaper not on a strict valuation basis but based on where you think they should be trading. Thanks.
Q: Hello,
Do you still view ESL as favourably as you did when you first issued the research report. I am thinking of taking a small position in the company and wonder if today's price would be considered a good entry point. Thank you for the very valuable opinions.
