Q: Hello, with the Dow down more than 4% twice this week, can you comment based on your observations (volume, block size, leverage or other) and experience if the automated trading could explain this volatility and trigger this panic. Also, would you know if the level of leverage and use of derivatives has increased over the last few years or vs 2008 ? Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i team
Over the past few years I have been slowly rebalancing my portfolio to be more diversified. There are a few positions that the market has helped me rebalance. Tourmaline is the most prominent name. I am down 50% in this stock. The reasons I have held on to it are good management, good balance sheet, good assets, (a colder winter). The problems with the stock price is not in their execution but rather the business they are in. How does a stock owner decide if they want to keep a position, add to a position, or sell in an industry that my take some time to recover. I originally thought a cold winter would have been enough to bring it back but so far I am wrong. If it paid a dividend (and there was mention that they might start one) it would be less of a concern for me. So should I move my money?
Thank you

Q: Hi Peter:
Would appreciate your thoughts on Kraken Sonar, small cap company with interesting technology. The made a small profit in Q3 but their history is more of an R&D business. Do you see greater revenue growth in the coming quarters with their product lines?
Thanks for your great service, have found your site to be very helpful in earning above market returns.

Q: Greetings 5i,
I would like to revisit Oshkosh. What are your thoughts? Debt levels? Growth prospects? Seems overlooked these past couple days while we see other Defence stocks move up. Looks like a decent entry point perhaps?
Cheers!

Q: I have sent Avigilon's Investor relations an inquiry about this, but, in general, wouldn't there be a shareholder's vote on the takeover? I don't usually stick around for these things (I take my profits and run!) but in this case I don't like the offer very much and would definitely vote against it. The only mitigating factor now however is the announcement that the CEO is retiring. Do you think this news is material to the possibility of another offer?
Thank-you.
Thank-you.
Q: Scotia just published an upbeat analysis of LIF which indicated a 10 per cent yield. However, other sources indicate much lower yields, which may be due to varying quarterly payouts. Your opinion, please.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Q: I am curious in your experience in the past with similar corrections 10% or more. What are the companies that benefit from the eventual recovery? Is it the companies hit hardest in the correction that rebound or the companies that weather the storm and continue to outperform?
Q: I have a question about 3151
Is it worth holding onto Viemed? Or should I trim the fat and deploy the money elsewhere?

Q: hey Peter & Team,
From what I can see results on the recent report were mixed but overall the year wasn't horrible. Yet, the stock is down over 50% since June, 2017 including the big hit today.
Would you mind commenting on the recent report and letting me know what am I missing here?
Thanks for all you do
Gord

Q: Im thinking about buying Alaris in my non-registered account for the dividend. Is this a good time to buy? It seems they have been slowly addressing their problems and improving the balance sheet. What are your thoughts and what risks should I be aware of?
Q: I am rebalancing 5% of USD portfolio with objective of reducing overall Beta to face an increasing volatility patch.
My Question is on IGHG, that has performed well in the current environment. In a well balanced growth tilted portfolio , would you see any objection in increasing this position from 5% to 10%? I realize that trading volumes are sub-optimal. But I like the protection given to rate increase with zero duration in an otherwise benign credit risk environment, especially with ongoing strong growth in US and no sign of yield curve inversion on horizon. It also seem to give me an even safer hedging strategy to rising rates than with TBF, for which your comments were really appreciated.
