Q: FAR has been showing some improvement over the past year. Earnings are improving (though still negative), P/B, P/S and P/CF look good, and debt seems manageable (~50%), although margins and ROA, ROE, ROI etc. are still terrible. It is only covered by one analyst, but the rating is Strong Buy. I bought speculatively when there was some minor insider buying and am currently showing a small profit. I'm debating whether to continue holding should a mining / energy sector rise float this boat. Thoughts?

Q: Please comment on earnings and the (seemingly) strong reaction to a modest quarterly miss this morning? SP is off 12% at the open. YTD results are still ahead of last year. Is this an entry point and would you recommend ARE for a long term (5+ years) hold?

Q: I am a retired, conservative, dividend-income investor with a well balanced portfolio. I am considering a switch from CJ into PEY.
For background, I own full positions in ALA, AQN, FTS, TRP and half positions in WCP and CJ.
RBC has had an Outperform rating on CJ for several quarters, but it has been lagging. Should I give it more time?
Is PEY a better fit into my portfolio, for diversification of gas vs oil, small vs mid vs large cap, and consistent long term growth?
Thanks, Steve

Provide provide your view on the recent weakness of XTC (Exco Technologies). Do you think there are company specific issues (and if so what are the issues) or generally tied to the overall weakness of auto part stocks.

Q: Hi 5i. In April of 2015, you discussed Cdn Dividend ETF's, and suggested that because CDZ (iShares Cdn Div Aristocrats) focused on Co's that regularly increase dividends, that it outperforms other Cdn. Div. ETF's, particularly over the long term.
Do you still consider this view to be valid, particularly as it compares to XDV (iShares Cdn. Select Div. ETF) and ZDV (BMO Cdn. Div. ETF). Thanks T.
