Q: Hello 5i team,
Although 5i Research does not follow normally US Companies I wonder if you have an opinion about Equinix a US Company that operates interconnected data centers across the globe. (EQIX) The share price has quadrupled since 2012 it seems to be in the right space benefiting immensely from Cloud Computing but it has a very high P/E multiple (289 according to www.theglobeandmail/globe-investor).

Thanks

Q: I got wacked on my WEQ shares yesterday. A drop of 50%+ is it worth hanging on to see if they can get this watered down company headed in the right direction. Will the troubles of Fort McMurray be a real boon for this company and others like Badger and Black Diamond? Who are the winners in Fort McMurray. mike

Q: I own these 4 stocks in my TFSA account in which SIS is 2% holding overall all accounts and the other 3 are 1% overall. From reading the questions that have been asked on theses 4 stocks , you feel that DRT is a hold as well as GUD? I would like to increase my holdings so do think that it would be best to add to PLI and SIS at this time and not GUD or DRT?

Thanks
Dolores

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

Superior announced the following today:

TORONTO - Superior Plus Corp. (TSX:SPB) is selling its construction products distribution business to a U.S. company for the equivalent of C$420 million.

The US$325-million agreement was announced Tuesday by Toronto-based Superior, a few days after the collapse of a proposed takeover of Canexus Corp., a Calgary-based chemical company.

Superior Plus has a diversified business in three industries, including propane distribution and specialty chemicals.

It says the divestment of its construction products business will simplify Superior's organization and provide cash to reduce debt.

What is your take on this? Do you think they'll achieve their goal of debt reduction? (SPB has been a frustrating stock for me, as I bought it at $11.75, and it closed yesterday at $10.94. However, the yield of 6.75% is nice, given that I hold SPB in my RRIF.)

Thanks as always for your valued advice.
