Q: I own all three and would like to increase my weightings up to a maximum 3-5% position in each name. What do you guys think of these names currently? Will the recent news about tempur-pedic affect sleep country much?
Good job on bnn Ryan.

Q: I have no exposure to the oil and gas sector. I am thinking of going 3% to 5% and would like your opinion on whether now is a reasonable time to re-enter this market. If so, would looking at the U.S. market be better than the Canadian Mkt. Any suggested companies or ETF's would be appreciated.

Cheers, Bob

Q: Hi 5i. I recently sold the last mutual fund held in a RRSP. It was AI Clarington Canadian Dividend fund (series X), which has had reasonable (?) performance over several years, but the MER of 2.75% was excessive versus the gains in my opinion.
I am looking to find a couple of ETF's that could replicate the fund. It held roughly 80% Cdn companies, 18% USA, and 1% South America.
As always, your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks T.

Q: According to Yahoo Finance the payout ratio for ABT [Absolute Software Corporation] is 102.3%.

Is that correct?

Why would this company have a payout ratio over 100%?

Thanks.

Q: Good afternoon 5i,

I am wondering what your thoughts are on Logistec. It has come down significant as of late, and looks attractive, to me at least. If my memory serves me well, Mr Hodson has previously given this company a strong endorsement.

Is it a buy at this level, what is its long term outlook. How much insider ownership?

Many thanks,

Karim

Q: I have owned ZZZ since about $22. and it has done very well. The stock went to over $33.but has now come back a couple of bucks. I an assuming that there is no material change or news that is causing this? Some analysts have suggested that ZZZ is getting too expensive. The same was said about Dollarama a few years back and that stock has since tripled. Would you continue to hold this at current levels? Thanks

Q: Peter,
For derivative exposure re. wells Fargo, it has almost none as a percent of total exposure.
for the others:
JPM aound 7%
City around 9%
Goldman around 13%
Morgan Stanley around 28%
So on that metric only, Wells is a pretty good bet, notwithstanding the abomination of what they just did and their complete ignorance of respect of customers (50 shades of gray) and of respect of employees!!
