Q: Morning,

What do you recommend for an owner of CBL given the current events? It's trading under $14 this morning which is below the number I believe the company intends to repurchase at. How would you act given the news?

Thanks!

Q: No recent news, reporting date is April 7th I believe.
1. Would you expect some type of announcement along with results?
2. Market seems to suggest any offer would be above $4.25, what do you believe would be a fair offer and what would you advise for current shareholders? Buy, Sell or Hold.

Regards,

Robert

Q: If the C$ continues to gain some additional momemtum, how would that FX affect Boyd going forward. I note that the ROE is negative and their net profit margins are also low to negative, their PE pretty high but it has been a solid performer to date. Should the above factors be important if a person is thinking of buying into the company at this juncture. Would you suggest any other company you like better in this category. Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and 5iResearch team,
I bought this company a year ago, as I believe the need for hip and knee replacements will continue to rise. I was also in an Alberta hospital recently and realized that the beds in the recovery room were also Stryker. Has had a good run, do you still like it for long-term hold or is valuation to high and ready for pullback. Thank you. Linda

Q: Hello 5i

Could I have your thoughts on the company and the latest earnings? Seems interesting. Earnings appear to be heading in the right direction although illumination was off a bit. Seeing as the stock is trading pretty much where it was a year ago would this be a good entry opportunity as growth from acquisitions is expected to continue?

Q: I know that you generally do not cover US stocks but I would appreciate any thoughts you might have on Fly. It is down approximately 12% over the past year. The yield is 7.72% and I wonder how safe you felt was and is it sustainable. I also see that there is a class action on going with this stock. Any other info would be greatly appreciated.

Q: Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan posts 13% return in 2015 and 10.3% annualized since 1990, see Globe and Mail article. Are these returns for real? Even Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway did not come close to these results. Do you know any publically traded companies that achieved similar results?
