Q: Hello Peter and Team.
I exited this position @225.00 high is $231.00 and have been following this down daily and have considered pulling the trigger a couple of times but held back.

Today I noticed it seems to perhaps turned the corner for maybe a fresh leg up. Currently up $3.31.

Could I please have your thoughts going forward, in your opinion has a bottom been put in on this stock.

Many thanks and appreciate your answer

Q: I am looking to deploy cash in my TFSA (2016 contribution) and with so many beaten up stocks I am wondering what to buy. I was considering the healthcare section and adding to my existing position in GUD, or perhaps initiate a position in CRH. GUD is now below its financing of $6.75 done around Dec 2014. What are your comments on GUD? Add now or wait for a better market? Or do you prefer CRH or something else in the healthcare sector. Longer term hold, and for a TFSA.

In healthcare I own CXR and GUD, smaller positions in DR and PHM, and very small positions in SIS and PM.

Q: HellO and a question re the overall Global market condition.
It would appear we are in a Bear market with no bottom in site yet. What strong Canadian areas in the Utilities, Consumer and Industrial areas would you suggest one parks some money currently. It does appear money is rotating to these areas out of the more risky areas to safety. Thank you for your insight.

Q: Good afternoon

Could you please provide your best ideas for 6 Canadian companies with solid and growing dividends (preferably yielding in excess of 3% today) that I would be appropiate to stick into a non-registered account for at least the next 5-10 years.

Thanks as always

Q: Hello team,

I was wondering if you had an opinion on Valero. It would seem that in this environment it would flourish with the availability of cheap oil. The stock has fallen from over 73 to the 53 level and has an interesting multiple and dividend. What am I missing here?

Also, have you ever considered adding a U.S. portfolio to your roster?

Q: Hi Peter, Considering current downturn in biotechs and future overhang of US elections, do you think I would be better off to wait until August/September this year to pick up CXR or NHC? Also I read biotech prices are inversely proportional to interest rates. So do you think it is a good bet to hold CXR at this time when fed is tightening? I have 30% of my portfolio in cash. Should I hold off until August or September(weakest month)to deploy them for a 10 year hold?

Q: Hello Peter and the 5I team

What are signs of a value trap?? Do you have a check list that you can follow? I am wondering if MG could be a value trap. I heard that a good sign of a value trap is a low P/E ratio compared to historic levels ( this may seem like a obvious sign). What things do you look for? I was wondering what your general opinion is on MG and do you feel that the car parts cycle is over or on a decline?

Thanks
