Q: Could the following analyst be asking a valid question or is his POV just a ploy in the old game of getting one to trade?
"Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc.’s share price has soared 60 per cent in the last year thanks to factors such as falling gasoline prices, a rising U.S. dollar, low interest rates and access to credit. But how long can the highs last?
“Seven years ago, a reverse scenario prevailed and we couldn’t convince enough investors to buy the stock,” David Hartley of Credit Suisse said in a note to clients on Monday. “Could we be at reverse point of inflection now?”
Also, just how important to ATD's profitability are gas margins compared to the rest of the business?

Q: I've been sitting on some cash in my NR lately and would like to pick up some new companies, presently, I am holding CSU, BNS, SYZ, FSZ, BEP and SJ. (equal weights + or -). I'm looking at AYA, ENB, ET,STN,DH,SLF,CPD and SPB. I'd prefer to buy something on sale with a dividend but primarily, I only want to hold high quality companies. Proportionally, I should be able to pick up approx. 4 new positions. Thanks
Q: Your opinion of IWG Technologies please? They just released FYE2015 with record sales and profits. It’s their 13th consecutive profitable quarter. 5 year highs on the weekly chart means limited overhead resistance from past shareholders wanting to exit. Can you envision a long run way (pun intended) and can you tell me the real time position size Pender has in this company? I fully realize the risks of owning nanocaps ($13M mc). Thank you.
Canadian Utilities(CU) has been weak recently. Is this due to its exposure to the current Alberta Government policies? Do you still think it is a solid company that is worth holding for income and growth?
Thanks in advance for your opinion on this company.

Q: I sold Capital Power for a loss earlier in fall, with the plan of buying it back - never did - whew! Now I am looking at Emera or Fortis, to keep my utility weighting.

Q: Every time there is a quarterly reporting, there are a flurry of questions seeking your opinion of them.
While there may be annoying aspects to this, I do find it useful.
Whenever I read a companies PR release on earnings, everything seems fantastic to me (until I look at market reaction and see negativity where I thought all was roses)
Could you give a short (3-5?) list of the most important figures to look for in order of importance in your opinion so that I can do a realistic down and dirty evaluation on my own immediately?
