Q: Hi Peter,

This stock was suggested in the Financial Post prior to the health care correction. Would you consider it a hold? I could tax loss sell?

Thanks for the great service. I too recently renewed for two years.

Q: In a response to Paul today, you described CSU as a template on how to run a company. Can you list a few other companies, perhaps in other sectors that you view as extraordinarily well run, whether their share prices reflect this or not?

Thanks for your wonderful service.

Q: Could you give an opinion of the fmv of the shares? Is applying a 15 p/e based on earnings growth of 15-20% too conservative or simplistic or should one focus on other metrics like roe etc? I own these shares and they have been on a nice run the past 3 weeks. I am leaning towards just holding for now. Thanks.

Q: Hi Guys. With all the hype of 5 Star Wars releases in the next 5 years plus the merchandising to go with it. Is Disney priced to perfection at this point or does it have room to move to the upside if it starts smashing worldwide box office records? This is of course in addition to all its other upcoming high profile film releases. Not to mention media properties, parks, cruise ships etc.

Q: Given the comparable valuations would it make sense to sell my position in Enghouse and buy an equal weighting in Descartes so as to remain in the tech sector? That is to say does Descartes have a larger gain ahead of it over the next 1-2 years?

Thanks

Q: I think I may have experience a time out, so apologize if i have dupliacted this.
Not a question, but a comment in response to the posting of the Globe and Mail article referring to ``PHM in Steep decline``. First off, this article may be misleading to members as it was written on Oct.19th. The SP for PHM has increased since then and by roughly 30% in the last 5 days. I am quite pleased with this as I thought I was fortunate when I had a buying opportunity at $.63. You can imagine my chagrin when the price maintained its downward spiral and hit a low of $.44. I held for the same reason I bought. Despite the ugly series of events that precipitated the downward trend, I felt the fundamentals supported the thesis that this stock was unjustly oversold. I experienced the same scenario with Concordia. I excitedly bought CXR at $54. Then, out of a sense of recouping some of my loss, I bought at $45. We all know the story, and I feel fortunate to have bought my last lot at $30. By doing so, I was able to average my cost to $44. Today the stock is over $50. I only wish I had the fortitude to have bought at its ``bottom`` of $25. Needless to say, during a negative Market backdrop, I am thankful that I maintained my confidence in the fundamentals of these two stocks and feel they both have tremendous upside. Thank you to 5i for your guidance in teaching us to recognize true fundamentals, and my simple message to other new investors and members of 5i … try not to be overly swayed by all that is written by the `` Talking Heads``
Thank you, Rick

Q: Some guys in my stock group think oil is a real long term dud beause of American shale. The infer it is much worse than people suspect from the supply side, indicating the US has just scratched the surface on their ability to recover this cheap oil.If I heeded this news it would discourage me from ever buying any oil stock in the future since demand will never come close to making up for this new technology which is also allegedly being exported all over the world. Do you think this idea is over blown, for the short and long term
