Q: Good Morning Team,

I'm thinking of switching some money out of my current financial holdings into FSZ but am not sure if it's a good idea. What I mean is that, while the yield is much better with FSZ, its PE is more or less on a par with the big banks. At present, I have HCG 4.4%, TD 3.3% & RY 1.9%.
I would appreciate your thoughts.
As always, thank you very much.

Q: You've commented many times about pooor management at WIN and the poor ability (communication) of management at AVO.

Given what happened with WIN, am I better off avoiding these companies with weak management, despite what business acumen they may have?

Q: I already own CGI which has finally moved a bit: I was thinking of buying OTEX FPE of 13 - really beat last Q EPS. Being a CDN co. is it listed on the TSX? And, given it's recent results is it a buy - does it's business overlap that of CGI?

Q: I bought half a position today @ $1.84 for the following reason. They have a lot of cash, patents, experience and are divesting what experience tells them to drop. If WIN were a private company with an IPO today, I suspect it would trade north of $5.00. What do you think? (before I buy the other half!) Thanks for the ongoing support.

Q: Sorry another question on wilan. Skippen says that the dividend will be cut but does not exclude possibility of special dividends.
Would his strategy be to drive the share price down so the company can buy more shares at a cheap price and then collect a special dividend on more shares they would own. Is that a strategy that companies have used in the past? Is it a possibility they would do that or even ethical?

Q: Hi 5i My local lumber yard suggested I put my lumber order in as soon as possible as they are expecting an increase in pricing. They have been told from a supplier that demand from the U.S. is increasing and price increases will follow. My question is ADN has been going down the last few weeks but ADN has just increased its dividend, as boots on the ground would you take this as an opportunity to buy into ADN. Thx Gerry

Q: The tax loss selling season is fast approaching and the top name on my list is CPG. I bought CPG at $27.30 and I wonder from a TA standpoint does it have the momentum to hit $20.70 before YE?

I'm willing to take a $7 per share loss. Is it too optimistic? I almost pull the trigger the last time it went over $20, but "greed"/ "hope" pulled me back. I really want to unload this one before YE and move on. Please advise. Thanks.

Q: Thoughts on their earnings released just this hour. Missed on earnings and stock already hammered.

Any red flags regarding the sustainability of the company? Even if you lop off 20% of estimated 2015 earnings the stock is trading at 11x. How cheap have you seen these type of businesses get?

Thanks.

Thanks.
