Q: Good morning. My best wishes to all, and I hope everyone is well. I am puzzled as Concordia continues to be punished while Valeant is having a nice pop. I purchased a small position in CXR based on the thinking that the baby had been thrown out with the bathwater. It seemed to me that CXR was condemned as guilty by association. Are there any other factors at work here? Would you consider adding to the position once the rout ends?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Q: It has been a year since you last commented on Syntel. What is your view of the company at this time?
Q: Bought Teva in a dip a few years ago and have done pretty well with it. Know they face competition as patents for their MS drug roll off, which I believe represents 50% of their current profits, but never seems to be a bad as analysts predict. See the stock has dipped a bit as they've announced a couple of large acquisitions which look to me to be accretive. Any thoughts on the stock, thinking I might add some more here.
Q: Just wondering at current valuations what you feel about accumulating shares now in Canadian Tire and CP rail for long term holds. Thanks.
Q: Hershey had a bad third quarter results. Headline, Hershey cuts forecast on weak demand (slower growth)and higher marketing costs. Hershey's executives are saying. There is a growing gap between low-income and high-income buying patterns. Sanford Bernstein analyst says, there are health and wellness concerns and the premiumization of the chocolate category. Thus, what are your opinions--sell or buy and etc.? Is it a permanent or temporary shift?
Q: This project seems to be progressing nicely on budget and on time. What are your thoughts for a longer-term speculative buy. Apparently the major owners are looking for this to provide dividends -- at quite a high rate -- versus growth. Clearly we will not know until it is up and running if they can do that. Micheal Smedley just rated it as a buy. Thoughts?
Q: Hello Peter, can you tell me where can I find details of cumulative redeemable preference shares like, life, call price/date,etc. Which one of the above would you suggest, perhaps a better on or two.

Q: I just received your reply to my question about LIF and in the reply you used the term OK 4 times. Once you had ' ' around OK. I have noticed the use of OK in many of your other answers as well. I am never quite sure how to interpet the use of this term. Does it mean JUST OK. i.e. "We don't really like it but it's not bad enough to dump on it" OR is it to be viewed in a more positive light. It always seems to me to be a bit of fence sitting.
Q: I realize past performane does not not indicate future performancebut MRU has outpermormed L and EMP.A on 5, 10 and 20 year metrics. I am looking for a long term consumer staple so at present I am thinking MRU or maybe all 3 makes sense also.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Q: I had held LIF for a few years and sold it earlier this fall to take advantage of a tax loss. Am thinking of buying back in once Tax Loss Selling season starts (late Nov). Materials would represent 10% of my Cdn Equity portfolio broken down between SJ, AGU, AFN and LIF in fairly equal percentages.
In the short term I am buying primarily for the dividend income and understand Capital Appreciation may not take place for a few years till Iron Ore prices improve.
Your thoughts on my plans for the materials section of my portfolio and at current Iron Ore prices is LIFs dividend secure?
