Q: The % of my portfolio that is correlated to oil/gas is at an all time low since the oil price meltdown. I also dumped a few hydro carbon stocks on the way down (Husky/Atlas/EnCana). I am now looking to wade back into the sector to a minor degree. Dividends are not important to me. What is important is relatively decent financial strength, lower cost reserves and good management.
What would you recommend taking a look at?

Q: We've seen that GUD's share price has not been significantly affected despite the market sell-off in the past couple months and the recent sell-off/scare in healthcare. GUD's significant cash position is likely playing a part in this regard acting as a safety net in its valuation.

Are there any other similar early-growth companies out there that have significant cash positions or financial strength that would not be easy targets for a market sell-off?

Q: Hi Peter and team:
This is a curiousity question. Geoff commented today about a question submitted by Sylvia on cxr. I tried to find this question and cannot. I then went to the company lookup section and when I type in crx it of course advises that their have not been any questions as yet. When I type in CXR, I as expected get the q&a's on concordia,however, when I change to Search all text
I get Concordia for both CXR and CRX. Please explain?

Thanks for your time,
Ben

Q: Hey Guys, these three are my "dogs" right now, fortunately, I have a small position in each, less than 1% of my portfolio. Would you keep all three and wait for the recovery or sell two and double down on the other one or sell all three. Time frame 3-5 years.

thanks,

jim

Q: Been a happy shareholder of Dollarama. If one looks at the chart, it's like the late-summer correction didn't even phase it.

There's always talk of increased competition from the dollar stores from the US (Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, Dollar General). Just how much of a threat is this to Dollarama's moat? And if US dollar stores are not a threat, what is their main risk?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I've written to you before about COS. I'm a long term shareholder of this company. I own 100K shares. Will I get a chance to vote on this deal offered by Su - and what's your take? Personally, I think it's a good fit and I think Su will be able to finally! get the syncrude project moving in a better direction (i believe that operation suffers from too many cooks in the kitchen syndrome). many thanks!

Q: I would appreciate your opinion on this company.
Is it a "buy" at this low price?
Could it be a target for a takeover by another company?
Thank you.

Q: Both Concordia and Valeant are down 8.5 and 10% respectively at the moment. Is this due to normal volatility or any consequence of the TPP deal? Would you consider either a bargain over the next three years and which one would you prefer?
Thank you.

Q: Hello, I currently have about 2.3 million in stocks and rrsp mutual funds. I am 56, retired and seem to be doing ok. I'm spending a lot less than when I was working. :)

I am possibly selling my home and have already purchased a home in Florida, spending summers in Canada. I'm clearing about a million dollars. Very tempted to put it all in oil stocks such as surge, wcp, rrx as I think these will be huge gainers once the oil market and overall market starts to cycle back into better waters.

What would you do? I won't need the money for 2 years. I'd like to get a substantial return of course and feel nows a great time. What are your thoughts?
