Q: Recently, when running stock screens for US companies showing a combination of value/growth characteristics, these two companies (Applied Industrial Technology and Sun Hydraulics)constantly showed up for their strong fundamentals. I do realize that you specialize in Canadian stocks but wondered if you had an opinion on these two companies for a long term investor. Thank-you.

What do you think of those choices?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,

Q: Hi Peter and staff
I have a small position , started at $6 and kept buying a bit more including some at $10 when TD was predicting $11 or $12. Now at $8 - ok to add to a small position on HOLD or SELL

Q: What do you think of PTS? I purchased it about 8 months ago and it's down 11% since then. It's down by >50% since early 2014. I'm trying to decide whether I should bail or not. It has a decent enough forward PE and seems to be in a good business niche but it continues to disappoint.
Q: I am looking to invest in 15 companies that are listed on the Cdn stock exchanges and earn the majority of their revenues from the US. What would be your recommendations? I don't need you to consider diversification as I will manage that within my portfolios. Thanks.

Q: Hi Guys,
I sold WTE a few years ago and have regretted it ever since and have not been able to buy back for lower than I sold. It seems to hold it's value very well and I'm wondering why it hasn't shown weakness since coal Seems to be out of favour right now. Do you think it's a good hold for income?
Thanks

Q: Hello, I am curious what you think the effect of the US raising rates will have on the market in general. I am assuming global money will flow into the US and send it higher. But what effect does it have on emerging markets. Will some of that money be heading to the US as well?
A little birdie has told me that a-lot of emerging market debt is priced in US as well. The above scenario would put a-lot of pressure on these countries. Is it a safer bet to sell my position in XMM and redeploy somewhere else?
Thank-you for the great service.

Q: Hello Peter, can you provide some information on this company. Is it a good buy going forward? Thank you, Jen
Q: This is a tiny company but appears to be capturing market share in an established business( cash management etc) via new technology 80% of revenue is recurring. As typical of software company large gross margins ( 73%). I think they make as much as 3 cents a share profit this year, no debt and as almost all their business is in the US the appreciating US dollar really helps them. Assuming a 20% growth rate over next few years how does one evaluate this company?

Q: The stock has been going in one direction since Feb and I am now down over 30%. With silver being down only 10% since SLW peak in Feb I can attribute stock decline to tax related issues only...? Should I just cut my losses and sell? Do you see any upside potential in short-mid term (1-2 years)?
Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I hold a small position in MIC and have felt stock would go up when rates they charged went up. I have stayed away from fund managers fearing fee disclosure would affect them. Having said all this I assum from comments in the past and today's report on FSZ that you would endorse a switch from MICto FSZ? Am I correct ?
Thanks for all you do

Q: I have a stock in my RRSP which has risen from $50 to $100. I have been advised to sell this stock ( pay approximately 20% tax), re- buy this same stock ( at the current $100 price) but place it in a TFSA. Does this make financial sense?
