Q: just a comment. There is presentation by Paul Colbourne at the CIBC oil and gas conference at Whistler from Jan. 21 that can be listened to via webcast for anyone still holding SGY.
SGY has moved more than 50 % since the presentation. Colbourne talks of his extensive experience and having managed companies and prospered thru 3 previous oil crashes. SGY is very well positioned to buy distressed assets as compared to other companies which will be forced to sell assets at distressed prices because of debtloads. Insiders continue to buy.

Q: CCL industries stock has held up relatively quite well during the recent market decline. company made some tuck-in acquisitions recently and has sufficient dry powder if a nice big acquisition opportunity presents itself. With majority of CCL revenue outside Canada and US$ still expected to remain strong for 2016, is it reasonable to believe that company will continue to deliver strong results in foreseeable future? With recent market downturn, stock has come down and appears to be making a good base around $205-$215. Do you consider it an excellent opportunity to buy/add at current levels? Thanks

Q: I used to be in ATD.B but exited too early at about $37. This company seems to have no end in advancing its share price, not to mention the dividend increases/growth (on a percentage basis anyway). Though the dividend part is a bit of a mirage since it started from next to nothing to a very very tiny something.

At $60 today, it is worth the risk to take a position again? It certainly have a history of success, but of course the question is - can it be perpetuated?

Your insight is much appreciated.

Q: As a retiree who has some cash to invest what would be a good/somewhat safe place to invest in during this volatile market? GIC’s don’t pay enough and preferred shares have been hit hard the last year. I am thinking I don’t want to increase my presence in energy and I own a lot of pipelines which are all suffering due to the oil situation but still paying a nice dividend.

Q: Hello Peter,
Any idea why Jean Coutu has been surging of late? Fundamentally it is good and technically, it has a break out. I do not see any positive news to reflect it or is the market realizing the potential (perhaps Metro buying it etc). I have 2% weight in Stella Jones and am thinking of increasing it to 5% as it has had a good pull back. Since CNR has good earnings, could this help Stella Jones as the pullback (from what I understood) reflected the business towards railways, etc Thank you

Q: Many doctors are enthusiastic about GILD's hepatitis-C treatment which, while very, very expensive, is medically unusual for the high proportion of patients it actually cures (versus, many drug therapies are only incremental improvements on the therapies they supercede.) However - and aside from understandable friction over cost - is GILD potentially the victim of its drug's success: the more people they cure, the fewer customers they have remaining? And unlike, say, Apple (who is running out of new customers but can sell old customers an upgrade), cured patients have no reason to come back for more.

Q: Hi Peter and team,
In December, I sold my positions in Black Diamond and Questor for tax loss selling. I can now buy these back, but I am wondering if it would be wiser to use the money to buy different stocks that have been beaten up as much but have a better outlook in the next year. If so do you have any recommendations as to what stocks these may be? Is it wiser to just buy back in BDI and QST and wait for oil to bounce back?
Thanks
Kathy
