Q: Hi Peter and team,

I'm considering adding to either CSU or ESL which are current holdings or purchasing GIB.A as a new holding. All things being equal in terms of portfolio allocation, which would you recommend, or is there another name you see as a better purchase in the technology space at this time.

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter,

When I first started to subscribe I decided to take not of some of the US stocks you mentioned and thought highly of, as I was in need of some US ideas for that side of my port.

The ideas I recorded that you suggested to certain subscribers were MTSN/PSEM/OREX.

Since March 1 MTSN is down 30%, PSEM is down 20% and OREX is down 13%.

What is your thoughts on these 3 stocks after these tumbles. What happened to them and why? Would you still buy them, hold them if you own them, or sell if you own them?

I know you don't offer detailed coverage on these three but I would appreciate your answers as you seem to be familiar with them.

Thanks in advance.

Q: Hello 5i.
I would like to compare apples to apples. For example I'm comparing BCE to the TSX60 over a period of 5yrs. In TDwaterhouse I look at the graph for BCE for 5yrs and it shows a 55% increase. When I compare it to the TSX60 capped Index it shows BCE at 80% and the index at 25%. Why the difference of 55% and 80%? What goes into calculating the value of BCE over this time frame. Is it the appreciation of the stock price plus the compounded dividend reinvested? Is it the same for the index? Also is it the same for mutual funds?

Q: Does their recent announcement give you more or less confidence about the company's success going forward? The intention to buy back some shares seemed like a good thing. Thanks.

Q: Responding to a question regarding form T1135. CRA website states that for 2014 you can file this form electronically. But when I phoned U-File they told me that I have to sign and send the form using regular mail. Both U-File and CRA website has the mail address. Using U-File I was able to complete the form and print it. Don't know which packages allow you to send this form electronically. Responding to longstanding frustrations with Form T1135, the government announced in the proposed budget that there will be a streamlined process for taxpayers with between $100,000 and $250,000 in specified foreign income.

Hope this helps.
