Q: Hello 5i Team: I am retired, and bought CVL for income and moderate growth potential. Am underwater and considering selling, but with the negative impact from low energy prices, a weak economy, and uncertainty of a new government in Alberta, the timing to sell is bad. I am willing to be patient if there are good reasons to expect better times, but am also prepared to take a loss and move on. In assessing future prospects, I'd appreciate your input on two questions.

One, do you feel CVL will be able to increase prices and improve margins on its product lines sourced from the US to recover the impact of a weaker Canadian dollar? Related to this, does the fact that CVL's agricultural customers sell their grains and other products in US dollars improve CVL's prospects of passing exchange through?
Two, apart from the diversification aspect, do you feel the addition of the Peterbilt line represents a good fit with the rest of CVL's business?

Thank you for your time in responding.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Denison Mines just bought Fission Uranium. What is your assessment of this deal? How would you rate the balance sheet? Both stocks are down...does that mean Mr. Market disapproves? If one had patience is it a worthy contrarian play?
As always ...thanks for your prompt reply and great insights!
Respectfully...

Q: MRT.UN is near a 52 week low. By all metrics it seems to be a bargain. It has a 5.9% yield, a P/E of 11, trades at 2/3 of NAV, with EPS of $1.50 which easily covers the dividend of $0.96.

Why is this stock so Cheap? What would you expect in terms of performance over the next 2 years? Do you feel it is a good buy at the present time?

Thanks again for all your help,

Glen

Q: Hello 5iResearch. I bought, for my RRSP, Atco at 52.91$ (yeah, pretty close to the top). It is hovering around 39$. Should sell and buy some other utility like Emera or just bear it and grin it? Thank you.

What do you think the effect will be on the TSX traded DHX.B stock share price of the announcement today of issuance of 8.7 million voting and non-voting shares. Should we be concerned of a drop in value?

Q: Today Peter asked about the Sector of each stock within the Balanced Equity Portfolio.

You listed:
AYA - IT.
TMX says "Amaya Inc is a technology company....Sector: Consumer Cyclical." (Under the Company tab, Industry Classification section.)

http://web.tmxmoney.com/company.php?qm_symbol=AYA:TSX


ENB - Utilities
TMX say "Sector: Energy".
http://web.tmxmoney.com/company.php?qm_symbol=ENB:TSX


I was surprised that the TMX site stated ENB, ALA & TRP are listed as Energy but yet FTS is listed as an Utility, as ENB has lots of utility and ALA has some also.

I have not looked at the others from 5i's Balanced Equity Port.

Have a great day.
