Q: Hi 5i: With respect to the question asked by Dennis about AVO buybacks: I recall reading quite recently a statement by AVO to the effect that the AVO board figured that their shares were undervalued, and that they therefore planned to support their shareholders by doing a series of buybacks. In other words, they have been up-front about their motivations.

Q: In reference to another member's question from earlier today, isn't it likely that there will be no Grexit and that the EU will simply force a Cyprus-style bail-in of the Greek banks and country? If so, I'd expect to see very little contagion but I would be highly concerned if a citizen of Greece or any other financially "borderline" EU state.

Q: Hi Peter and the 5i Team,
I presently hold 1000 shares of CVD in my RRIF and it's down about 5% (excluding the dividends, so it's down only marginally). I saw an ad in today's Globe describing Fiera's "Canadian Preferred Share Trust", where you can exchange shares in CVD for this new fund. Do you see any advantage in doing this? The Fiera offering is actively managed, but since it's essentially a closed-end mutual fund (am I correct?) wouldn't the fees be higher than CVD's? I know you like Fiera as an investment, but would this translate to liking this product? (Don't buy mutual funds; buy shares in mutual fund companies?) As always, I appreciate your advice and recommendations.

Q: Hello Peter, I am starting anew portfolio for my wife TFSA with 25 k and non reg with 25 k each as initial amount and then regular monthly contributions . Wish to use model portfolio. Question -
1. How would you advise to allocate initial capital. Any top 10 from amongst model portfolios for each account
2. For monthly contributions going forward, what would you suggest. Buying more of beaten down stock among above or a etf. Commission not a issue.
This would be for a medium to high risk tolerance and 2-3 yr hold.
Thanks and keep up good work. R

Q: Hi Peter, Please clarify: In your response to Phil question today about Mawer funds, you say MAW 150 fees are 1.5%. The fund shows MER @ 1.82% and 1.5% Management fees, which is included in the MER, right? So the investor gets charged 1.82%, right?
With MAW 120, MER is 1.41%, and management fee is 1.15%. Investor gets charged 1.41%, right?
Thank you!
Silvia

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
I noticed this morning that, according to AVO's most recent Ink Insider Report, 563,400 shares have been repurchased at an average price of about $17.50 so far since May 14, 2015. Avigilon raised $100 million back in April, 2014 at $29 per share. Aside from alienating those people who purchased shares at $29 do you think it makes sense for a company in hyper-growth mode to use their cash to buy back stock when the company is not generating any free cash flow on an operating basis ??? (using data from TD Direct Investing) Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, DL
