Q: I’ve held MBT for many years. The income has more than offset any paper loss, so for me it’s a hold. Based on yesterday’s results, I was wondering what you saw that resulted in all the downgrading? Seems to me that they did OK. What am I missing or is this just another case of analysts/fund managers chasing each other’s tails?

Maybe a contrarian play? Allstream sale? Foreign takeover (Verizon)?

Q: Hello.

What are your thoughts on MBT's Feb 4 report on their full year results?

Any thought's on their new CEO and the following recent quote from the Globe and Mail:

'The new chief executive officer of Manitoba Telecom Services Inc. says he wanted the job because the company possesses several “hidden gems” he believes he can use to deliver a new wave of growth.'

Thanks, David.

Q: Do you have an opinion on XSI. Would an investment in this ETF fall more into "income investing" or might it be more a bet on the future rise of interest rates. In general, is it better to wait for the ETF to gain an experience before investing in it?

Q: Hello,

Peter touched on Pinetree Capital in response to a BNN Market Call question yesterday I believe. Peter mentioned a management change, is there a source with more details on this change? I have looked at PNP in the past but stayed far away as it holds some companies I short, Sphere 3D and Overland Storage (if I was smart I would have shorted PNP). I thought response yesterday of holding PNP as a play on recovery in juniors warrants looking into further and watching how PNP plays out going forward.

Q: Peter and Team,

The segment in the link here: http://www.bnn.ca/Video/player.aspx?vid=545085

Was shown on BNN today. It is on why Cineplex is a short. Agilith has been short and touting their short call (and getting gashed, by the way) for some time. I've owned the stock for a number of years now and like it and still like it but I am curious if you have any thoughts around their short thesis on Cineplex and their claim that the dividend isn't covered by cashflow.

Thanks,

Q: I own some ADW.A stock and have been considering adding to my position. From comments by one analyst, I understand that the value of some assets (e.g. land holdings) may not be reflected in the stock price. I value your opinion.

Thanks,

Ted

Q: Sgy has really come down since Nov. They had a fairly large hedge to price of oil --about 40% at $80 to $90. Are these hedges actually enforced or do they renegociate new prices which are not revealed. It seems hard to believe the share price of many stocks IF the hedge price is really used? Could you find out the hedge price used for stocks?

Q: I see that CF is handling the IT financing. Given IT is trading over 10% above the $15 bot deal price, CF should enjoy a nice win. My question is whether that win is enough to move the needle for their Q4 earnings. Is the stock a buy given today's weakness?

Thanks!

Q: With the CAD dollar moving lower, is it wise to switch out of a current position in VUS (the hedged version) and into the VUN (unhedged). Any other considerations, other than the capital gain that will happen on the sale of VUS. This is held within a taxable investment account. Thx.
