Q: I am currently missing the following 6 stocks from the model portfolio: Amaya, Ciniplex, First Service, Magna, MacDonald Dettweiler and WCP. Is this a good time to buy these companies? Or should I wait until you make changes at the end of March? I currently own a 1/2 position in XTC and wonder if I should just bump it up to a full position instead of buying magna? My full positions represent 4% of my Canadian equity portfolio, or 2% of my entire portfolio.

Q: Good Morning Peter and Team, how significant is the US debt (~$18Trillion) in the US plan to raise interest rates ? Won't that minimize the rise rate over the next years and keep all the dividend payers relatively strong ? or does the strength of the US economy override the extra interest they will pay ? Thanks, Paul

Q: I am up over 55% in less that a week on this stock in my RRSP which has taken a hit since Dec. from Bank stock and Energy stocks with over a 30% of total portfolio. I realize I did not diversify, as I always felt safe with these type of investments.
I sold $12000 of Royal bank after the quarterly dividend and invested in Concordia which has netted me $17000.00 as of today with the stock currently off $3.72, and dropping at the moment
I am concerned that cxr will probably pull back for profit taking, however if cxr is a roll up story, like csu, would it not make sense to hold on, or should I sell half or all, and wait for a proper pull back to get back in.

I listened to the ceo of cxr about how the fundamentals of the new company are accreditive, as well as his goals going forward. Very impressive to say the least

I know 5i highlighted this company in the past, and really would appreciate your thoughts going forward

Thanks for your awesome service.

Q: I'm showing 42 cents for 2016 earnings for DHX media. This would bring it to a p/e of 22 in 2016 if the earnings work out and an ev/ebitda of 12.5 in 2016. Isn't this actually a reasonable valuation considering the 1) buyout prospects 2) earnings growth through multiple revenue channels 3) worldwide product placement. I'm not getting why some are calling it incredibly expensive. Thx.
