Q: Peter and Team,

I am a shareholder of CSU and am interested in the debentures they are issuing. I have a few questions: first, does it make sense to buy more stock now to get more rights to get debentures at a $95 per $100 par value or should I wait for the rights to come on the exchange and buy them then? Second, I think the debentures are supposed to yield 7.4% compared on the par value and then reset to 6.5% + CPI annually. Is my understanding correct? Third, I think that the floating nature of this debenture should make its capital value stay pretty flat even in a rising interest rate environment as long as CSU's credit-worthiness is good. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!

Q: Hello,

I was wondering for a TFSA (40K) for maximum growth what stocks would you propose. I don't envision needing the funds in the next few years (I have the model portfolio in a non taxable account).

I know that you specialize in Canadian equities, but if you would have to select a few US growth stocks (30k taxable account) what would you select.

Thank you so much.

Q: Thanks to your recommendation some time ago I have made over 700% profit on Autocanada and am considering selling the shares I have left to buy either KKR-N or BX-N. What can you tell me about these 2 stocks. Am considering this trade for better income and some capital gains.

Many thanks for all the great information you provide. Helen

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
I just wanted to share something very interesting with other members:
TD Securities Action Notes from 29-July-2014 list the production rates for the top 20 gas weighted WCSB wells during May of 2014. Half of the top 20 are Tourmaline wells. Encana is next with 3. That is absolutely amazing. Thank you for recommending this company. I am not selling my shares until CEO Michael Rose does. Thanks again. DL

Q: Would you please comment on the future prospects of CQE as a natural gas investment. I noticed the price is down about 85 cents since the middle of June but is beginning to increase in price. Any reason for the recent price decrease? Thanks

Q: Good Morning - I bought AVO at $22.50 and BXE at 8.25 for growth. I held through their peaks and am now under water. Seeing as neither pays dividend, should I take the hit and convert the money to dividend payers such as banks or lifecos or should I hold and wait for the momentum to return and not miss the liquidation opportunity next time?

Q: Further to Marios question regarding comments on Q&A section for a specific symbol, I was not able to find them neither.

The link you posted resulted in a "Page not found" either logged in or logged out.

Clicking "Members" then "Investment and Company Questions" take us back to the general Q&A section, exactly the same as clicking on "Read Question" under "Latest Questions" (Link = https://www.5iresearch.ca/questions)

I was looking for comments on top of the symbol search result page or something like that.

Did you mean you posted comments to similar questions and want us to search the symbol and read the comments so you do not have to repeat it?

Thanks

Q: A comment on Badger BAD. On Market Call Tonight on Monday evening Aug 11, John O'Connell of Davis Rea responded to a question on Badger by saying "I had a quick peek at their earnings when they came out this morning...." then proceeded to say revenues were up but margins were down etc., basically describing the results that were released this morning.(The video is available on the BNN.CA web site.) What do you make of this? Is it possible Badger gave Mr. O'Connell an early look at their results?
