Q: Hi Peter and Team,

This is somewhat of an abstract question but is important for my analysis nonetheless. Can you name a couple Canadian companies that you think would have a strong competitive advantage if they were to expand into the US or a similar country (i.e. Australia)?

Stantec (multinational consultant status advantage for companies in Australia, yet similar legal system) and Cineplex ('purchasing power?') come to mind, but I end up banging my head on the desk when trying to come up with others. Does anything stand out to you guys?

Q: Hi Peter and gang.

Question: Shawcor (SCL). I already have a 16% position in pipelines (Altagas, Inter Pipeline and Pembina). However, Shawcor (SCL) is looking extremely attractive, in my opinion, with 2015 consensus earnings, according to CIBC, of $4.35 and substantial growth continuing in the years after.

In your opinion, do you think I can hold my 16% position in my pipelines and add a 2.5% position in SCL? My reasoning is, I can buy SCL as well as hold my existing pipelines because SCL has a forward p/e of under 13 and strong earnings per share growth to support its share price. When interest rates rise, my IPL, PPL, and ALA, may experience a decline because of their very high p/e and slower growth rate but SCL could act quite differently because of its attractive valuation and growth profile.

My other option is to trigger large capital gains and sell a portion of my existing pipelines to buy SCL.

I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts. Thanks, as always.

Q: re: ET Evertz Tech

Have read recent comments. I appears to me this is a solid company with good prospects moving forward and that you have confidence in having ET in the Income Portfolio.

I am sitting on cash waiting for an opportunity to reinvest "somewhere." I have been watching ET and have noticed it's recent slide. Would you recommend taking a position at this time or should I continue to wait and watch? Is there any other companies you feel I should be looking at that have recently come back/corrected? (hate using that word)

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: re: FRC

Last comment was Aug 1. Revenues were up considerably and they had just purchased a fluid logistics company. Your advice was it looked good to hold which I will do until you suggest otherwise.

In the meantime, can you please comment moving forward - FRC is down 8.5% since Aug 1.

Thanks for all you do

Q: In your answer to the question of Larry M on Sep 19 (below) you should include natural gas liquids (NGL) along with crude oil in the definition of midstream. Keyera is big on NGL whereas Gibson is big in crude oil.

September 19, 2014 (asked by Larry M)

Question: The following is a statement taken from an article written by Claudia Cattaneo in the Financial Post on Sept. 18, 2014. "Orange Capital LLC, a New York-based fund, has built a position in Calgary-based Bellatrix Exploration Ltd. It wants the midsized producer to explore strategic alternatives including a sale, look at the size and composition of its board, and a possible IPO or sale of the company’s midstream assets". What is meant by 'midstream assets'?
5i Research Answer:

Oil companies can be divided between upstream, downstream and midstream. Midstream assets involve the storage, transportation and marketing/selling of refined oil.
