Q: Air Transat (TRZ.B):

After a collapse in share price in March to $8.10, Transat's share price has been gradually recovering and then today was up over 6 percent to close at $9.40. To partially assess risk reward I look at average analysts' one year price targets which for Transat are either $15.47 (Globe) or $15.50 (Thompson R), offering significant possible upside potential. At $9.40 it is still selling at less than BV with no debt (that I can determine). It is a small position for me (about 1.5 %) but I am contemplating increasing that to perhaps 2 %, but I have no insight as to why the price has moved up. I was wondering what thoughts or recent info (in addition to your March report), you might have. Thanks.

Q: Hi. I read a lot about the financial markets. I am a senior. Things I read are about making money in the Market is luck. I have also come across literature that if buy a stock and it immediately goes against you, you sell. Here is my latest case. US - EPO within 3 or 4 days of June the 2nd it reached 25.7. Bought on a dip of 25.27. 2 days later June 2nd it is down to 24.4.

TKM - within 3 or 4 days of June 2nd it reached 14.6 plus. Bought it on a dip of 13.9. 2 days later June 2nd it is down to 13 (I sold it).

TKM also trades on the US (I bought Canadian version) and XPO both have good upside potential according to Seeking Alpha.

PTS (Points) within 3 days of June the 2nd it hit 28.1. Bought on a dip of 27.1 by June 2nd down to 25.6. Points 5i seemed to like it. Could you tell me how you would have gone about making these buys because they all went south. Dennis

Q: Hi Peter, and 5iResearch Team,
Would XLE, Energy Select Sector SPDR fund be the best way to invest long term in the US Energy Sector. Is the valuation of this sector still reasonable. It seems that US oil companies have a significant edge now and I think the US Dollar fundamentals may prove to be better than the Canadian dollar? Your thoughts?
Thank you very much!

Q: I recently purchased Fiera (FSZ) but it has been on a fairly steady decline for the past month. Are you still comfortable with your rating, and might this be a good chance to pick up some extra shares 'on sale'?
Thanks, Bob
