Q: What do you think of Icahn Enterprises (IEP.US) for a long-term hold. It pays a good dividend and has a proven track record behind it. Would it be very cyclical or is it a little more all-weather depending on the takeovers it initiates? Thanks

Q: I know you are not a fan of IMG Iamgold but they came out with stellar earnings this morning. Franco Nevada is shoring up its war chest. Could they be interested in IMG? After IMG screwing up for so many years perhaps they learnt something just like SW sierra wireless did. Of course no comparison between tech and gold!

Q: Based on yesterday's close Auto Canada's (ACQ) price to book ratio is 7.25 compared to Constellation Software's (CSU) 21.26 and trailing PE ratio is 36.21 compared to 57.47. Considering the nature of each company's business and assets, which I appreciate are comparing apples and oranges, I consider ACQ fully valued however significantly more reasonably priced than CSU. Doesn't the high rate being offered by CSU on the recent rate reset pfd share issue indicate the risky nature of CSU as an investment? How does the market justify a price for CSU that is so high relative to what is supported by their financials? Could I please have your comments?

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: 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
