Q: T:EGL.UN - EAGLE ENERGY TRUST
I have owned eagle from the IPO. They claim that they are unjustly treated like the other cross border plays (argent and parallel)who debt levels are very high and have cut their dividend)according to them they have a ratio of 1.5 which is considered reasonable. They claim that they will meet guidance and not cut the dividend. Is there any reason to question their claims and would you sell now? any comments regarding eagle would be appreciated especially with respect to the management.
thanks again .

Q: IBI.BB
I own some IBI 7% Debentures that are coming due in December 2014. IBI has made an offer to extend the maturity date to 2019 and they haveattached 2 options with a yes vote:
"Option A" Debentureholders receive a consent fee, consisting of an unsecured, non-convertible promissory note equal to $195.65 per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, payable December 31, 2016 and bearing interest at the rate of 7.0% per annum and payable on maturity; or
"Option B" Debentureholders receive a consent fee, consisting of an unsecured, non-convertible promissory note equal to $86.96 per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, payable December 31, 2016 and bearing interest at the rate of 7.0% per annum and payable on maturity and the reduction of the conversion price for the Debentures to $5.00 per common share from $19.17 per common share.
The no voters would only get the changed conversion price.
Which option would you suggest, or would you suggest selling it. It's value presently is only about 1% of my RRSP portfolio.

Q: I have a diversified RIF but with little U.S./International exposure. Could you recommend one or two ETFs that would provide this - looking for a combination of growth and income.
Many thanks for all that you do.

Your views on ET results please. Thanks
Your views on ET results please. Thanks
Q: I’d like your opinion on my currrent Canadian equity holdings (please note I own gold and silver as a sepearte part of my portfolio.) I couldn’t buy all of the ones in your two portfolios so had to make choices.
Is it diversified enough? Would you make any changes. Also, technically I am overweight in my Canadian holdings by one position (I should own 16, rather than 17). What would you suggest me selling? I’m wondering if I should sell ACQ because it has gone up so much.

Q: Hello Peter- Could you please rank in order of your preference, Whitecap, Tourmaline, Surge and Delphi in order of total return, using your ABC grading.
Q: Peter, given the seasonal "sell in May" scenario, even though it seems irrelevant this year, combined with the extremely high TSX near record levels, would it not be prudent to wait till the summer to rebalance or increase current holdings, even in growth names like DHX, SJ, ACQ, AVO, AYA, BAD, SGY and WCP. Or are today's prices ok for a 3 year hold. Thanks as usual

Q: PHM Patient Home Marketing is having a nice, little move this week but not on any news that I can see. Can you offer any insights? Thanks. Lorraine
Q: Hi 5i team,
Assuming a balance portfolio, I was thinking about switching CGI Group for either Surge or Whitecap resources. Although in very different sectors, I am looking to switch into a company with more growth. CGI is cheap on a valuation basis, but doesn't seem to have current momentum.
Your thoughts and suggestion is much appreciated.

Q: Hi Peter, I own CTSH, haven't made any real money, seems solid but it has a downgrade due to valuation, it has a 1.6 peg and I am wondering if I could do better with another stock over the next year. Thanks once again, appreciation of your service comes with a capital A.
Q: Bought BNP a few years ago for gas exposure when it was a market darling with an attractive dividend. The dividend, while still attractive, was cut and the share price has been a roller-coaster ride and I'm still down 7%. I'm considering switching and as it's in a taxable acct I can use the tax loss. Can you suggest a couple of stocks with a good and hopefully growing dividend with some capital upside. I'm retired so the dividend is important.
Q: Hi Peter and Team,
I'm looking to add an energy stock to my TFSA holdings (which currently include AYA, ENB, BNS, T, and STN). I've seen you recommend BAD, SGY, and TOU and have also been seeing various articles suggesting SU might be a good purchase given that it's relatively inexpensive at the moment.
Do you have a preference between any of these four?

Q: re: Canada's big banks
Seeking Alpha commented today that Moody's lowered Canadian Banks outlook to negative.
"Affirming the ratings of Canada's largest banks, Moody's cuts their outlook from stable to negative, thanks to the government's plans to implement a "bail-in" regime (i.e., creditors to take a haircut) for systemically important lenders."
I have a 5% position in TD and have done quite well with an excellent dividend. Is this something I should be concerned about moving forward?
Thanks for all you do
