Q: Re: ZLB Hi Team, Globefund shows that ZLB has a beta score of 1.401. My understanding is the market has a beta of 1. My conclusion is the etf is 40% more volatile than the market. Is ZLB meeting its mandate as a low volatility etf? Thank you for your comment.

Q: Hi 5i Team,
Can you please comment on Rogers Sugar's results this quarter? The stock has taken another beating today on disappointing results. Is the cash flow still there, and is the dividend still secure? Many thanks!

Q: Peter,

You should look more closely at STB. It is a great little company that is total misunderstood due to how it finances itself and the seasonality of their revenues. Income, profits and cash flow continue to rise over the years. I am a longterm shareholder and love the dividend.

The following is from their 2013 annual report:

"We finished the year with
a pay out ratio of 79 percent and
forecast that number to decrease further
in fiscal 2014."

Regards
John

Q: Hello Peter,

Would you take a moment to review Premier Gold's (PG) PEA details released today? Their Hardrock operation appears to be interesting given its grade, 15-year mine life, all-in cash cost of $803/oz, and average yearly production of >200,000 oz. Considering as well the safe jurisdiction and competent management, coupled with some interesting insider buying over the last few months is this a good entry point?
