Q: Hi Peter,

It has been close to a year since your last comments on PLS. I was wondering if their latest business update indicating strong deliveries of late and the development of the port of long beach facilities moving ahead have given you reason to change your outlook for Polaris at all? This news seams to have moved the stock up significantly over the last two days.

Thanks
John

Q: The last time you commented on Leon’s Furniture (LNF) was over 7 months ago. I bought this stock a while back because I wanted exposure to the Consumer sector from within your coverage list. I’m up slightly but the stock hasn’t really moved much. I keep hearing accusations in the news about their questionable consumer lending practices and advertising claims, and while it doesn’t seem to have impacted the stock price, I am feeling less enthusiastic about this holding. How do you feel about the company today and if I wanted to switch to something else staying in the consumer space what would you recommend?

Q: I am baffled at your response to a question on TFSA investments where you suggested some higher risk stocks from your model portfolio . My approach has been to minimize risk in my TFSA and RSP because I can't claim the loss . Please discuss your strategy .

What are your thoughts on DVYE as a diversification into the emerging markets?
It pays a dividend of almost 5%
Looks attractive right now?

Q: Hi and Happy New Year to all
My question concerns Chorus CHR.B. They announced a partial redemption of 9.5% debentures, $60 million or 75%. Would you see this as having a positive impact on the stock. The dividend was raised to 0.45, which is a high yield on a $4.00 stock.

Q: Hi Peter,

I am thinking of purchasing LIQ but noticed it has rallied significantly in the past few days. What do you think of this company? Should I be aggressive to purchase it at current levels or can I be patient and accumulate it on dips?

Q: Hi Peter and Team: Over time I've been trying to make my portfolio as similar as possible to your model. Since I own two of the big Canadian telcos in a separate portfiolio, I've been looking for something else to fill the missing 5%. I recently looked at tower companies. These are interesting, in particular because the three biggest US tower companies are rated "buys" by Morningstar, with fair values larger that their market value. However, based on their fundamentals (via Morningstar) I'm not sure what their growth prospects are (dividents are small to zero). I've heard some hype to the effect that 4G network proliferation will push their prices up. Can you shed any light on this family of stocks, in particular, American Tower (AMT, US)? Also, it and some others are now REITs. Does this cause any complications for a Canadian resident?

Q: Hello 5i Team,

My children's RESP contain the following:
ALPS Alerian MLP ETF NYSE: AMLP, First Trust Dow Jones Global Select Dividend Index Fund NYSE:FGD
and a Canadian bank RBC, for a total value of $17,000. Its about five years till the kids will use the money. My question is, what should I invest in to make this better, I’m thinking some growth stocks.

As always your opinion is valued.
