Q: Hi Peter. I've held Lakeshore Gold for a considerable time. It went to over $4 (I should have sold)and then dropped dramatically and now is slowly recovering. I bought it at $2.50 Its production has beaten forecasts. DO you see it recovering? Thanks for the great work.

Q: I know that you 'like' Transforce TFI as do I. My purchase price was $17.03 so I am up roughly 35.5% plus the dividends. I hold 500 shares.
My question whether you think that it is worth adding to my position sort of averaging up rather than down.
Thanks for the input!

Q: Hi Peter and team.
In response to Franks earlier question about DHX's weakness today. I feel it is due to James Hodgins on BNN market call. His opinion is that it no longer has the growth profile since it became a content and distribution play. But that is the opinion of one analyst that I don't share.

Q: Dear Peter and team,
On your advice, I combined (on paper) my unregistered and registered accounts to check for weightings, and was appalled at my energy weighting which was much greater than you recommend and than I thought. I need advice about what to cut to reduce it. My holdings, with percents, are as follows: CNQ 3.2; FRU 4.7; IPL 7.8; NPI 3.5 (TFSA down 13%); PKI 5.1; BEP.UN 3.9. Can I count IPL as a utility? What about FRU? Both have great dividends.
Many thanks for your truly splendid service. I look forward to my daily 5i research "hit."

Q: voting vrs non voting shares.
Even with lower volume and a premium to non voting shares, if the non voting do not have a coattail provision, would you buy the voting.
Years ago I lost huge upside when a premium was offered to voting shares only.
thanks

Q: PETER. JAPANESE STARTING TO RESTART THEIR NUKES . YOU THINK U - T WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO PLAY INCREASED URANIUM USE?
Q: Hello Peter & Company,
I have opened a TFSA account ($20k) as a quasi savings account, which means that I may need some of the money in short notice.
I invested $5k into BA at $25.50 a share (it has a yield of 6% and fluctuates between $25 and $28); I plan to sell at around $27-$28 and buy back at around $25. Does this make sense?
If it does, are there other securities with similar characteristics? If it does not, what alternatives would you suggest?
Thanks,
Tony

Q: Hi Peter & 5i Team,
I have seen several questions on the lines of "Do you still like so and so stock that you cover..." In the event you come to know of some major negative news on one of your top rated stocks (A+ to B-) which would cause you to immediately change your rating of that stock to say an F, how would you warn 5i members to immediately sell/not buy that stock. For eg. would you post a banner announcement on the home page regarding that stock downgrade by you ?
If so, absent such a warning, can we assume that your current rating for all covered stocks are still valid, atleast uptil the previous trading session ?
Thanks in advance.
Francis

Q: Thanks for answering my question about IOC but I was actually referring to Inter Oil Corporation IOC on the US not Iron Ore Company. Can you revise the comment on that instead. There was a news that Teck was bidding for them. Why would they bid for an oil and gas company?
Q: More of a comment than a Question.
In answering a question on Teck you referred to the substitution of natural gas and coal. Teck actually supplies met coal which is a higher quality coal used for steel making (as opposed to thermal coal which is used in power plants), Teck's future in coal is more tied to overall demand for steel which is driven by global infrastructure building, primarily in china where they have very strong ties. Teck has been snooping around various iron ore assets for years now as iron ore is the other big commodity (beyond met coal) required for steel making. Teck would have significant economies of scale if they could provide both the iron ore and met coal to their existing customer base. That being said Teck is wary of paying too much especially after the issues they had when they acquired their coal assets.

Q: Peter and Team,
Is it weird that, after the downgrade on CSU by RBC, RBC seems to be on the buy side of many of the transactions on CSU? I guess it would be easy for a big outfit like RBC to talk down a quality company like CSU in order to add to a position at a lower cost.
I know this sounds like conspiracy theories but, anecdotally, I noticed RBC being on the buy side of many transactions since the downgrade.
Thanks!

WJA- WestJet
RCI-B- Rogers

How would you rate them and which one would you suggest I should keep? Sector weight is not important. Thanks for the great service and quick responses.
