Q: PFD.UN - are you familiar with this new product? It makes sense...but I'm uncertain as it has no track record. Any thoughts?

Description from website:

The Fund will invest at least 80% of the Total Assets in preferred securities (including hybrid securities), at least 80% of the Total Assets in Investment Grade securities and 100% of the Total Assets in U.S. dollar denominated securities.

Q: Peter and Team,

Is now the time to run to Amaya gaming following their good results that some how disappointed the market?

Q: Hi Peter,
Looking for a home for my Novus proceeds. BNK has recently broken out technically with next upside target of $4.30-$4.50 or would you stay safe and buy Magna with a likley target of $100? I know they are in different sectors and different market cap. Thanks.

Q: It appears that the VZ entry into Canada is unlikely . Which of our telecoms would you recommend as a buy at this time.
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter & Team,

I am holding TOL and NGL for takeover possibility. Do you think any of these is worth holding for this reason. TOL is doing fine as it is up but NGL is down about 15% since I bought. I looked the CPS for both and they look pretty good. What do you think?

Q: May I have your opinion of SNC? I recently read a couple of articles that recommended buying the stock. One suggested in might be a take over target due to its low P/E relative to its peers.

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Team, I would appreciate your thoughts and opinions on the definitive agreement Novus, NVS, has entered into before the markets open. Sell when they begin trading again? Thanks!

Q: I am considering buying Davis & Henderson DH for my RRIF because of its 4.89% dividend but I am weary as I see it's payout ratio is 103.51% while the industry average is 79.76%. Is there something I am overlooking? Thanks, Bill

Q: Hello Peter and associates, you have mentioned the savings available if one can buy several of the big banks instead of ZEB. I would like some bank(s) exposure (approx. $20,000.00 total). Of the "big six" banks in Canada can you tell which two you like the least? Also, if I buy ZEB it is eligible I understand for a partial drip program and I could reinvest in units, but if I bought a number of banks individually each quarterly dividend might not be enough to purchase a full share of each stock as the dividend is received, so I would be "eroding" some of the savings? Thank you, Bill.

Q: goood evening , I would like it if you could give me a brief definition of the terms green field and brown field projects . I hear these terms on various financial shows but i don't know what they mean. Thank you for your time.

Q: Hello, I see CGI (Gib.a ) went down over 4% today. was this because of the acquisition? a good buying opportunity or should I wait to buy? thanks. Helen

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Your thoughts on Raging River Exploration (RRX) would be much appreciated. Many pundits on local tv suggest a dividend is in the near future. I know how much Peter loves when a company declares it's first ever div. Am i okay to add to my position at current levels or should I wait for a pullback? If you believe a div is in the near future, any idea how much it would pay ?
Also, any chance somewhat buys them out ? if so, who is a likely suitor?
Many thanks, as always.

Q: HI 5I,
I've held J D S Uniphase (JDU) for quite some time. Is this a stock that might eventually come back to its higher past prices or is it one that might fit the below C category right now. Could you give me your thoughts on it. Thanks.
