Q: Peter and Team,

I bought a 5% position in Stantec a couple months ago around $48 and sold a covered call on it with a strike of $50 for the next month. I got called away and proceded to sell a Put at $52 for the next month. Stantec then reported their incredible quarter and the stock is now $68.50 or so. With the big run up, does this stock still make sense to buy new or should we be waiting for it to come back down a bit?

Q: Peter and team, what is a good strategy for an RESP ? Child is 12. Account is $30k in a mix of individual stocks. Due to size of account and institution, trades are $25 per. Is there a few ETFs that make sense to replace individual equities, or would you mirror your model portfolio ? My apologies if this question has been answered before. I looked but could not find it. Thank you.

Q: Further to my question regarding jfs.un, I looked through the last financial statements and read through the fees, there seems to be a 2% annual fee along with a 1.5% fee and a 20% nav appreciation fee. Can you break these down as to what the yearly fee in relation to a mer is and would this be comparable to other closed end funds. Thanks

Q: Hi Peter & Co.,
I've been waiting for the right time to take a position in Bonterra Energy. They announced yesterday that CRA may be reassessing their taxes for 2008-2012, which could result in a $25M tax bill. Mgmt advises this will not affect their business plan or payment of dividends. What do you think? Should I be concerned about the impact of a reassessment, or does this present a good entry point? (stock is down today)
Many thanks!

Q: I understand Amazon isn't your area of expertise, but can you give us your opinion of Amazon. If you look at a 10 year graph, one would think that steep curve upward signals it's in bubble territory.

For a company that still hasn't made any profits, are you optimistic about Amazon living up to its share price?

Q: Hi Peter and Team: Do you think it is an appropriate time to buy a materials ETF, or should I wait?
On the subject of the number of questions: I think each question should pose essentially one focussed issue for your analysis. To ask for details on more than one stock is being greedy, but asking for a comparison of two similar stocks would be OK (in my opinion). Infrequent questioners who have multiple queries should pose multiple but separate questions.
