Q: The merger with Mitel drew my attention to the cloud as an area of growth and I looked for smaller companies for greater zip. Does Sphere 3D Corp (ANY-V) seem like a reasonable company for growth? Bryon in Elmira
Q: Do you have any market intelligence on a potential market pull back?
Are there any known upcoming events that would escalate a pull back?
If and when a pull back occurs, what percentage will the markets drop? I know you don't have a crystal ball, just looking for your gut feel/market instincts.
Thanks!
Q: Badger Daylighting Ltd. (BAD), reported this morning. Thank-you again for highlighting this company as it continues to grow. From what I have learned to look at this company seems to be doing all things right. I realize it is a growing company and by my review doing well, but is there anything I should be looking at in there results that indicate weakness. I mean they cannot be doing everything right correct? - Cheers.
Q: Hi Peter,
Thanks for the great service. The model portfolio is an excellent addition. I hold some Goldcorp (<1%) Average cost is 28.25. Is now a good time to increase this holding? Your thoughts if gold has bottomed?
Thx!
Q: Hi Peter and Team,
You have mentioned in previous answers, the reasons for the current price drop in AYA. How long do you think it will take for the stock price to recover? Thanks!
Q: Because of recent tax rules, US citizens are restricted in the amount of money they can keep in other countries unless they have $$$ to pay international tax accountants.
Neither can they cost effectively own ETFs, REITS, trusts, mutual funds, etc.--again due to arcane rules and draconian penalties for non-compliance.
Therefore, I can buy only a small number of stocks in Canada, and I would hope to hold them for long periods for fewer tax reporting complications from buying and selling.
Would you see enough potential, without overdoing risk, for a portfolio of such stocks, totaling no more than 120k to purchase? Could a yield of 3 to 5% be achievable?
On top of all this, there is no telling when new rules may be composed that make owning ANY stocks in Canada prohibitive, so I have to be prepared to sell whenever they make such a change. For example, we had to sell our TFSAs and ETFs swiftly upon being alerted to the current restrictions.
Q: I'd like your opinion (awesome service BTW)... I'm looking for long-term equity gains with not too much risk. What would be your top (five?) picks out of: HCG, BNS, ATD.B, AYA, AVO, SGY, TOU, WCP, BRX, CIX, SYZ, CSN, ALA, PPL, HR.UN. :)
What is your opinion about CNTY (Century Casino)?
They have 2 casinoes in Canada and seem to be growing quite nicely.
Earnings next week.
Great service you are providing for investors.

Any thoughts on the recent decline in Martinrea? The Q3 results seemed pretty solid and the stock had a bit of a run up, but is back down to it's pre-results price. Wondering if it's worth holding this one for the long-term or would you recommend switching into Linamar?
Q: Hi Peter and 5i. Starbucks(SBUX) just lost an arbitration ruling and has to pay Kraft $2.7 Billion. I've been waiting to buy SBUX (for a long term hold) on a pullback, which is likely to happen from this ruling. Do you think this is a good opportunity at this time or could there be additional long term implications from this ruling? Thanks!
