Q: Cliffs Natural Resources (CLF)trades in New York. Dividend yield is over 7%. This stock is down over 4$ today at close to $30. This is North Americas largest producer of iron ore pellets and I know there is some problem with iron ore prices declining. This was an $80 stock a year or so ago. Ian

Q: Peter,
I'd like your opinion on this "new generation" of dividend paying oil juniors. Speciifically, I am interested in hearing your thoughts on Twin Butte Energy at the current levels and how it compares with Renegade Petroleum (looks like Renegade is setting themselves up to be quite similar to Twin Butte).

Q: What do you think of Macdonald Detwiler symbol MDA? Is it too expensive here at 14 times cash flow? It seems to have the elements that you guys like in a company - decent and growing dividend, good history of earnings, and smart targeted acquisitions. Are they too wedded to government contracts for your liking? Thanks and I love the site.

Q: Good afternoon,
Some very astute investors (eg. Rick Rule) seem to like Altius (ALS) a great deal. However the stock has not performed for a very considerable period. Would you retain a position in this company?
Thank you.

Q: Would you have an update on BCE. Wondering if i should take my gains now as i see the value appears to be on par with the price and the stock price seems to be stagnant at the moment. Any expectation for a rise in price in the near term?
Q: Hi Peter and the 5i team. What about CFP-T and forestry stocks in general. Seems like housing is recovering in the US. The charts certainly look good on CFP but maybe a pullback buying opportunity?

Q: I do a yearly review of my portfolio and stocks I may be interested in buying for the future. This year I decided to add EPS, dividend payout and profit margin to other metrics I look at. Please help me understand how companies can continually pay out more than they take in, especially when their profit margins are low or in the negative. An example I was looking at was BPF.UN. The web site I was looking at shows EPS as -0.15, dividend payout 1.18 and profit margin as -6.48.
Q: Beta. You were asked where to find Beta. He might look at his brokerage firm. FYI, my Investors Edge account lists beta (under the performance screen) for about 90% of the stocks that I follow.
Q: Peter, what is going on with CUS do you think. Even to-day when everything is up-even ECI-this one is still headed down. Anything I read looks positive long term. My neighbour is an engineer at the plant here in BC and he is quite positive on the company and owns a lot of shares. Should I buy more at some pont? Thank you...JP
