Q: Hi team, I have sat on the sidelines watching cash store CSF for some time now. They have paid a dividend in the past and recently the shares have taken another dive. With Canadians willingness to pile on debt, is it time to take a chance on a company that is in short term, high interest lending market. Does this stock price represent an opportunity or should an investor just stay away. Thanks

Q: On July 28, 2012, you were kind enough to comment on Hardwoods Distribution (HWD). The earnings continue to surprise, and the stock has risen to new highs today. Q4 earnings are scheduled to be released in mid-March. HWD has fantastic leverage to the US housing market.Coremark initiated coverage this week, the first to do so since 2009. I anticipate even higher earnings and perhaps an increase in dividends. Would you speculate on HWD at these levels?

Thank you.

Is it something which is going to prices of the stock in an upward trend and what would be the direction the market might take whrn the actual news comes out? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and 5i: I'm wondering if a buying opportunity is materialising on Acadian Timber (ADN). After an unprecedented spike upward from its rising slope it has fallen back through its 50 day moving average. Meanwhile WFT and IFP.A have held in much more closely to their 52 wk highs and presumably the US housing recovery macro story behind it all is still intact. Is there an important piece of the picture that I am missing that would differentiate ADN from the others? Would you still see ADN as a reasonable buy at this point? Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and 5i: In answering previous questions on Precious Metals and Mining Trust (MMP.UN) you have mentioned that it has trsded at a premium to NAV. I know that NAV is itself a moving target but I'm wondering how much lower MMP.UN needs to go before it gets there. Also, you have mentioned that you think the gold price moves higher this year so what are the main forces you see that would account for that? Thanks!

Q: I am somewhat confused by your A rating for BEP.UN. I undertand it is a solid, safe company with a reasonable distribution. Using your charts, you show it as having had a 4.0% gain and producing a 4.0% yield.However, when I compare it with the other A and A- stocks from your ratings that I also own (BAD, BYD.UN, CSU, ESL, and STN) it is substantially inferior on a relative basis. That being so, why does it have the same rating as those stocks. I am going to select the private option, but if you think it would be useful for othes to see your answer, feel free to make your answer public.

Q: When investing anew in the oil patch, should one go for BTE rather than COS ? BTE seems to be struggling somewhat with the differentials, while COS gets a good price for its SCO, but struggles with improving production up to design capacity. Both have good reserves, but COS is there for the next 50 years. Obvious better anternatives to these two names ?
