Q: I'm still learning to navigate your website, hope you will excuse this (seemingly) silly question. In trying to see if you have a report on CSH.un, I notice that there's no way to access reports earlier than this year. Is that true or am I missing something?

Anyway, I'd like to know what you think of CSH.un and whether you have another preference in that space. Thank you.

Q: More of a rant than a question...

“...In the run-up to Facebook’s $16-billion IPO, Morgan Stanley, the lead underwriter on the deal, unexpectedly delivered some negative news to major clients: The bank’s consumer Internet analyst, Scott Devitt, was reducing his revenue forecasts for the company. The sudden caution very close to the huge initial public offering, and while an investor roadshow was underway, was a big shock to some, said two investors who were advised of the revised forecast...”

So you’ve got the lead underwriter dumping on it a day before launch................

It had a P/E of 118.........................

Even at $ 0.30 cents it would have a market cap of $1 BILLION! It’s got a long way to fall. It was down almost 20% in the first 2 days of trading....Some institutions were shorting it DAY ONE.

Youtube went for $1.65 Billion.

But then Google was flagged as ridiculous at $300 8 years ago....It’s now $600............................

Q: re: Fiera Capital (FSZ)

Well, with Investor Group coming out with a reduction in fees to combat investor resistance/redemptions, and with continued market weakness/worries, one would think that fsz's share price will languish for a period of time...

Would you recommend that the long-term investor (a 5i-type of investor) should accumulate these shares at this time - or put such purchases on the back burner awaiting positive quarterly reports.

Thanks, as always ;)

Q: Your coverage is intended to be limited to the Canadian market. In order to diversify could you recommend a high-quality mutual fund that invests in global equities? I have been looking at the Mawer Global Small Cap Fund. Do you have any guidelines as to how much of one's portfolio should one have invested in Canada? Personally, I am appx. 20 years away from retirement and intend on retiring in Canada. Thanks Peter!

Q: Do you have an update for Leon's? It seems to just be generating enough earnings to cover the dividend now? ($.12 and $.10 respectively). I know that it is tough to look at only one quarter but earnings have fallen in the quarter for each of the last two years and annual earnings are down over the last year. My concern is how will it fund its expansion plans? Thanks Peter!

Q: Hi Peter..do you have any information on MAG Silver (MAG.T). Last week MAG Silver announced it has the largest Carbonate Replacement Deposit manto in the world at the ir Cinco de Mayo project in Mexico. Is this a stock worth watching or is this simply a marketing ploy..as always your comments and direction would be of considerable value here.
