Q: With gold holding around $1100 US (in fact a relatively high gold price historically) and energy costs relatively low (the highest input costs), I'm considering buying a company like Goldcorp as their profit potential should be improving and that the shares are so low and hated. Any thoughts?

Q: Good morning

Can you please provide an update on WB including payout ratio (safety of dividend) and balance sheet. It seems all the stars are aligning for this company this winter.
It has had a nice pull back with the market and would like to know if you think is a good entry point for income and some capital appreciation?
Thanks

Q: Peter, there appears to be no let up in car buying, Exco I believe, brings in mostly US income and have expenses mostly in CAD, and its P/E seems very reasonable. Yet the stock is down. Other than this brutal market, any reasons? Subject to over concentration...buy more?

Q: Hello.
Been watching and looking for an entry point for GUD. In a recent answer you indicated this would be a good time to buy. I don't understand how an investor would choose this as an entry point. The stock price seems to be diving through support values.......would you please comment on what makes this a good time to enter and take up a new position?
Thanks
Dave

Q: BDI reduced their dividend from 8 cents to 5 cents a few months ago. Do you believe the 5 cents dividend is safe. I don't mind holding the stock for the long term if its dividend is safe.

Q: Psychologically, I am not usually too bothered by volatility (I rode through the Financial Crisis without selling any stocks). However, I am now close to retirement, so my risk tolerance is declining. I own HCG and believe that it is hugely under valued at 5X earnings. The constant declines in HCG, even on good days in the market, are starting to give me doubts that perhaps I am missing a major negative factor in my valuation. Is this just negative sentiment? I would appreciate your view. Great service.
Thanks

Q: I bought some Aecon in November, hoping the election would provide a boost, but it hasn't. In terms of infrastructure, I note that WSP is in your income portfolio. If I only held one infrastructure stock, would you recommend WSP?
