Q: I am trying to determine how/if to incorporate foreign exchange gains or losses when doing my portfolio weightings. Assume I started with $100k Cdn and I buy 9 Cdn stocks and 1 US equally. If none of the stocks changed in value, except the one US stock was now worth $14,000 due to foreign exchange gains, that one stock would now represent 12.3% of my portfolio when valued in Cdn dollars. If I wanted to keep my original 10% per share holding Would I then sell 2.3% to get back to my original 10% holding or do I ignore the conversion for now and say it is still just 10% of my portfolio.

Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi Peter and Team - Recent comments on BNN Market Call indicate that now is a good time to invest in small craft brewers due to increased shelf space in the beer stores as well as the decision to allow grocery stores to sell beer. Brick Brewing was mentioned as a good company in this space but it is expensive. Are there any other small craft breweries you would recommend and perhaps even one of the larger breweries. Thanks.

Q: I used to be in ATD.B but exited too early at about $37. This company seems to have no end in advancing its share price, not to mention the dividend increases/growth (on a percentage basis anyway). Though the dividend part is a bit of a mirage since it started from next to nothing to a very very tiny something.

At $60 today, it is worth the risk to take a position again? It certainly have a history of success, but of course the question is - can it be perpetuated?

Your insight is much appreciated.

Q: Hi Peter and team,

Could you please give your comments on the earnings report of last week. They appear fine, with a dividend increase, but your comments would be appreciated.

Q: As a retiree who has some cash to invest what would be a good/somewhat safe place to invest in during this volatile market? GIC’s don’t pay enough and preferred shares have been hit hard the last year. I am thinking I don’t want to increase my presence in energy and I own a lot of pipelines which are all suffering due to the oil situation but still paying a nice dividend.

Q: Hello Peter,
Any idea why Jean Coutu has been surging of late? Fundamentally it is good and technically, it has a break out. I do not see any positive news to reflect it or is the market realizing the potential (perhaps Metro buying it etc). I have 2% weight in Stella Jones and am thinking of increasing it to 5% as it has had a good pull back. Since CNR has good earnings, could this help Stella Jones as the pullback (from what I understood) reflected the business towards railways, etc Thank you
