Q: My energy stocks are the following: BNP,CNQ,PRW and TOG. I need to get out of all or three of them. Which do you recommend to keep or should I sell all and buy Tourmaline that seems to be a better managed company. It seems to me that the oil stocks are not going to do better in a long time.
I also would like to know if it is right time to buyAmaya gaming, Home Capital Group. Or is it too late.

Q: Good evening!
If I were to sell RSI (one of my income stocks)RSI for tax reasons (My ACB 11% higher) would you have any suggestions for a "parking" stock that would trade in sync? I am happy to buy Rogers back in the new year (as in day 1!) as I do, in fact, expect better future earnings based on upcoming sugar shortages and lower fuel costs.
Thanks!

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
This is a follow up to my first letter on sectoral split and content of my RRIF portfolio
Energy; 10% BTE, CPG, HWO, TOU, VET and WCP; thinking of switching from CPG to POU? any other suggestion?
Health; 11% you consider too high and RX too risky; I'll reduce to half position, same as GUD
Metals 0%; you have FM in your portfolio, how about XBM?
Consumer staples 0%; you have L in your income portfolio, I thought DOL could be considered both retail & consumer staples.
Thanks, as usual

Q: What a pop from $6 to $9+.

Are you "scared" enough by this company that you would be comfortable short selling it after such a big move up?

Q: Hello Peter and crew,
Any comments on the numbers and forecast from Corby yesterday? For a stock that typically has little volatility, the price has really shot up in the past week or so. Do you think this is a good time to get into the stock or do you think the price may come down to prior levels over the next few weeks?
Thanks in advance,
Rory

Q: I currently have a full position in ZRE and half positions in FSV and HCG at 44.65 and 38.75 respectively. In order to reduce interest rate sensitivity I am considering selling ZRE and using the proceeds bring FSV and HCG up to full positions. Other financial holdings are TD, SLF, and BNS. The dividend income from ZRE is not required and is currently being re-invested. Sector allocations are: Financials 15%, Utilities 10%, Consumer Discretionary 10%, Consumer Staples 9%, Industrials 15%, Health Care 7%, Telecom 9%, Info Tech 12%, Energy 9%, Materials 4%. Any feedback on this idea would be appreciated.

Q: After doubling on DHX I painfully sold half to address balance issues in my portfolio.Do you have another idea that could be as successful as Dhx regardless of sector(excluding energy).Just a comment,after this latest correction it became evident that my portfolio has to many Canadian stocks.TSE is not a diversified exchange and many good Canadian stocks where effected by Energy and Materials.So I love that you answer the odd question about U.S. stocks,it gives me some names to do homework on.
