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.

Q: Russel Metals and Wajax are two companies that have ties to the oil industry. Wajax reported what appeared to be good results and the stock is down and I haven't been able to find RUS results, although the stock was down significantly today.

Are both down on their own merits or do you suspect the energy sector decline is largely responsible?

thanks for your insight. It helps to keep me off the ledge!
