Q: My portfolio consists of 25 stocks with an approximate 4% weighting each. I'm currently overweight in oil/gas and want to trade out at least two of Tourmaline, Rock, Bellatrix, Spartan and Bankers Petroleum. In your opinion, a) what two should I sell and b) what would be the best investment (total return) over the next 12-24 months between Boyd (byd.un), Boston Pizza (bpf.un), CCL Industries (ccl.b) and Parkland Fuel (pki). Thank you for the great service.

Q: I few years ago I purchased Torstar TS.b for about $9.00. I have seen it fall to about $5.00 and now it is up around $8.00. I have done well on other buys most recently thanks to you. I am thinking of selling and would appreciate your comments on selling and a replacement. Great work. I hope the driver that hit you was charged.

Q: July 10th gold opened up at $18 and held onto most of its gains. Gold stocks did not participate. There was news on PLG and FVI. Did not seem negative but they both dropped substantially. Any reason why these two stocks would fall that far with gold going up?

On a different topic VCM and DWI look impressive. Would you give them a good rating?
