Q: Peter and team,

I have holdings largely in line with the balanced equity portfolio. I've been considering adding some US stocks like SBUX, APPL, etc., but I have a question. If one holds the BE portfolio, is there really a need to add more US/global names? It seems the names in the BE portfolio have well diversified earnings sources and do business all over the world. Are we really adding anything with the out-of-Canada stocks?

Thanks

Q: AMGN seems to have a broader range of products on the market than GILD which appears to be hepatitis-c drug weighted, so why is AMGN not the better stock to purchase in your view? Thanks for your take vis-a-vis these two US stocks.

Q: I have 50k in ZDV and 50K in ZPR, now wondering what to do with additional money I want to contribute on a weekly/monthly basis. I am thinking of adding XEI,or ZRE but not sure. I like continuous income that I can re-invest while my underlying security rises. I was also thinking of investing for international diversification but I will not get the dividend tax advantage, so also looking at taxes. I can always continue to add to my existing positions, sitting on the fence not knowing which side to go. Any suggestions for a middle aged man.

Q: Two past Seeking Alpha recommendations have shown up on my radar, both of which have been beaten down but seem to be making a comeback. SRPT is in the medical field and is known to fail drug tests. HCLP is indirectly involved with oil fracking in the sand business. Both are moving up fast. Is it worth getting in for a short ride? Thanks, Dennis
