Q: Dear Peter:

These are stocks I hold across various accounts. Thanks for suggesting these. I have done well though they have pulled back a bit.

What is your current view on these miners? Add, Hold or Sell some and consolidate? Or would you sell some and add a new miner?

Always appreciate your input.

Q: I am a large shareholder in this company having held it for more than 20 years. With today's takeover by AEM it is my largest holding by far but with the CVR (contingent value right) holders of the shares would likely receive another 25% in cash for the shares over a 10 year period. Can you go over the deal and advise what would be the best course of action please? John

Q: My investments, across non registered, and RRIF accounts are full of banks, Brookfield’s, pipelines and utilities. My TFSA holds more small growth stocks and is 5% of total portfolios. I have never owned gold stocks but with their continued pullback are starting to look interesting with continuing geopolitical chaos ( not expected to stop as long as we have Trump ) and the significant decline in US government finances, I am looking at AEM or AGI as my foray using my TFSA.
Your thoughts on these two. Do you have a preference ? Time to buy a full ( or partial ) position or wait until decline seems be over.
Thanks. Derek.

Q: Today you recommended selling LUG in a model portfolio. You mentioned the softening momentum in the gold trade as one reason for this recommendation. In your opinion,
1) would you also recommend selling or taking a bit off of other gold stocks such as GLDM?
2) does the softening momentum also apply to gold miners such as AEM?
Thanks

Q: Recently we have seen many blue chip stocks that had done really well pull back.

Companies like RBC, TD, BN, SHOP, MFC, CNR, CP, JPM, GOOG, MSFT, BRK, and others…

What are your favourite five Canadian and US large cap names that have pulled back recently? Would you be a buyer today or would you wait until the market settles a little?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Hello 5i,

We are nearing our max contribution to our TFSA's by transferring excess RRSP funds. We have never used a non-registered account. Can you suggest 5-10 stocks that should be in a non-reg account and why they are best in a non-reg over a TFSA Would you add GLXY or ETHQ to a non-reg due to volatility?

Thank you

D&J

Q: Dear Peter et al:

Thanks to your words of wisdom, I have done well with these.
The question is if one should control the greed and take some profits or stay the course and let the winners run. I don't need to sell to harvest the profits to live. The position sizes are still reasonable. I can hold them for a few years even.

One faces another dilemma. If I do sell, what should I buy. You have been suggesting that one should wait till the sentiment improves for PRL or GSY or CSU and it's offsprings! I have your favourites in energy! CNQ/TOU/ENB/CVE and such.

Which sector appeals to you going forward?

Should one move to larger players like FNV/WPM/AEM?
