Q: Peter and Team,

Cineplex and Constellation Software are my two largest stock holdings and are now 6.0% and 7.0%, respectively of the stock portfolio.

Cineplex's earnings today were pretty good in my opinion and I like the company and the movie slate this year, but I am little concerned by the flat revenue-per-patron number and the free cashflow from last year to this year. Is this a good time to take some off the table and reduce the position to, say, 5%?

On Constellation, I love it but it is now 7% and I am wondering if I should trim it to 5% simply because its too much of the portfolio.

In the stock porfolio, I have 3.5% cash at this time if that helps.

Thanks. Great service as always.

Q: Hello,

I did very well with PHM. The CEO Michael Dalsin is starting a new company called Convalo. It was originally a resource company called Valiant Minerals (VTM) but as of next week will be trading as Convalo under the symbol CXV. They will be running substance abuse clinics which are now covered by health care insurance in the U.S.

Can you explain how a mineral company becomes a health company? Also is it a good idea to buy when it starts trading next week, or should I wait to see how it does? I've never bought into something like this. What are the risks?

Thanks,

Carla

Q: The banks seem to be big into mutual funds and TD is introducing low volatility funds, retirement funds, and shaking up their portfolios. So in the bank mutual fund space what are your overall impressions of TD Mutual Funds for the $100,000 client who does not want to manage their own investments?

Q: I am considering opening up an information trust account for my 9 year old. He has 'savings' from gifts of around 5k that we have been keeping for him. To get him comfortable in the market, I thought it would be fun to start an account for him. However, I am unsure how well I could diversify only 5k. That got me thinking about buying holding type companies and splitting the money the best I can among them. I have been thinking about BAM.A, FFF, MRC, OCX. Are there any others that would fit this criteria? I'm primarily looking at TSX traded stocks for simplicity. Do you think this is a good approach or would you just buy "single" companies? Thanks in advance - I value your advice!
