Q: Hello Peter
Do I include "Cash" as part of my equity portfolio since the cash will one day be used to buy equities? I currently have 19.3% in banks [RY,CM,BNS,NA,LB,OLY] counting the cash as part of the equity portfolio but 23.3% considering equities only.
I have no lifecos but am considering buying Sun Life [SLF] which you recently recommend, but if it is considered to be a "financial" then maybe that would be too big an overall position in financials. I also have 40% in fixed income. I would value your opinion.
Many thanks...... Paul

Q: Dear Peter,
I hold shares in NOV (National Oilwell Varco). The Co has announced a restructuring. Would it result in negative tax implications for a canadian investor? Do you know when the restructuring will take place? Should I hold or sell for reinvestment elsewhere? Thanks. I appreciate the great service.

Q: Morning to all.. my question involves dividend payouts. SYZ is paying out quarterly and this is due Dec 15th. After that date would it not be advantageous to buy into a monthly payer like IPL for two months taking advantage of their payout and then buy back into SYZ? Cycling for payouts ... could it work? TY.
Q: Re: DSG
The leadership transition should not be a problem at all because it was planned. But how do you think it's preliminary result? I think the stock price move now is caused by the preliminary results. I've already have half position, do you think I should take full position now? Thank you for your excellent service!

Q: Hi, Peter
I frankly do not like the way Dundee International is behaving. I worked around financial statement and listened again yesterday to their conference call. Some questions regarding renewals, selling some assets did not helped my feeling. I sold this morning after buying a very small position.
What is your take?
Thanks again.

Q: Hi, after firing my wife's financial advisor, I transferred all of her securities to a brokerage account (BMO). I have trimmed the weeds (there were a lot) and am left with one flower - PMT.DB.D which was bought at $72 and now fluctuates around $96. I'm not familiar with this security and am attempted to sell it and reinvest in a growth stock in her TFSA. Can you share your thoughts on this security, whether to hold or sell, and what I could replace it with in her TFSA?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Q: Hello team:
I owned some PWF which I accumulated between 25 to 28;
now it is over $ 35, I enjoyed the nice dividend
I recently added some SLF (half position) so that if interest rates slowly increase, the life co would offset the loss of value of the bonds in my income porfolio
Which Life co would you add to PWF and SLF ?; Thanks!
