Q: I'm holding Allied Properties and RioCan REITs and they make up about 8% of my portfolio. I like the income but I'd also like some growth. Are there better alternatives in this space? What are your thoughts on the relative amount I've allocated to REITs?

Q: If you could please comment on this U.S. company IMS Healthcare. I would greatly appreciate it. Can you classify it as tech or healthcare and how it compares to its historical data PE/PCF/PB and any other fundamental that is important to you. Would you still prefer GUD over this stock? My worry with GUD is that they do not use their cash and investors become irritated and fickle. I can benefit from IMS as it diversifies my portfolio a little more to the US.I am thinking of a 1 to 3 year hold minimum. Thank You

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
Because of the uncertainties in Central Banks' monetary policies, negative yields in some parts of the world and risk of Helicopter economics, I think it is time to get some exposure in Gold; I will start with half a position (2% of my portfolio equally divided among the 3 above.
Your opinion is most valuable

Q: Hello Peter et al.

I was watching BNN market call the other night and a question came in about CXR and the guest was a technical analyst. He was stating that the seasonal trend for medical stocks is from early June through to the end of Sep each year on average. I currently own CXR and CRH and I am up nicely on CXR and currently up slightly on CRH. I was at one point up almost 100% on CXR (currently 30%) and up 25% on CRH. I have been at times frustrated with both stocks to see them swing all the way back to 0% gain in CXR and 33% loss in CRH from my purchase price at times through the year.. These stocks seem to swing heavily throughout the year. How do you know when is a time to sell and take the profit and to get back in later if the time arises? I seem to be a good buyer of stocks at times but not a good seller. I bought into some of your recommended stocks like CCL.B and DSG and sold them when I made 20% but after I sold they kept rising. CCL.B went up over 100% and DSG went up to 70% where I bought them. You have held onto these two in the portfolio. What is your criteria for selling or still holding on even though you have made a good return.

Regards,

Brendan
