Q: I think I know the answer to this question but I will ask anyway. I bought NGD IMG and TA as recommended by David Stanley BTSX several years ago. All have cut or reduced dividends and my capital has been seriously eroded.Time to move on and sell. Thx for selling FM. I cant believe several months ago this was promoted at over $16.50 by the brokers. What a joke.
Thx for all you do.

Q: Hi guys.

Lets say I initially buy a 4% position in company xyz. Over the course a few months that position gets whittled down to 3% due to either share price decline or due to the rest of of the portfolio performing well while xyz does nothing.

For portfolio rebalancing purposes, would you consider that xyz position to be either now 3% of the portfolio, because that's what it represents currently, or would you consider that xyz position to be a 4% weighting because that's what it was when you initially made the purchase.

If you like the company, is there anything wrong with buying more (with existing cash in the portfolio) to bump up the weighting closer to that initial 4%, or do you say "my initial position was 4%, I'll wait till xyz's share price performance catches up to the rest of the portfolio?

I'm using "xyz" as a theoretical example because I'd like to know what the general rule is, or does it really depend upon the stock, MacDonald Dettwiler for example.

Thanks a bunch.

Q: Peter, I am a GIC refugee. Bought ipl Pembina, Enbridge income fund and Veresen <old Forth Chicago> many years ago for income. In those days they were yielding 7 to 8% and they were not popular. They became very popular till the last 6 months and now are dropping like a rock. At what yield do you think the market will demand before they stop dropping? Interesting not one question today on Bnn on pipelines. Question two It is my understanding that Enbridge inc. sold many assets to Enbridge income fund. News release June 19. ENF said they were raising the div. this Sept, Jan 1 and every year for the next four years by 5% per year. Do you still expect this to be the case? Have tried to phone ENF and Enb, Inc with no answer.Thank you, Ken

Q: I have owned 1000 shares of transalta for several years at a cost 50% more than its current value. I am thinking of selling my holdings and reinvesting the proceeds in rnw--my option is to sell only 50% and investing the proceeds in rnw. Given the significant holding of ta in rnw does it make more sense to simply receive my ta dividend and hang on and be patient.

Q: Hi Peter and Gang,
I am currently down by about 28% on my BTO holding, I'm debating if I should bite the bullet and sell my holding or hang on to it. Would appreciate your thoughts on this. Also would you also comment on BTO ability to survive a prolonged slump in gold prices in the $1,700 to $1,800 range.

Regards,
H.S.
