Q: RE "what's your sell disciplilne?" blog.
If DOL was in the BE portfolio or the growth and you had held it for over a year with a 100% gain, what would 5i do?
1) let it run on fundamentals, 2)take the profit and let the rest run, 3)substitute, 4) sell on valuation or stop gain, 5)trade on technicals and buy back based on the belief it will run more.
Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter,
If I read correctly from the various message boards, TD sold a lot of shares of PHM and since than the stock has not recovered. PHM continues to build a base around the 1.5 range. Recently on BNN, there has been positive comments on PHM with a price target in the 2.25 range and yet the stock has not moved. Their recent financing closed and I was expecting the price to move higher. Are you able to shed light on this please? With respect to FFH, the stock just keeps getting punished. Any comments and are you able to provide the company's PE ratio as well as the ROE please as yahoo, and google do not seem to track the numbers the same. Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
Financials represent 8% of my RRIF portfolio; they comprise BNS, CXI, EFN and TD (I also own DH in my TFSA). I'm thinking of adding either Royal Bank or Sun Life or an ETF of US banks to my RRIF portfolio; could you please guide me?
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Hi Peter and co.
I recently scaled back on my US holdings in my RRSP in order to lock in my gains from capital and currency appreciation. I was lucky enough to buy the majority of my US holdings when the Canadian dollar was close to par with the US. My next step is to invest these proceeds into Canadian companies. When the Canadian dollar gets back on to an even playing field with the US, I may again look to increase my exposure in the US.
Considering this is my RRSP and I am 36 years old, what percentage of my holdings, in your opinion should I keep in US companies? My goal is to continue to see growth from my US holdings while minimizing currency risk.
Thanks!

Q: He!lo Team, I'm curious about the motivation of DRT to raise money. I can see it if they were doing aquisitions but I think I read that the funds were going to be used to fund operations. As a growing and profitable company could they not have funded growth from cashflow? Is this not a negative on some metrics? Your insight is welcomed!
Thanks
Dave

Q: Just curious as to when the ruling for their appeal against Apple should be announced. I thought a decision was to be made in May, is this correct?
Q: Home Capital Group: I am now down 16.4%. Bought it at $51.19. Given all your other most recent replies to other members, is it worth holding onto? Is it likely to recover, and become a good decent growth stock? Or should I cut my losses and sell it? (It's in a registered account.) If so, what should replace it as a growth stock? Also, Open Text has been declining in the past 2 weeks. I'm down 4$. Is it worth holding onto?
Q: Hello Peter & Team,
April 14 you commented (@ $3.05) you were comfortable with the stock.
I am up a little under 60% in a very short period of time. It is very tempting to take the winnings and go away. Please tell me why you think I should or should not do this and what you think we might be able to expect for MSL over the next 360 days.
In appreciation for all you do
Gord

Q: Hi Team,
What are your thoughts on Bitgold?The BNN interview this morning made complete sense to me.Is this a place for wait and see how foolproof the execution of their vision and how the algorithm runs in practice.Do you see any flaws in the model.

Q: For fixed asset allocation in ones portfolio, can an allocation of say 20% of cash availble for investment be put in paying off a portion for mortgage (for those of us who still have one!)..The remaining 80% would be invested in stocks..does this make sense or is a combination stocks and bonds recommended.
Also in instances where one gets a lumpsum of cash for investment (long term), can flow through shares be used? Note: This lumpsum will result in one being put in the highest tax bracket. How does one effectively use Flow through share it as it is very risky in nature?

Q: hello 5i:
have read a lot recently about GUD and J Goodman. Mr. Goodman seems to be the main resource; how dependant is the company on him, and what would management look like without him. Could they survive?

Q: Hi Peter,
Just wanted to say it is sure nice to read your insights on the market(Your article in the FP...Five reasons to ignore stock market doomsayers).
It seems that nearly everyday lately the Globe and Mail and the Financial Post have a story from some so called expert calling the end of the market.
"The experts seem to crawl out of the woodwork at this time of year every year".
Thanks, Charlie
