Q: hello 5i:
I haven't been able to find any news on DTXs latest quarterly report, which were out on the 15th of May. I'm quite surprised no ones asked, as it seemed to be a popular stock. Can I have your take on it please? And what do you see in the future for this company?
thanks again
Paul

Q: Hi,
I'm following your new Income portfolio and I would like to add a company in the Health sector, Consumer discretionary and Consumer staples (other than Loblaws.) Do you have any recommendations in those sectors? Thank you.
p.s. It was tough to find a web site that broke down the TSX into 10 sectors and tougher to find a site with the constituents of each individual sector.
Really enjoy reading your articles and listening to the webinars.

Q: Hi Peter: My husband and I who are both in our mid 70's have sold our house and so have a lump sum to invest. We are retired so looking at fairly conservative investing. We are considering investing in ETF's and would appreciate your guidance as to the percentage diversification between Equity ETF's, Bond ETF's and cash equivalents. Thanks Judy

Q: Peter and Crew,

Yet another question about Amaya (AYA).

I listened to the quarter report and was not impressed. Managemnet seemed to avoid many of the questions and did not provide much information.

My main concern is with the financing they have arranged at 13% plus 4 million options. This seems like a very steep interest rate for a "good" quality company. I trust the bond guys more than the equity people so I am greatly concernied that AYA is a very, very speculative investment. I have seen many other companies that I consider to be speculative with rates much lower than 13%.

Your comments would be appreciated.

Regards
John

Q: Morning Peter and All,

I am planing to establish a position of a lumber stock in my long term holding portfolio. My preferred screening result is WEF:TSX for its low valuation, good geo-location of its reserves, export to Chinese market and reasonable dividend yield. Normally, I can bear 30% price correction for a stock in my long term holding portfolio, provided my buying conditions are still kept well.

Looking for your comments? If my choice is fine, what is your suggestion about the buy prices?

Thank you.

Q: Are we approaching a bear market? Tim Shufelt, in Sunday's Globe and Mail, Quoted Denis Mark of the National Bank, and others, who pointed out that while the indexes might not have fallen off, that is largely because of the movement of money into large cap stocks. The 'average' stock, he said, was down 10-12%-27% on S&P-TSX-NSQ from its highs, depending on the index. He called it a stealth correction, and said it would soon spread to large caps too. Any advise? The TSX has fallen 8 of the last 10 sessions now.
