Q: Peter, I want an investment for about 4 years in an RESP-like fund where capital preservation is important. Is there a particular preference share etf you like, and as far as stocks go would you expect K-Bro to be low volatility? Thanks, Bill

Q: Hi there,
Like your site and the unbiased approach. I have been sent packages saying I can take part in a class action lawsuit if I fill in forms and send them in etc. The company is Sunpower,SPWR traded in US. Do I take on any financial risk by doing so? I know any payout will be small so if there is the slightest risk, I would not participate.

Q: Hi Peter. Par.un Partners Reit is paying 9.25% yield at current price. On the book value I am down approx 10% and it now represents 4% of my portfolio. I am ok with this because the sector overall is down but the high yield makes me wonder if there is some additional risk that the market is factoring in that I don't see. Would appreciate your comments and also if you feel the dividend is secure Thanks John

Q: Wilan (WIN) - I'm calling this private but I don't really mind; you can post it if you think it might be useful. - With all the comments on WIN it is hard not to get drawn in. Looking at a 10-year chart on WIN (let's not even think about what it did between 1999-2001), it has three significant peaks, each followed by a multi-year swale in which it teated its shareholders to a brutal and extended drubbing. Unless one is a relevantly qualified engineer with a detailed knowledge of its patent portfolio and developments in the hi-tech world in which those patents may or may not be infringed (that isn't me), its prospects for future growth in income are entirely opaque. To me it is an absolute pure speculation - a guess that management will be able to bring the current swale to an end in another significant peak, hopefully before one tires of the drubbing. I'm glad I didn't sell it yesterday, given that it popped up over 50 cents today. I'm even more glad that I did sell it (at a loss) back when it was about $5. If one's approach to equity investment is "to just buy good companies and let the market take care of itself," I don't see WIN as fitting the bill. There are just too many other good companies out there that are not as hard on their shareholders. WIN has been a serial teacher of the lesson that it is important not to fall in love with a stock, even if one has been lucky enough to own it through a period of a couple of years when it went nowhere but up. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter,
We are under invested in the US and are wondering when and how to get in when so many stocks and charts look so overbought.
Would it be best to wait patiently for a small pull back and then buy the S&P? Everyone seems extremely bullish on US right now. What do you think? Thank-you Jan

Q: Peter,

The blame game on WIN is not good and I agree with some of the comments there is no away anybody can predict what is going to happen next. That is the uncertain world of stock markets.
My question is I am thinking of going out of WIN and thinking of investing in either SYZ, E, LOY or LSI. Do you think it is wise to do that. Thanks

Q: Dear Peter and team: Just a few lines of total reinforcement of 5i research. I am glad I had
not decided to buy WiLan but I think the words you used to talk about it made me wary enough
to stay clear. I think you have made it very clear that all of your members must take full responsibility for our buys, and your service is a tremendous, invaluable help. Thanks so much
for your straight forward answers, and timely reposes. Brokers I have had cannot come close to your service. Jean
