Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Please give your assessment of there 4th Q.R. in relation to the future of this company. How serious do you rate this poor quarter? I know you have looked favourably on this company in the past...does this change your opinion...if so to what degree. Would you consider buying it after it dips...or do you think there are now better possibilities in the junior sector?

Q: Based on my own accounts it seems that bond ETFs are negatively correlated with stocks, on the whole. That's not surprising, but do you have any numbers on this?

Q: BCI is about the only B+ or better stock in your coverage universe that I do not own.

Currently it appears to be quite oversold .... and does carry a small but respectable dividend.

Do you still like the company & would this be a good entry point?

Thanks.

Q: Late January you commented that Open Text was trading at 15 times earnings or so...however I cannot figure how you calculated this.
Was it forward earnings? GAAP or Non GAAP earnings? What was the earnings number you were using?

Q: Can you recommend 3 good names in the financial sector (any sub-sector) that are a good value? Banks seem to have had a bit of a run with the rising interest rate and deregulation talk and they seem a bit pricey. Would you wait for a pull back or is the run up justified and sustainable? Anything else look good today?

Thanks

Q: When using the above methodology (BTSX), by definition, sector balancing is uncontrolled. Given that, and the undisputed performance of the methodology, can a long term buy and hold investor commit to using this method for the bulk (say 75%) of his equity portfolio and feel confident of the portfolio's stability relative to the TSX index?

Q: Peter, I am going to provide my daughters (18 & 19) with $5,000 to start their TFSA's. The amount is not large enough to have a portfolio and I have read your answers on this type of question. However, I am thinking of a EFT for the S&P 500 rather than the Canadian index which is too focused on Financials and Energy. As their expenses will be in Canadian $, I would like your recommendations for a hedged EFT. Should I add a small position in SHOP, etc?
