Q: Peter and Team,

I've owned Constellation Software since the model portfolio was created and have done well with it... very happy, great pick!

Reading their quarterly results, it seems like they are firing on all cylinders still - cash is up, debt was reduced, they grew both by acquisition and organically, earnings per share are up - things look good and the company still seems like 'A' quality.

Am I missing anything?

Q: Hi guys,

Is there a place where I can find reliable financial information on all Canadian and U.S. companies. For example, type in a ticker symbol and access recent quarterly results for the last few years, P/E ratios, forward P/E, etc. I don't mind paying for the service if the information is reliable.

Thanks a lot!
Jason

Q: Hi Peter,

BTO, Goldcorp among others, were decimated this morning. I have been holding approximately a 10% weighting, in a diversified portfolio. Sell? Hold? What is your advice?

Thank you,

Q: AltaGas is made up of 3 business segments (power, gas and utilities). In terms of asset allocation sectors (Finance, Utilities, Consumer, Industrial, Resources), it is a hybrid of Utilities and Resources. I currently split it 70% utilities and 30% resources.

Your thoughts?

Q: Regarding asset allocation and REITs, I know you consider them to be almost a separate asset class. Most advisories I receive have them in the Finance sector; one has them in the Manufacturing and Industrial sector. I own Sentry REIT Fund and TCN. I currently split them 50% Finance and 50% Industrial. Your thoughts on the allocation split?

Also, my REIT exposure is 8% of my total portfolio, including equities, fixed income and cash. It is 12% of my equity-only holdings. I am a retired income investor. Is this REIT exposure appropriate?

Thanks for your help.
Steve

Thanks, Steve
