Q: Great work Peter ... I am now retired and am about to allot my funds into their proper allocations. RRSP,RIF,and LIF ... I had chosen 7 stocks from the Income Portfolio for my LIF but having read comments from other investors I am not sure if I am heading in the right direction. You and Ryan have been so supportive so I must ask How would you allot 400K(RRSP), 200K (RIF) and 210K (LIF) ...right now I am completely covered 400K in the Model Porfolio. If this is to much to ask I completely understand , I do have a plan but would like to allow your expertise to weigh in. Thanks for all you do and post this at your discretion.

Q: Could I get an update on San Gold, specifically on Greg Gibson and his involvement with the company plus the combination of Sgr and Kerr. I was a big loser with SGR in the past but did very well with Trelawny when Greg sold it. He impresses me as a very honest knowledgable mining person. Thanks

Hi Peter and Team,
I am share holder of Enerplus Corp. and watch it's share price dropping from it's high. Yesterday the company anncounced to suspense Stock Dividend Programme, and it dropped 4% on that day. Is it due to sector related/market movment or investors do not like this move?
Pls give your thought on this company and it's outlook. Should I take may profit or continue to hold.
Thanks as always.

Q: I have positions in all the major Cdn banks and I wonder why you, and many other advisers, tout TD and BNS over the other banks. When I started with BMO Invest in June '13, BNS was $59.04 a share and BMO was $61.37 Yesterday BNS was $72.94, a nice $13.90 increase, but BMO was $85.42, up $24.05! Why does BMO never get the recognition it deserves?

Q: What's going on with FSZ? I purchased this stock because you liked it (can't remember specific reasons). I've held since Oct 2013 and it's down 5.5%. Yes, it pays a dividend close to 3%, but I'm wondering if I should sell while my losses are low.

Q: Pardon my lack of knowledge, but what do you mean by "half position" and "full position" for an investor's holdings. More generally, I cannot find a glossary of terms on the web site.

Thanks for all the great info.
