Q: Hi Peter & Team
re Paladin Labs (PLB) Since the bid from ENDO is $77 and the actual trading price now for PLB is currently over $93, does it not make sense to sell and get an extra $13+ in profit, then perhaps buy either PLB or ENDO when the price settles down ? Am I missing something ??

Q: Could you please provide some insight into the steep decline in Natural Gas prices over the past couple of weeks. Last week's inventories were down from the previous week, which would suggest a rise in price, not further declines. I realize that future's contracts also play a role in price determination, but we are going into a period of seasonal strength for Natural Gas which would support rising futures. Your comments? Many thanks!

Q: Hi Peter, I am sure this is a busy day for you with a ton of earnings, deals, etc.

Two quick ones for you...Do you think PLB will receive a competing bid? As well, do have any insight or comments on ESL's latest purchase?

Thanks again!

Q: David's question about profit & DRIP's.
I faced the same question - within RRSP - and have decided - for now - to take profit & reinvest profit into other dividend stock I do not currently own thereby increasing diversity while keeping up the share count.

Q: Hello Peter:
First in a very short duration of membership, I am very impressed with the response and quality of advice provided. I have listened to you for long time on BNN from your stint in Sprott onward and I like your investment style.

I would very much like to learn how you assign rating on a stock and rationale for weighting within portfolio. For example you changed weighting on AYA.

I try to segment portfolio two ways; as the type of investment (Foundational, cyclical, opportunistic) and according to 13 TSX groups (Discretionary, Staples, Energy, Materials …). Segmentation is to have diversification. Each position is not more than 5%. Bond segment is outside this portfolio. Am I on the right track? Finding which TSX group the stock belongs is sometime difficult so I use my judgment. Any insight on portfolio creation and maintenance will be appreciated. Thanking you.

Q: Hi Peter, your thoughts on a trade would be appreciated. One of my REIT stocks Cominar Real Estate Investment Trust has broken from the pack on the down side. I’m looking to possibly sell this closed end fund and buy something like Chartwell Retirement Residences. I like to hold my positions long term and focus on dividends but I will tweak my portfolio once in a while, so far it’s worked for the better.
Thanks,
Div. Investor

Q: Peter, Lana & Co.

Based on previous 5i comments, I am about to rebalance my Health Care sector to 10% @ 2% KBL, 2% PLB, 2% VRX, 2% MRK and 2% BMY. I want growth (30 year old risk on investor) and a bit of US exposure. Do you like this breakdown, or would you sub out 1 of the names for something else / growthier?

Thanks, as always.
