Q: Twin Butte has taken quite the hit today. As of writing, it's down 17%. Is this sell-off justified and is TBE worth a look at these levels? Thank you and kind regards.
Q: What is the story on FAR-T. I bought it recently and am down 4.1%. It is 87 cents and pays over 6% dividend. Should I dump it.
Q: Hi There
For an addition to the oil and gas section of my diversified, income with some growth, retirement portfolio would you prefer WCP over SGY or vice versa or perhaps neither? I already hold FRU, ALA, CPG and VET.
Thanks as always.

Q: Given that Aflac AFL is trading near its 52 week high, would you wait for a pullback, or suggest an alternative in that sector in the US?
Thanks

Q: Peter,
All gold related issues are basically no bid. To me, this is a time to go shopping. I have held off and I dont have much exposure the sector. I do not know how to start and what to look at.
I would think a manager would add value to a sector mandate? Is this the case? I am thinking of RBC precious metals.
Alternatively, I would go for an ETF such as ZJG-to or GDX.
My other thoughts would be to look at some stream companies. FNV or SSL. Even SLW would do. This would be a more conservative way to play the sector. I do feel the real value is in the miners (kinross is down 80%!). Usually you see that when they is an accounting issue or bankruptacy in the near term. I am somewhat analysis paralasis`at the moment.
Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter,
I have followed KP TISSUE INC (KPT TSX), a newly listed company, since its IPO. I like its business and market position. But, I also have some concerns about KPT's corporate structure.
Could you have a comment? Thank you.

Q: Would RME be worth considering, seeing that it has pulled back somewhat lately?
Q: Hi Peter,
I have read some questions about "Middlfield offers to exchange ARTIS shares for shares in the MINT INCOME FUND". This reminds me of an investment "mistake" I did 7 or 8 years ago, here is the story: I had shares of Westshore Terminals (WTE), their value were of about $6.50, one morning I received a call from my broker (I do not have a broker anymore) who explained to me that I could exchange my WTE for a Sentry Select fund commission free! I have accepted the offer. As of today, the value of WTE is of almost $29.00, with a yield of 4.3%. I now understand why they wanted so much my WTE shares.
Since I have started to educate myself about investment and finance through Canadian Money Saver magazine and other sources, those kind of mistakes do not happen anymore.
Thank you,
Gervais

Q: Could you please give an updated opinion on Veresen (T-VSN). It has taken a hit with other utility companies over the past few weeks but still pays a good dividend of 7.84%. Is the current price of $12.75 a good entry point? It is right in the middle of its 52-week range of $11.22 to $13.91. The Royal Bank has a Sector Perform rating on the stock with only a $13.00 target. So there might not be much upside. Is it worth holding in an income portfolio, would you consider the dividend safe? As always, I appreciate your valued comments. Thank you.
Q: Hi,what is your current thinking on Redknee Solutions(RKN)? Thanks
Q: I own Dundee REIT (D.UN) for a few years and have been quite happy with the results. However, with the potential of rising interest rates would it be better for me to liquidate sooner than later....many thanks...
Q: hello 5i:
I'm wondering if you could comment on Y.TO. I've just finished reading an article, point of which, this is a VERY undervalued company. Technicals are interesting as they've moved above the 20 day sma etc etc. i have avoided owning it in the past as the business model seemed quite flawed, but am open to questioning my belief on this.
thanks

Q: Many of the stocks on which you have commented are up substantially since your service started. When looking back at old comments, this can make it a bit of a challenge to know if they still represent good buys. Is it possible for you to include a price cap below which you would consider the stock worth purchasing or some other measure that could guide readers as to when it is time to look elsewhere for value? Alternately would you consider putting out a regular (monthly?) list of best value plays within the stocks you cover? Continued thanks for reasonably priced, unbiased opinions!
Q: The ad in the National post by Middlfield offers to exchange my ARTIS shares for shares in the MINT INCOME FUND. Any thoughts on why would this be a good deal?
