Q: Hi guys,

Your service is unbeatable! I appreciate your insight and perspective on investing. I was a Peak Oil / resource guy when I first started investing 7 years ago and never thought my portfolio would be taking turns it has in the last 2 years. I have 500 PEY shares between my RRSP and TSFA and it's had a good run and I'm thinking about selling it. I like PEY, but think value it's a tad high. What do you think about flipping PEY 2 other companies, 1 in my TSFA and 1 in my RRSP?

In my RRSP I'm thinking about starting a position in HCG or SAP or...? In myTSFA I'm thinking about starting starting a position in Telus or...?

I currently own RY, TD, BNS, CN, IPL.UN, AD, AP.UN, COS, AX.UN, BNP, BEP, BIP, PEY, CSU, EIF, THI, KMP and CFN all about equal weight and a few others smaller ones that I hope to clean up over the year.

Thank you!

Brent

Q: Thank you for your response to my proposed summer switch: That being said, there is a chance that the US market will continue to outperform Canada, so that would be the main consideration in this switch. Also, switching now and re-balancing in six months does sound a bit like timing the market and the Canadian-US differences, which generally is ill-advised.You will be shifting towards interest-rate sensitive names also."

My motivation has four components:
1) to cut back on my daily trading, for the summer;
2) a view that the US president is committed to hurting the fossil fuel business, without regard to economic cost;
3) my expectation that Congress and the President will remain at loggerheads up to the 2015 congressional elections, leaving a leaderless Western World and related poor recovery of Western economies, including Canada's - big time; and
4) my hope that there will be a major boom as Aapl, Goog, Mcsft in time for a yesr-end spurt in consumer spending on Technology toys.

Given this background, maybe I should forget about my re-balancing to Canadian names and just hunker down for a lac lustre year on the SP500? Any comments?

Q: Your views on the newly formed Spyglass Resources Corp (SGL) would be much appreciated. I'm well under water on this one through previous holding in Avenex. Is the hefty dividend sustainable? Is it likely to recover along with CDN energy sector? Your view of management?

This is a great service you're providing the retail investor. Thank you!

Q: Hi Peter,

I am baffled by the 30% additional fall in NPK since the last time I posted a question about it. After a lot of reading I am personally of the opinion that this is definitely a 2 or 3 bagger stock. It has an excellent project with great economies of scale especially for Brazil's requirements of potash if it gets the needed financing. Potash is a commodity the demand of which is tied to population increase. What is the possibility that this company will be just like all the penny stock precious metal failures that fail to obtain cash infusion.
