Q: Hi Peter and team,

I am curious to hear your thoughts on MRD's spin-out of MR.UN. If you were to buy one of the two, which would you prefer? In theory, this gives MRD the cash they need to grow quickly in the cash-intensive development business... do you agree with this strategy?

Q: I love buying low and selling high (who doesn't ;-) I'm wondering when our oil sector will be the time to buy again and if I should be buying the good companies at these depressed prices on the worst down market days, or, if the fundamentals have changed so drastically with the explosion of fracking and bad oil sands press, that the sector will stay bearish for some time yet? Certainly Keystone will (if approved) provide some lift to the whole group, but what is your view for the oil sector as a whole? thanks.

Q: Hello 5i Team. Will the new June 1 rule by the dairy marketing board on cheese, effectively allowing Canadian businesses to buy mozzarella at market prices, mean that either Boston Pizza of Saputo now get strong buy recommendations. I believe that the new rule will lower cheese cost by approximately 30% and mozzarella is a significant portion of each pizza. Thanks for your thoughts on this question.

Q: You and your crew are providing well-reasoned and thoughtful opinions. I can't ask for more than that. Some of your former peers, if any, must be grinding their teeth at night.

In light of the ECB decision today and the FED comments yesterday, do you have an opinion on when interest rates in North Amerca will rise?

Q: Peter, aside from a few dormant juniors, I have no weight in gold and have decided to make it 5%. My plan is 80% of that amounbt in Goldcorp and 10% each in Belosun, which I think you find interesting at the current depressed price and Gowest Gold which traded 2 million shares yesterday. I have a moderate to big risk tolerance. What do you think?

Q: Hi, Peter
I've been a fan for quite some time, back to your MF days, and I'm happy you're given us a chance to share in you and your associates insights.It's been very helpful to date.I have an aversion to the Techie's et al proviso of "Sell in May and go away". I'd rather concentrate on finding good companies and cheering them on!
We are all now playing the "pullback" through the summer for the US because it's ahead of it's self,(obviously worked today), however,I would like to ask two questions.
1) Are the fish companies OK(HLF,CLR) or should we take our profits? and 2) Is it too early to set up on the shipping container companies - Diana/Costamare Etc.

Cheers\Slainte
Chris

Q: I'm concerned about the volatility of the TSX; up 144 yesterday, down 167 today at 11.15 pst. In this environment, how can anyone invest for the long term with any confidence? We have 600G in stocks, and another 10% in cash. I was thinking of adding to some positions, but would I be better keeping the cash in the bank? Or is it just 'sell in May and go away'? Until when?

Q: THI
I would welcome your opinion on the recent news re Tim Horton's. I don't like the idea of spinning off the distribution arm, also don't like the idea of taking on debt.
Is recent uptick a great selling opportunity.
Thanks for your input,
George
