Q: Good day, I have had this European ETF for just over a year and it hasn't done very much, but is now up 5%. I assume due to the stimulus packages. It is only 2.5% of my portfolio. Should I be looking at other International diversification somewhere else, or would you keep this as part of a balanced portfolio. I do also have TD International Index - eTDB911, which also has some European and Asian exposure.

Q: I have a substantial investment in this company based on (1) it is the highest grade lithium deposit in North America, and (2) tight control of management and expenses by the Walker family of Sudbury who are spending/investing like its their own money (they do not have more than 10-20% of the equity); and they own (privately) the largest independent blasting and drilling company in Canada (and North America?--not sure). The downside is the stock is now in relatively few hands and is relatively illiquid/volatile. Please provide your view. Thank you.

Q: Looks like AGI missed its fourth quarter targets and the stock has been punished because of it. Does their 2015 guidance seem reasonable even though they have missed their quarterly target a few times? Do you think its a buy at these prices? Do you think they can turn it around or will it get worse? Thanks

Q: Good morning,

Looking for your insights on a number of preferred shares that are nearing reset in the next year or so and whose prices have been driven down given the recent bank of Canada rate cut and decline in 5 year Canada's. Do you feel these declines represent a buying opportunity in these shares? Also in terms of reset options, the 5 year canada and 90 day bill rates are maybe 20 bps apart, does this make the floater rate the more logical choice, given the redcent compression/ flattening of the yield curve?

With thanks,

Thank yo for your insights.

Q: I look at PIH every few months. It is a microcap and the avg. volume is miniscule, but the valuation is reasonable and could be a takeover target I suppose. What do you think of the debt, overall quality of the management and the company's prospects? Thanks as usual for your insight.

Q: Could I get your opinion on this company? They seem to have a fixed price of $77/barrel in Argentina and some properties in Canada. The CAPEX is set for 2015. Lots of reported resources to drill up. Sounds like they have some new board additions recently. Given our low spot price for oil, how does it look to you for the next few quarters? Is it somewhat sheltered vs other energy companies by Argentine fixed price of $77/barrel?
