Q: Hello Peter and Team

First off keep up the excellent work!

My question revolves around a RESP. We max out contributions each year and currently we have $2500 invested, another 2500 in cash with approx $1000.00 coming in from the Fed. Gvt.(grant program) The 2500 is in ZCN. We would like to look at an emerging market and or bio tech etf as a second holding what would you suggest and why? Additionally if there is another etf in another sector that you believe would be a good buy currently or in the next few months please let us know.

Once again much appreciated and have a great week!

Q: Hi Peter, I was locked into several mutual funds in the early winter of 2008 and we all know what happened after that. I have pulled 10% each year since then and reinvested in "good companies". I am in the seventh year now and wonder if I should cash out all mutual funds 9 months early taking a 1.5% hit and reinvest in "good companies" over the summer given that the market and mutual funds are on a high? Many thanks!

Q: When I was dealing with a broker at RBC I got buried in Denison and Palidan. I have since averaged down when they got under $1.00. I need .50 cents on Denison and $1.00 on Palidan to get out. There seems to be more talk about uranium lately re SPROTT.
Do you think there is hope for uranium in the next year?

Q: Hi Peter and Team, regarding Detour, DGC...this is such a dirty deal!! Seems like Detour has taken a detour itself, from common sense. Is it time to exit with a loss at this point? I took the do nothing suggestion by you and got burnt by these fools at DGC! Can existing share holders put a stop to this lunacy and stupidity? Management and Board should be flogged, tarred and feathered because of this deal...obviously I'm damn angry with this deal!! Thanks.

Q: Hi. I'm not too happy with the financing deal Detour (DGC) did today, so I'll probably sell this week. Either they needed a lot of money to finance a significant problem quickly (red flag) or management lost their minds (bigger red flag)!
To replace it, I'm considering Premier Gold (PG), McEwen Mining (MUX) or Sandstorm (SSL); or maybe a small silver - Scorpio Mining (SPM). What are your thoughts...thanks again!!

Q: Hi Peter and team,
I have some questions about the Model Portfolio... Is the implication that you recommend each of the stocks until we are told otherwise? (So I would be encouraged to purchase all 20 of them today, regardless of how the market is doing?)
Also, I note that you have not reported on 9 of the 20 stocks within this Model. Why is that so?
And, for an unrelated question, how do I find out how frequently (annually, quarterly, monthly) a particular stock pays its dividend?
Thanks in advance for your response. I love this service!!!

Q: Hello Peter and team,

I don't understand why mortgage REITS such as ARR, AGNC and the like are doing so poorly stock price wise. Is it not better for these companies if the Fed is going buy fewer bonds as the American economy improves? Does this Fed withdrawal not give them a better spread between what they borrow at and what they can buy mortgages for?
Regards,
Max

Q: Hi Peter and team,

I got caught up in all the hype about rare earths and purchased Great Western Minerals Group (GWG). It has definitely not done well - is there any hope for this stock or should i get out.

Thanks

Q: I am a long term investor looking for div growth with some capital appreciation. I took a position a few years ago in ZWU for the high yield. The yield has been decreasing and price is range bound. It is now at the high end of the range and am considering selling and taking a position in INE which looks to have some good growth (both capital and Div) in its future with new projects in the works. Your thoughts!
