Q: My question is sort of on CXI. I use stockwatch.com to get online quotes and noticed that there are a few different quotes for (I think) different exchanges. Usually these different exchanges only differ by a few cents, but for CXI today, the difference was quite significant. My question is what are the exchanges (TSX, Chi-X, CX2, Omega, TriAct) and why is the price so different? Is there an arbitrage opportunity?

Q: KXS was up over 5% on Monday. 15 minutes prior to the Monday open the stock had a bid/ask of $55. Can you shed some light on how the pre market TSX works. The stock closed on Friday around $62 and as stated dropped as low as $55 before opening around $61. Are stocks actually traded in the pre market and if not how was the bid/ask of $55 determined? Thank you.

Q: I've written previously about overhauling a friend's poorly diversified portfolio. I re-worked 2/3 of it in the summer and that's going well but I left most of his energy holdings in place because the sector was rallying even though I wasn't a fan of many of the stocks.

I re-assessed yesterday and we're now selling KWH.UN, the disastrous CPG, and PGF while keeping small positions in ERF and VSN.

In a 7 figure portfolio that has pipelines but no other energy producers what companies would you suggest are best primed to grow assuming oil prices gradually rise. Dividends a bonus of course. In my own portfolio I have WCP, PEY, ALA, KEY and SGY.

Thank you!

Q: Peter, could you explain why Premier Gold (PG) has declined so much in the last three months (from $5 to $2.85). It has declined much more than my other seven gold stocks(KDX, NMI, FNV, AEM, SLW, MND, FR). Could you suggest a better replacement for PG if I decide to sell it?

Q: Understand business conditions are poor And ALC is a really good company in a very bad business. The political climate on free trade and energy concerns suggest there may be no recovery in demand for ALC bulk carrier shipping business any time soon. I noticed there is some shipping industry consolidation underway in Japan and perhaps other countries. Do you think industry consolidation is an option in North America and could it be helpful to ALC outlook. What would you do with this stock as tax loss selling gets underway. Thanks.

Q: Good Morning 5i
Could you plse. provide comment on today's new release indicating that NMX has signed a second off take agreement - this time with FMC Corporation? I note the sales are for high grade carbonate versus hydroxide. Seems to be a positive announcement but SP not overly positive affected on news yet. Other news expected in next month - does today's announcement build potential of positively growing the NMX story? Thanks for any insight.

Q: I bought SJR.B in Jul. 2015 at $27.36. Today, it's $26.57. BMO Investorline Morningstar Canadian Income portfolio and Canada Core portfolio suggests selling this stock and that the fair value is $24.00. Do you agree? They did not raise their dividend in Mar. 2016. If I sell, what can replace it for a secure very long term hold for growing dividend income in a taxable account? BCE? (No banks/financial; I have plenty.)

Q: Peter and team:

I am down 20 to 45 % in these four names and am thinking of consolidating my portfolio and realising some capital losses. Of the four at his time, which would you hold, sell for capital loss and potential buy back, or ditch altogether.

In particular I was wondering about DRT and if I should sell now or wait until after the quarterly report which I believe is Nov. 04th.

Thank you as always for an excellent service!

Phil

Q: Hi Gang,

You mention an expected sell-off of BOS & XTC before year end.

What would you expect the timing and bottom resistance for the sell-off of each company to be?

I would like to take advantage of the tax avoidance while minimizing my hit in participating in the sell/repurchase. I have high hopes for both entities but maybe my focus should be elsewhere?

Thank you for your input and all the great work you all do. This is a great community and I am happy to be a part of it.
