Q: In your Balanced Portfolio you have a holding in Goldcorp because you want to have a stake in gold for strategic reasons. Recently, in answering questions on investing in gold stocks, you have consistently referred to AEM as a better investment than G. Why are you not swapping G for AEM in your balanced Portfolio?
Q: Hey guys, great service. I've been slowly building the balanced portfolio and have some cash. It seems like a good time to buy. The four stocks I'm missing are MG, DSG, CXI and ESL. Which do you think is the best buy today? Thanks.

Q: Why such huge swings in the oil stocks. Is it institutional investors buying large lots and buying and selling to make quick money? But someone is buying expecting to sell at a higher price. Every time crew goes up I think I should sell and then Ibdon't just to see it fall again. It is so confusing. There is an oil rout so why are these things moving up?

Q: My current financial sector weighting is 10% . Do you feel this is a good time to look at increasing it - up to 13-15%, perhaps.
If so, my current holdings are BNS,CXI,EFN,GS,SLF,TCN & CDZ. (very small positions in CXI, TCN & CDZ). I have room in both my TFSA & SDRSP. Would appreciate your thoughts on what current holdings, if any, I might increase,(and/or eliminate) Or, if there are new names you would consider adding ?

Q: Don't see much Q/A on Airline companies. Would have thought they would be getting a boost to the bottom line in 2016 due to the low (and going lower) cost of oil. WJA share price looks pretty beat up right now. Can you come up with any negatives on this stock?
Q: Hello,
Could I please get your opinion on Transforce vs Trimac. When Contrans was sold I purchased a small part position in each TFI and TMA. Both are down approx 30% and each represent about 1- 1.5% of my portfolio. I am debating on selling one of them for a loss and adding to the other. Which one if any would keep and why? Or should I average down on both or one of them? I can hold long term if needed.
Thanks for your help,
Kerri

Q: Peter & Team, I have held both stocks for a long time and done very well, but they are down sharply in January. The US rails (CSX & UNP recently reported) are doing really badly with freight volumes in decline like recession levels (as was the case last quarter). But CN, counter trend, put in a great result last quarter and First Call earnings outlooks suggest CNR will way outperform the major US rails again. Do you think this will continue and why has CNR been beating the US rails? As for SJ, I assume it is off sharply because of the decline in US rail business. CNR and SJ are both cyclical and in this economic environment, should they be held or sold?
