Q: The market seems to be sorting-out energy yeildcos, blessing some, cursing others. Given Torc's recent outperformance, as well as analyst target prices substantially above current levels, why do you think it remains out of favour (relative to, say, Peyto, Surge, or Whitecap)?

Q: How would you rank these four? Do you see any reason not to invest in any of them (aside from general aversion to small cap)? NYX and FAN are smaller and have been crushed. Is there another gaming stock I should be watching? I like this sector and think now is a good time to invest.
Q: Just a comment.This company did a bought offering and was oversubscribed at $16.50 as recommended by the brokers. Why the big drop in less than 3 months?? I think I am getting an education as how the brokers do their business. Someone is making money shorting this stock and selling of the offering to suckers like me. I can understand 5i not recommending this anymore

Q: Hi Just a comment/suggestion regarding Pierre 's question about best way to change CAN in US and the other way around. Members could check this article from the Can. couch potato called Norbert’s Gambit: The Complete Guide and see if beneficial. I have done it many times at Direct investing and TD also. Share if you wish and have a great week all. Dominic.
Q: Suggestion for Pierre.
You need Cdn. a/c & a US a/c.
Purchase a large cap. Cdn interlisted stock such as RY, TD, SU & so on in your Cdn. a/c.
Ask your broker to tfr. the purchased security to your US a/c.
Sell the security in the US a/c. You now have US funds.
There is some mkt. risk but is worth it considering the huge fees saved.
You can also do it gradually to lessen mkt. risk.
Cost is 2 commissions plus mkt. risk.
If you happen to already own an interlited, tfr. to US a/c & sell.

Q: Hi, on Aug 17 you stated the following about the CAD banks:
"If you can find a better sector at 10X earnings with good dividend growth, low volatility then a switch makes sense. There just are not many sectors/stocks with those qualities."
For an income portfolio, can you advise of some other stocks in other sectors that currently have the qualities of the CAD banks as stated?
