Q: As you have been pointing out in your excellent answers to so many questions, the stocks of some fine Canadian companies in the non-energy and non-material spaces have been hammered in the current rout. I would like to take advantage of this opportunity to buy some fine companies at bargain prices. Generally I hold most of the companies in your model portfolio; I am over-weight Amaya and Constellation Software. Could you please identify 5 non-energy and material stocks which you consider to be bargains at this time? Thank you.

Q: Could I please have your thoughts on the direction (down) of this fund and whether it is likely to continue. I have held it for years and am now slightly underwater on it - but do not want to lose more.
My objective right now is to raise cash to hopefully take advantage of buying opportunities in some of the areas that have beenb brutalized.
Thanks.

Q: Of all the A-B companies you cover, could you indicate one or two in each rating category (A, A-, B+, B) that you consider to be the best "bargains" at this point. By best bargain, I mean considering risk/reward profile, you look at the share price and say, "Wow, I can't believe that this stock is trading at that low price." (I'm guessing: (A: Stantec), (A-: BNS), (B+: GIL or BAD?), and (B: NAL or ACQ?) What say you? Others?
Also, if possible, of all companies at any rating level (A to B-) on your "watch list," could you indicate one or two similar bargain companies? Energy sector included.
Thank you,
Cheers

Q: Good Morning, CSE now yields 8.25%. Any risk to dividend cut? Do they have any material exposure to the energy sector? I have a small weighting and am thinking of adding more to my income portfolio.
Q: David earlier asked about Canfor and I'm wondering if you favour Stella over them or if they are too different to compare? Would you hold them both?
Q: Hello Peter & Co.
I hold AVO and am down 45%, I also hold BDI and am down 58%. VET is down 26%, QST down 16% and PEY also down 16%.
I have a small capital gain this year. I'm thinking about unloading these (for sure AVO and BDI, not so sure on the others)and investing the proceeds into my S&P500 ETF VFV, to increase my US exposure and eliminate the dogs in my portfolio, also helping with my tax situation. What's your philosophy on selling the dogs and tax loss selling in general?

Q: I hold both SPB(in your income portfolio) and WCP(in your model portfolio). Do you still support both of these companies? Are their dividends secure? Is there any news regarding each of them or are their respective pullbacks just part of the energy collapse as of late. Would you suggest I continue to hold them? Thanks, as always for your valuable guidance.
Q: Are there any CDN or US ETFP's that you like for small cap or large cap exposure? What if one enhanced them with specific stocks to increase specific sector exposure?

Q: Peter and Team,
This is sort of a follow up from another member's question today on MFR.UN and my questions from the past couple days on bond ETFs.
What is the better choice between HFR and MFR.UN? HFR doesn't appear as volitile but its yield is lower along with lower fees. My head tells me HFR is safer but I'm surprised by the high yield on MFR.UN.
Thoughts?

Q: Hi Guys:
the only "energy" related stock I have is Gibson(GIB) and I'm down 5% 5%. I would like to jump in on one of these since they have had a big downturn, Would Suncor or Halliburton be the best to buy at these discounted prices. I noticed that the Royal Back\MorningStar rated it a very strong buy.
What's you opinion SU with a 3.45% dividend or Halliburton with a 1.98% dividend
