Q: Good morning,
Another oil question.
I am considering selling enterprise group (down 50%) and investing more into WCP. WCP is down 18% but I feel it may have a better recovering and pays a dividend. I will have 10% of my portfolio in Energy made up of WCP, CPG & SGY. Tax loss does not apply, my holdings are in an RRSP account. Your opinion please.
Thanks
Roy

Q: Hi.
Would you consider KEY good value investment at this price level for a 1-3 year or longer term hold. Is this a good time to buy when there is panic or would it be better to wait for price stabilization? would you prefer PPL or IPL?

Q: Over the past months, I thought I'd give your plan a whirl of buying strength and forego using Stops with names you really liked in your Questions/Answers section. **HUGE** mistake! My portfolio is down 25%. Hindsight demonstrates the only way to stay out of trouble with your service, was to invest in your ENTIRE portfolio and completely ignore your Q&A on any companies outside your model portfolio. Cherry picking names from your Q&A section has proved very painful indeed. Expensive lesson learned!
Q: Hello.
If CNR's Petroleum revenue went to 0 (lower oil production creating capacity in existing pipelines), what do you think CNR's price would settle at?
CNRs Q3 report (Investor-Financial-Quarterly-2014/Q3/Q3-2014-US-GAAP-MDA-en.pdf), puts Petroleum and chemicals at about 20% of the Q3 earnings.
Thanks.

Q: Oil is up today and stocks such as whitecap, surge etc. Are down again, seems like a no win scenario to me, am I missing something, thanks?
Q: Hi, Just a comment on Dave's missive about investing. There are more than one way of making money in the market. Different styles suit people with different temperaments. If you like buying when thing go up and make money, good on you. I'm more with Warren Buffet, I like stocks when they go down. As an example, in Jan 1998, oil was $13 a barrel(!!!)going to $10 and change. I took a full position in COS at $3.84 a share. People thought I was stupid as it took $14 (!!!) to produce a barrel from oil sands in those days. I sold most of my position at $50 (should have sold it all! But the remaining shares yield 36% on cost). Just different people, differing ways to make money. Henry

Q: Hello Peter & Co.
Congratulations for your equity portfolio's outstanding return in 2014; I now own 15 of your 22.
My exposure to the financial sector consists of BNS, EFN, HCG and TD and the technology sector consists of CSU, ESL, CGI, MDA and OTC.
I am seeking to add SLF to the financials, DSG to technology, DH a hybrid fin/tech; but I only have room for 2. Because I own 2 banks, I'm leaning towards DH and skip SLF.
Your opinion is most appreciated.
Thanks,
ony

Q: Hi 5i,
I am currently 5% down on CPG in a non registered account. I am thinking of using this loss to offset my capital gains. I understand that there is a 30 day waiting period before entering into the same stock, but does this apply if I want to purchase before 30 days in a RRSP or TFSA instead of the non registered.
Thank you.
Janice

Q: Hi, I have 15% weighting in REITS, with 9% in these 3 Industrial REITS. Can you please comment on the Industrial REITS in general, as well as these 3 REITS specifically? Jeff
Q: I was looking at the US asset class 5 years returns an was surprised to see MLP's as indisputable No 1 (+200%), even far far from the Reits at +87%.
Could you explain the difference(S) of the 2 assets classes and if there is an MLP defined class in Canada?
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter, just wondering what your team thinks of Savaria? It's still a relatively small company based on market cap, but EBITA grew close to 20% y/y in the last quarter, and the company again raised it's dividend. They seem to be quietly building momentum, they seem well positioned to benefit from the demographic shift that is under way, and the stock has recently broken higher after a period of consolidation. Your thoughts?
