Q: Hi Peter,
Regarding the question on the potential DHX media share structure, is it best to put a stop loss on the stock if it is a structure that limits its upside (potential take over )? The official announcement(after earnings ) alone could bring pressure to the stock

Q: Relative to Antoine's question on sep 17 about a website to follow dividends, I use the Globe and Mail's Globe investor service and have set up a "watchlist" for my portfolio. It includes the div Yield, Div annual Per share amount and Payout Ratio among many other user selected options. It is a free service and I have been using it for many years. Cheers.

Q: Hi guys,

Could I have your view on Eagle Energy Trust (EGL.UN) and how safe the insanely high dividend is. Lots of insiders buy in September with a 10 year low stock price so what is your general view on the stock. It would be for a div buy and hold strategy.

Thank you,

Richard

Q: Hi Peter,
Awesome job on your cycling journey. I enjoy reading your blogs and have financially supported this cause.
Do you have any insight as to why Horizons North Logistics is losing ground today?
Also, do you think this is a good time/price to pick it up to include in a balance portfolio?
Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i team,
In the energy producing sector of my portfolio I hold CPG (light oil), BTE (heavy oil), TOU (gas) and VET (oil & gas). But I'm not too happy with CPG for their endless acquisitions by raising more equity, I'm switching it to WCP and I thank you for your concurrence.
All these holdings are more or less equal weighted; so, I'm thinking of adding to TOU my only gas-based holding and what better time than now. Unless you know of another gas-based stock of equal quality.
Thanks as always,
Tony

Q: I'm trying to overcome by "home country bias" for my RSP with a 15-20 yr time horizon (I have a DB pension so I'm not afraid of some risk). Can you suggest 3-5 stocks for US and Int'l exposure and/or other ways of participating in equity markets outside Canada.

Q: I am a new sudscriber.
Re your model portfolio: I don't see the initial amount of money invested in each stock, the number of shares bought and the total at the start of the portfolio.
Given that the portfolio has had an 8.7% performance rate to date, how would one emulate this portfolio without coming in at a high level?
I look forward to being a subscriber to your excellent site that I have been aware of for some time now.
