Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi Peter,

My son is planning to go to University next year and I did some bad investing decisions for his RESP portfolio including investments in WIN, AM etc which dropped in value a lot. The portfolio currently has the following:

KBL (40%) down 7%
LOY(18%) down 19%
HWO(24%) down 5%
INA(18%) flat

Would you suggest a replacement to these investments (the total current value is around $15.5k) so I can at least gain back the 30% I have lost, over the next one to two year time frame. Thanks a lot

Q: I hope this is not as dumb as it may appear....There are many very good companies and ETF's that are illiquid, some trade by appointment only. Is the biggest factor in this the fact that the shareholders are unwiiling to part with stocks due to their perceived quality of the company/ETF?

Q: Not sure if this is within your purview but I am looking to diversify into Intn'l and Emerging markets. I need an ETF or two with a dividend yield of 3% plus. Currently have UXM for my US exposure and am thinking of VEE for Emerging but not sure about one for Intn'l. Another option would be CYH to cover all 3 areas. Any ideas

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I recently purchased some shares in Twin Butte Energy (TBE) at $2.10/share. It was halted this afternoon and then announced that they are purchasing a small private company and issuing subscription receipts at $1.95. I assume the shares will fall to that level or lower in the coming days - is this the likely result with a subscription receipt offering? Would you suggest i average down or take the loss? I noticed it goes ex div at month end and was thinking that the 9% dividend would be nice!
Many thanks for your input.

Q: Hope your European Vacation was a sucess.
Do you know why all the shorts are piling on Bell Alliant BA.T, would this be a reason to not buy the stock, as it is nearing it,s 52 week low, the dividend and an easy capitol gain when the shorts come off,make it look enticing. Many thanks as usual.

Q: Hi Peter and Team, regarding Renegade, RPL, your thoughts on their news release today would be greatly appreciated. You like Mr. Budd a lot and it looks as though he will be the new chairman. It seems as though they're building a new stronger Board. and hopefully a new and stonger management team. Thanks!

This is not an urgent matter so respond whenever you have time.

I'm sure you all worked very hard while in Europe...but hopefully didn't forget to play hard as well! :)

Q: Hope you folks are having a good time.
Great service BTW. The hand holding is worth the price of admission. :-)

A couple stocks that are hurting me are EXN and GFS. Both have high insider buying I know you are not high on GFS but there are no comments on EXN which kind of surprises me. . What do you think of the stock?

Thanks
Al

Q: Considering your model portfolio, would you continue to deploy new cash into it and spread it out evenly amongst the stocks (or just the winners?) or wait for the debt ceiling thing to get resolved?
