Q: Thanks Peter and group for the valuable information you provide. What are your thoughts on Strategic Oil & Gas (SOG)? I own a position from earlier this year when the share price was 20% higher. It has since been on a gradual decline, and I am thinking of taking a loss and move on. Is there any reason to think that it might recover anytime soon?

Q: Hi
What do you think of Wellpoint for a buy right now. The only US stock I have right now is Emerson (EMR). Would a US healthcare ETF be better way to go? If so what would it be? Thanks

Thanks very much.

Q: I have owned Crescent Point CPG since 2008. I have been happy with the gains I originally made along with the nice monthly dividend. I think it is time to sell it given the rather poor performance that last few years. What would you suggest to replace it in this space? I don't have any other oil producers in my portfolio, just some pipelines. Joe

Q: Hi Peter ,
Any thoughts on Northern Dynasty (NDM) now that Anglo America has pulled out of the Pebble partnership? NDM now owns 100% of the project and realized the benefit of Anglo spending $541 million on it over the last 5 years. With the massive deposit of 81 billion pounds of copper and 107 million ounces of gold as well as molybdenum what is the probability of NDM making a new deal, perhaps with Rio Tinto who currently owns 19% of NDM?
I know its a junior and the resource sector stinks but may this be a good entry point for a patient investor?
Thanks.

Q: Timbercreek Mortgage Investment Corp. (TMC) will be converting their Class A Shares to a new voting class of Common Shares. I have the option of receiving the new shares or to receive a cash redemption for my Class A Shares equal to the Net Redemption Value (NRV).
According to Timbercreek's web site the NRV for Class A Shares is $9.33 (minus 6 to 9 cents in costs) (as of Sept 23/13). My TMC shares are in a RSP account,are $600 below book value & presently pay a 7% dividend. Do you have any thoughts on whether I should hold onto the shares or accept the cash redemption if the present NRV is to be believed? Thanks.
