Q: Hi Peter - I really like your website; enjoy reading the member questions and your answers - very informative.
After reading the blog about maintenance of portfolios, I have two questions.
With a portfolio of $100,000, would the ideal number of stocks still be 20? And with my ACQ (AutoCanada) and STN (Stantec) becoming a larger percentage - would you still trim these or let them run up a bit?
Thank you

Q: Hi, to what extent are the businesses of McCoy (MCB), Badger (BAD), and Black Diamond (BDI) similar to Horizon North Logistics (HNL)and to what extent could they face a similar setback to HNL. IS HNL's setback an early warning of what might happen to energy services companies in general or is it a one off? Thanks..

Q: Hi Peter,
I'm down 14% with HNL. This is my first significant negative holding of 5i recommendations and I don't know what to do (HNL is 10% of my portfolio). Should I sell or hold?

Q: Mr. Hodson,kindly consider the following. Any long time investor usually receives all kinds of offers by email. One I just received comes from Paul Tracy, Chief Strategist,StreetAuthority's Top 10 Stocks, Co-Founder, StreetAuthority. After listening, patiently, to a lengthy voice presentation, the offer is available (but only when on the verge of quitting) as a 22-page document. It looks pretty convincing and boasts its Top 10 Stocks annual list trounced the overall market 7 out of 9 years up to 2011 (2012 results haven't been finalized yet). The offer is for a subscription at 99$ per year to a bunch of publications, with a special introductory price of 39.95$ per year, with the possibility of cancelling the subscription before the 30 days is up (and keeping the reports sent, free of charge). Is this, in your view, analogous to a scam or at least all glitter and no substance ? I just read your article this morning in the Financial Post (Old lessons still ring true), and while this is not comparable, your message about being cautious is not lost on me.
