Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
As you can see MND just reported its Production and Sales Report for 4thQ. The stock fell today 2.2% while the whole sector had a very good day. Does this mean that there 4thQ financial report will probably not meet expectation? So the investors are disappointed and there may be a reasonable price dip? If so would that present a buying opportunity? Please give your current assessment of MND in light of this report.
Thanks for your superb service...

Q: Hello,

Over the past several years I have put together an adhoc portfolio with the following allocation:

ZEO (oil) %4
GIB.A %36
GILD %11
VOO %27
VSP %9
VIG %13

My goal overall is to build a long term growth portfolio (25-30 years) with some stocks mixed in. Any recommendations on how or if I should re-balance this? In your opinion is there anything I should move away from or that may be missing from this portfolio that I should add for long term growth? (ex. emerging markets or a global equity market index ETF).

If so, you could please provide a couple I should consider? I have a lump sum that I plan to contribute to the portfolio over the next 60 days.

Thank-you very much in advance!

Q: How is CEF.A valued? Is it just the number of ounces of metals times the current price of gold or silver to arrive at a NAV? Today CEF.A trades at 7.2% discount to NAV and I'm trying to determine if this is a good buy....or not. How can it pay a divvy, as tiny as it is? Any chance of your expert advice in blog form? The root of these questions is that I would like to hold some physical gold, this fund seems a easy way to do that but I do not understand the "under the hood" part. Their website is vague also. Thanks for your insight. Ron

Q: Hello Peter,
Your decision to sell IT took me by surprise. After holding it for nearly two years through short attacks and volatility, you have decided to give up on it just when things seem to be falling in place, with the awaited catalyst and an upward momentum. What has changed?
Is the valuation that was earlier considered cheap at this price is not cheap today? Has the growth slowed? Or is the financing and cash flow not good enough? Do you anticipate IT to trade at even lower multiple in London?

I would appreciate if you could give your opinion on the questions above. In addition , any further elaboration on your decision will be appreciated.
Regards.

Q: Today's Financial Post has an article "American Apparel LLC said it had started to lay off staff on Monday, after Canadian apparel maker Gildan Activewear Inc withdrew its initial plan to acquire some of the bankrupt U.S. fashion retailer’s manufacturing operations."

Going forward, do you think this will affect the stock price which already seems to be on a downward trajectory?

Is there now a "Trump Effect" with some Canadian companies that have a sizeable US footprint like Gildan, among others?

Thanks in advance for the timely advice.
