Q: Would appreciate your comments on LTS, underwater big time. Is it worth hanging on to or maybe even average down. Will it survive? Leonard

Q: Hello,

I have watched Peter on BNN Market Call and look forward to his Top Picks. I am wondering if you can include a Blog regarding his Top Picks before airing. This will give a chance to active subscribers to do some research before hand and possibly take a position if it posted early. It may also be an added benefit to someone considering becoming a member as well.

Thank you

Q: Great job you are doing. Could you please tell me about this ETF, other than low volume could you give me your recommendation for a 2 year or more hold in a RSP. It would be a 3-4% holding with another US ETF, XSP, at about 5%. Do you have any other choices and why. Thanks

Q: Hello 5i
Can you give me the pros and cons of investing in funds such as those offered by donvilleKent and Stonecastle? The returns look quite good but maybe "it too good to be true".
Thanks Dave

Q: Further to Grant's question on Chemtrade, the bought deal for $100 million, with shares purchased at $21.30 each, saw the market price of shares drop from $21.92 to $21.30 ( as I write this). Can you explain why it appears that such deals tend to lower the stock price, in the short term, to the amount of the bought deal price? Thanks.

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

With my understanding that you prefer DHX over Corus CJR.B, would you still consider Corus a "hold" or, since DHX has dropped recently, would you recommend a switch to DHX.B at this time? My wife's RRSP has one position of Corus in an otherwise diversified portfolio. Or is "media" not a good place to be right now?

Thanks in advance for your timely advice.

Q: On September 15 NWH was at $10.11 and you commented that it was fine for a long term investment. Do you feel the same way at $9.38 or is there now a problem with the company?
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
I’m not happy with Canadian Oil Sands (cos) and Ensco PLC (ESV) in my portfolio and would like to sell for less volatile names. On the Canadian side I’m looking at buying Vermilion Energy (VET) or Pembina Pipeline (PPL) or possibly Enerplus Corp (ERF). On the US side Kinder Morgan (KMI) or China Petroleum & Chemical (SNP) or Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.B.

What do you think of this move and which ones are your favorites.

Thanks,

Q: What do you think of the recent bought-deal by Chemtrade, which appears to be mainly for debt repayment? Good thing or bad? I hold about a 2.5% position, for income and am considering bumping this up to 3%.

Thanks

Q: I've held this stock for the past couple of years and am pleased it's performed so well. With it having hit annual/lifetime highs is it too late to purchase more? What do you see as it's future prospects and do you plan on writing a report on it anytime?
Thanks!

Q: I hold Sylogist as 5.6% of my portfolio, with a nice healthy gain (yesterday's price) of 47.7%. (Thank you!) Having hit its all time high in the early fall at $12, it can never seem to push beyond that. Is it time to claim profits and re-assign the very healthy profits to another more growth-oriented stock, or do you foresee impending catalyst to take this stock higher?

In another semi-related matter, I find it difficult to wrap my mind around what is termed "Book Value". I assumed that Book Value meant the price you paid for the stock, factoring in the trading fees, for a net purchase value. I notice, however, that Book Value fluctuates, from week to week. Am I going cross-eyed, or is there a logical explanation for the floating values? Excuse my naivety on this one, but I'm honestly perplexed. Thanks, as always, for your valuable comments.
