Q: Hi Peter and Team, could you please provide your thoughts on the Whitecap, WCP, news release today and how you think the stock will react in the morning at market open? Any ideas who they acquired from? Will Novus, NVS, by any chance re-act positively to this news release? Thanks!

Q: Hi team:Please ignore my question about the rated returns I have found another printout which clearly explains that the minus returns are the d to F rated companies.
I would like an update on CSS. I paid $12.51. It is $10.90. You would have told "us" if there was anything to know, I am sure, but is this just a buying opportunity? Why did trading stop on WCP today? Trading usually does not stop because they made an acquisition if that's what happened.
Thanks so much. Jean

Q: Peter. Last June, you provided some information on the investment merits of COA. Wondered if you could comment on how you see it now. Many thanks. Ken

Q: Hi Peter, is there anything changed re: MCR. it is dropping like a rock. Should I sell or hold?

Q: Peter what's your view on the Canadian banks - many articles recently on the risks facing the banks - housing bubble, debt levels etc - so far at least, the banks don't appear to have gotten the message that they should be going down - what are your thoughts in general - thanks in advance for your feedback.

Q: what is your opinion on the amaya earnings. dave

Q: Re: ECI
Hi Peter. Do you know anything about Ford Equity Research? They came out this morning with a Strong Sell on Enercare. It's very rare that anyone puts out such a negative recommendation on a stock so I am wondering if this is a credible institution. I own ECI and see no reason not to continue. Thank you and kind regards.

Q: In a recent reply, you mentioned that our Oil & Gas holdings, were too high, at 16% of our total investments. One of these is Baytex, which I bought in both my TFSA and our Joint account for its dividend and growth. It has been a great disappointment with an 11.5% loss to date. Is the dividend safe? Should I hold it for eventual recovery? Or should I sell? We also have CPG which is similarly down, plus HSE, CVE and KEY. Thoughts?

Q: Hello - Do you have an opinion on the ishares S&P U.S. Preferred share ETF (PFF)? I am interested in acquiring a small position for my RSP. It has a current yield of 5.7% but is also heavily weighted in U.S. diversified financials and banks. Comments are appreciated. Joe

Q: Peter; No complaints but have you seen any news on MDF to account for the jump today and it's usual low volume .? Thanks.Rod

Q: MX, would you buy at current pricce? I have been watching this one for a while and it is clear that perhaps I should have bght it a while ago? I would buy for a short term hold due to commodity risk. Where would I go to track commodities on a daily basis?
Thank you..JP

Q: I have been following a trust company srv.un sir royalty trust would appreciate your thoughts thanks

Q: have quite a large amount of vip.un in my riff account for years. should I keep it?

Q: I continue to track Symbility (TSXV: SY). Management continues to execute well by consistently beefing up their client list at a staggering pace. Most recently, they signed with a major UK insurer. Do you think this is a good entry point now that a major client seems to back their product?

Q: Hi Peter, I recently read an article about Sierra Wireless TSX SW. Have you ever reported on Sierra Wireless?

Q: Hi guys,

Your service is unbeatable! I appreciate your insight and perspective on investing. I was a Peak Oil / resource guy when I first started investing 7 years ago and never thought my portfolio would be taking turns it has in the last 2 years. I have 500 PEY shares between my RRSP and TSFA and it's had a good run and I'm thinking about selling it. I like PEY, but think value it's a tad high. What do you think about flipping PEY 2 other companies, 1 in my TSFA and 1 in my RRSP?

In my RRSP I'm thinking about starting a position in HCG or SAP or...? In myTSFA I'm thinking about starting starting a position in Telus or...?

I currently own RY, TD, BNS, CN, IPL.UN, AD, AP.UN, COS, AX.UN, BNP, BEP, BIP, PEY, CSU, EIF, THI, KMP and CFN all about equal weight and a few others smaller ones that I hope to clean up over the year.

Thank you!

Brent
