Q: Hi Peter and Staff,

Love your service ! Have recommended it to my investment club.

Equities are down today. The "correction" is here - and may provide buying opportunities.

My question. I am a believer in seasonality and DRIP programs. One of the most significant recurring seasonal events is the best six months of the market to be in (Late October - Early May).

For a long term buy-and-hold strategy, would it not make sense to participate in automatic DRIP's during the worst 6 months (forced buying during seasonal dips), and leave the DRIP programs and bank the dividends during the best six months, and then use the accumulated cash to re-balance/purchase on good days (like today).

Thanks !

Q: Hello, as with all gold stocks, MND has been on a downward slide. Do you think this company will recover when the sector turns around?

I'm considering selling and cutting my losses. I bought in @ 1.14?

Should I sell or keep losing my hair and stick it out?? :)

Thanks as always.

Q: I'm down 8% on ZUT during this latest sell-off. Do you feel this latest sell-off in utilities and interest sensitive stocks was overdone or is there more pain coming?

What sectors would benefit from higher interest rates and inflation?

Q: Hi Peter and team,
I have been following Premium Brands for a while now. I like the juicy dividend yield on this one, yet the payout ratio is still quite reasonable. I already have plenty of financials, telcos, etc. in my dividend portfolio. Would Premium Brands be a good addition as a means to diversify my holdings? Many thanks.

Q: I have been put in the situation of looking after the financial affairs of an elderly couple both are 79 and their health is not the best at most they have 5 years left. Should he pass first her income will be $35,000, presently it is about $70,000 (these amounts include CPP, OAS, RIF, and other pensions). They will have $350K cash after the sale of their condo, plus another $200K with cash and RIF's. I feel if I were to follow your model portfolio if would meet their needs and would strike a good balance. If you have any suggestions I am always willing to listen.

Thank you
