Q: Siemens (SI)has announced its intention to delist the ADRs "immediately". What impact would you expect on the stock price? Roughly how long would you expect the delisting process to take? SI states that the ADRs will become subject to a "sponsored level 1 program". What is this and does it offer any advantages to North American holders? Absent the proposed delisting would you hold or sell SI?

Q: I own CUS & CFN in my TFSA: my costs are $5.07 & $8.17 respectively. CUS is getting killed due to huge dilution of share base & problems with their expansion in AB; CFN also increased share base recently and the stock does not seem to go anywhere. I am thinking of selling these dogs and moving on-comments please.

Q: Hi team: I really appreciate the posts related to sector weightings and have been trying to take a more macro look at my holdings and see where I am over/under weight.

Based on an older post or two from you, I've created the following categories with weights, and I'm trying to determine where my holdings fall.

Materials - Gold/Silver
Materials - Other
Energy
Utilities
Cons. Discret.
Cons. Staples
Telecom
Info. Tech.
Int/Software
Industrial
Industrials - Transportation
Health Care - US
Health Care - Canada
Financials
Retail
Real Estate

We don't need to get into my specific weightings as everyone's targets will be different based on their situation. However,
I'm a little unsure where to categorise certain stocks, which isn't helping my analysis.

Can you confirm the list in general makes sense, and I'm not overlapping? If so, can you please help with the following?

AVO- you had referred to it before as an Industrial, wouldn't it fit in the Information Technology space?
MDA, GIB.A - do you consider these Info Tech, Software, or Industrial?
BAM.A - Financial or Industrial?
WIN - Financial or Info Tech, or Telecom?

Thanks!

(You have catergory groups on the right hand side for financials, metals, oil, real estate, technology already. One helpful thing, at least for me, would be to have categories for each of the areas above, so people could reference stocks in those areas when looking at their weightings. It may help reduce amount of questions like this and be a great resource for subscribers).

Q: Hi,

What is your opinion on AGF? Over 9% yield and has gotten wacked recently with poor results. Looks like they could turn this around and ride the coattails of an improving market. Is it better to stay away and stick with GS, FSZ, C etc.

Q: Peter Many thanks for your insight it brought me through this market turbulence almost unscathed. My question is with this down turn in energy stocks I would like to expand my position in energy . I currently hold 5% Sgy 5% wcp I would like to take some profits and expand my position in sgy now that is beat up.
Your thought's

Q: Hi there. I'm a brand new member as of today. I am wondering if you have an opinion on TEVA Pharmaceuticals? I took a small position a few days ago and I am down about 2%. But it seems to have broken out of a long term base. Thanks.

Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hello! I am wondering if there is a way to closely monitor disinflation? Thanks for the excellent service provided!

Q: RRX- insider selling concerns me - would a switch to LRE be wise or do you think i'm being overly concerned - what are your thoughts on LRE anyway? thanks!
