Q: Hi Peter and Team,

In our grandchildren's RESP (ages 15 and 16) I have been using accumulated dividends to 'top up' the above ETFs, as I'm able to do so commission-free through Scotia iTrade. The portfolio is balanced, with the majority of holdings from the 5i portfolios. Can you suggest a strategy as to which ETF(s) I should invest this extra cash at any given time? Since the 16-year-old is in grade eleven, and the 15-year-old is in grade ten, is it safer to use CLF and/or CBO, even though their charts don't look so great, as compared to CDZ and CUD?

Thanks in advance for your valued advice.

Q: I am a trader by obligation rather than by choice as I spend an important part of my time trading micro caps.
For obvious reasons these companies mostly have little or none revenues, expectations is all what is left.
However, there is another way of being sensitive to the balance sheet is expenses, and i am particularly sensitive to burn rates because that may be a key to future share offering with or without the dreaded warrant.
I just read this document: http://avc.com/2017/09/some-thoughts-on-burn-rates/?utm_source=Daily+AR&utm_campaign=871270e2bd-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c08a59015d-871270e2bd-140326233
Would you give me your opinion on its value for future reference.
Thanks
CDJ

Q: I bought PGF and BTE on a big dip in April and neglected to sell on the multiple dips after that..... The recent rally has me back to a less painful loss. What the hell is causing this rally? I will likely sell once this level off but the fundamentals just don't seem to support the influx of money into these highly leveraged companies. I had written it off as dead money for the next few years and lesson learned ( again) to sell when you call momentum wrong. Not an analyst on the planet has oil going up to numbers that BTE and PGF need to cover their dept let alone make a profit in the next 12-18 months. So I guess my question is what is driving this rally in highly leverage energy stocks.

Q: NWL has declined sharply in recent weeks due to (1) Hurricane Harvey on its U.S. manufactured resin businesses, and (2) bankruptcy proceeding of Toys R Us, which NWL is one of their top suppliers. NWL has issued revised 2017 guidance due to the impact of Harvey but, in my opinion, it's not material. Is the selloff overblown? Is it a good entry point now, or is it catching a falling knife? Welcome your thoughts. Thank you.

Q: Hello. I hold some esidemtial real estate personally but in my stock portfolio I only hold HR.UN which has performed ok but not great. Am thinking that it may be time to move on from it. If you could hold one REIT what would it be. Considering CsH.UN but open to other suggestions. Only hesitation on HR.UN is that I like the yield
