Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi Peter,

Niko is back to where it started with all the good news boost completely wiped out. My average cost is pretty high and unfortunately I had amassed a much bigger position against your advice of max 5% allocation in any company. Should I trim/liquidate my position or keep holding on and hope for good exploration results. What would be possible impact of a bad result of exploration considering they have so many other positives recently. Thanks

Q: Hi Peter:
I bought some HCG at around 53 while the hedge fund managers were shorting this stock
It has recovered nicely and today, it went up again nicely

Where do one find the volume of short positions on this stock?
I made a nice profit, I am tempted to exit or the momentum of HCG is real? pays a small dividend too! Thanks for recommending this stock!

Q: re Saad question
My wife entered the market for the first time in march 2009 with a full service broker.
A performance review lately showed a profit of 16%, not per year, for the entire period. The broker was VERY proud of the performance...
I have been looking for a broker for the better part of the past 15 years for my own portfolio, fired one and WAS fired by another one, gave up and manage everything myself. Peter entry in the retail investor world void of real/unbised information has been a breath of fresh air and provide a much needed support. But I think I still have to do my homework.

Q: Peter and Team,

Here is a question about bonds. Let's say you buy bonds of a major Canadian, credit-worthy company that mature in 2015. Let's also say that interest rates keep backing up (thinking of US 10 year) way past everyone's expectations during that time.

Is it correct to assume that, while the value of the bond you are holding goes down in the market, you get all of your money back at the maturity date in 2015? Therefore, if you hold to maturity and the company is still around, the back up in interest rates does not hurt your capital invested?

Thanks... let me know if that didn't make sense.

Q: Hi Peter:
In my on-RRSP portfolio, I have some money in XRE and some
Reits and the Canadian banks, BCE, and the pipelines

I still have some cash to be invested and I am looking for
a steady source of income (age around 60); for this purpose
someone give me a suggestion:
1) CPD a prefer ETF
2) XDV (it generates dividends)
3) a floating rate prefer ETF (I could not find the symbol)
4) BMO covered call utilities
5) BMO covered call banks ZWB

How would you compare to the above when I put the 5 investmensts in the
ETF XTR ? (it has bonds in it)

Thanks!
