Q: Hi Team, I did a bit of research as to why NBD & ANS prices are going down, if you are not aware of this here is a government link that talks about soft lumber prices dropping since the peak in April (http://cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/selective-cuttings/43).
Hope this clears up a bit why stocks are down...
Continue your great work.

Q: Hi Peter and team,
One of the first companies I ever bought when I started investing 7 years ago was Canadian Oil Sands - now with oil hitting $100 I'm thinking about selling it for something with more growth. I want something that pays a decent, rising dividend. I'm leaning towards adding to my ESL, HCG or starting a position in CGX.

I currently own AD, AP.UN, AX.UN, BNP, BNS, BEP.UN, BIP.UN, CNR, COS, CSU, CFN, EIF, ESL, HCG, IPL.UN, KMP, PEY, RY, TD, THI, TOT and Telus all about equal weight. My 2 dogs are Penn West and Longview that I hope to clean up over the year.

Thank you for your valuable service!!
Brent

Q: I own shares in Galvanic Applied Sciences (TSXV:GAV). Last Friday the Company got a takeover offer for $1.70 per share. Apparently the buyer(s)have locked up over 67% of GAV shares. For the last two years, GAV is on $17M revenue run earning 0.22-0.23 in earnings. GAV has over $10.5M in cash/near cash and no debt. The Company has only 15.7M shares out. This offer appears to me like joke, a bad joke. Do you agree?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

With the Renewable Energy Developers, RDZ, being acquired by Capstone Infrastructure Corporation. Would now be a good time to buy RDZ at current prices to capture the dividend increase that comes with it? or should one just buy Capstone?

Q: Good afternoon,
I really appreciate your question and answer service. However a few people (hello Edward!) seem to expect you to be their personal portfolio manager. Not only does this put you in a difficult position, but it renders their questions rather pointless for the rest of your readers. Have you considered discouraging this type of query?

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
I am struggling a little finding an equity growth or dividend ETF to hold in a RRSP account. One to cover US equities and one to cover CDN financials. I am looking at something like VIG,VYM or VTI but is listed on the TSE. Was looking at VCE to cover the CDN financials. Any comments or alternate suggestions in these categories would be appreciated.
Thanks again,
Paul

Q: What does Magna's 'Automatic Share Purchase Plan' mean to the ordinary investor?

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/news-sources/?date=+20130628&archive=cnw&slug=C4361#dashboard/follows/

It seems like they are trying to mitigate any downside risk by creating a support level for their share price (ie. buy it back if they value gets too cheap), is that the gist of it?

I have been debating Magna vs. Martinrea for a couple of months now. Magna seems safer but due for a small correction, Martinrea seems to have more upside potential, what would you buy today and what would you estimate for a holding period? My profile = not afraid of riskier plays if the appreciation potential justifies the additional risk, I can hold a stock for 12 months to 12 years, thanks team!
