Q: With Gold doing so well right now, can you explain the sharp drop in share price for XAU over the last week. Is it worth holding or if I want more "Gold" should I sell XAU and pick another gold stock at the appropriate time?

Thanks.

Q: Hello, following up from my last question...I was referring to WFC (Well Fargo and Company), I'm not sure why Wall Financial showed up. Also I was asking about HTB (US 7-10 yr Treasuries) With the US bond and WFC equity in the portfolio, is this too much equity risk? Thank you.

Q: I know you have mentioned that CXR has gone down with Valeant and that the fundamentals are still good. Yes they have debt but a lot of free cash flow to pay it down. But this stock just continues to fall, to ridiculously low prices. There was also another Seeking Alpha report posted today bashing the company.At what level would you say investors should get out of it, if it continues on this path?

Q: I own some of Sherritt bonds that matures in 2018. Would you agree that the probability of this proposal to succeed is very high? What does this mean to the chances of the company survival? Would you recommend taking the consent incentive in money or in warrants? Would it advisable to add to my holding of this bond? My holding is insignificant as a percentage of my total portfolio. Are bondholders entitled to receive the maturity value on maturity date, or would that force the company to file for protection because it might not be able to meet their obligation?

Thanks.

Q: I am retired and have several dividend stocks. I'm a recent member to 5i research and am looking at adding AW.UN and ECI from your income portfolio. They have increased in price since you put them in the portfolio. Is it still advisable to purchase them at the current price or could you suggest a maximum price point for purchase? I plan to hold them for a few years.

Q: I note that TD Securities have today recommended Teck Resources as a Buy at $15.32. The 12 month target price is $17.00 and the stock is rated as "High Risk". With all respect, it's difficult to feel comfortable with this type of recommendation.
Am I missing something?

Q: Norbord is down nicely, no doubt with the general market. However they do have exposure to Great Briton. I am not concerned with the impact on the OSB market but the Pound will certainly affect the profitability. At $25.00, do you think it is a good time to take a partial postion on them at this time?
