Q: Hi Peter and Staff,

Love your service ! Have recommended it to my investment club.

Equities are down today. The "correction" is here - and may provide buying opportunities.

My question. I am a believer in seasonality and DRIP programs. One of the most significant recurring seasonal events is the best six months of the market to be in (Late October - Early May).

For a long term buy-and-hold strategy, would it not make sense to participate in automatic DRIP's during the worst 6 months (forced buying during seasonal dips), and leave the DRIP programs and bank the dividends during the best six months, and then use the accumulated cash to re-balance/purchase on good days (like today).

Thanks !

Q: Hello, as with all gold stocks, MND has been on a downward slide. Do you think this company will recover when the sector turns around?

I'm considering selling and cutting my losses. I bought in @ 1.14?

Should I sell or keep losing my hair and stick it out?? :)

Thanks as always.
