Q: Hi 5i,
I have 3 out of 3 dissappointments bot jun 18th wks ago.
DSG just announced dilution at $13.50. current price $15.04(dwn 4%). I got the impression you did not like companies that do this.
SGY down 4%
AVO down 11%
It's nice when you quote a 35% gain in your portfolio but that hasn't help my results to date.
I would have appreciated the advice that the market has outrun itself & Jun 18th was a time of wait, not buy.
What can u tell me that is realistic about these three underperformers & when I might expect to see something more like the 35% returns you tout in your model portfolio.

Q: HI Peter. My question is how big do you plan to take this newsletter? I hope that you stick with quality over quantity. Better to have fewer great stocks to watch than a lot of sosos. Thanks, and keep up the good work. It will pay off for us all in the end. Cheers, John Dufresne, L'Orignal, Ont.

Q: Hello,

This is kind of a follow up of a previous question. In my RRSP I have the following ETFs: ZRE, XRB, VBK, VCN, VDY, VXUS and XSB.
I would like to replace XSB (around 30K) with something that provides more growth. I was thinking an energy basket, either an ETF or 2-4 energy (related) stocks.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you
Marios

Q: Hi Peter & team. I would like your views on RON.PR.A. I realize that the company has been struggling for the past few years, which may explain the price of these preferred shares. I like the fact that it is a reset type. Do you think it represents good value? Do you think it is too risky in a well diversified portfolio, where the weighting would be less than 2% overall? My other preferred holdings are HPR, EQB.PR.A and CF.PR.A. Thanks again.

Q: Hi,
I prefer to buy my stocks on pull backs, instead of at 52 week highs, mostly to protect my downside, all other things being equal. I recently held my nose, and bought Delphi Energy, DEE.TO and am more or less even, today I bought Bellatrix, BXE.TO, on the pullback, figuring we may have bottomed.
My question is, continue to hold both, or sell my full position of DEE.TO and add to my BXE.TO to make it a full position.
These are my only Nat. Gas positions, and my only Oil position is a full position in Surge.
Many Thanks

Q: Let's visit a micro-cap and out of the mainstream stock like Danier Leather (TSX: DL).

You mentioned a couple years back that this is a company waiting to go private. I see that the company is indeed paying back stock ever single year (and has less than 3 million shares outstanding in circulation). Is this a buy on the possibility that it goes private?

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
Palliser Oil and Gas (PXL) has been unsuccessful in finding enough oil before the money ran out. It is such a low valuation now (.12)would you recommend selling or waiting another quarter or two? I hold 3000 shares (.09% of portfolio).
