Q: I currently own G in a non-RRSP and it is the only gold stock that I own. Would you recommend a sale on this stock for tax loss purposes that can be off set with a capital gain of another stock? Would you be a buyer of any gold stock at this time?

Thanks
Dolores

Q: I bought it in Feb. 2015 at $85 only to see low of $67 in the summer. I am still holding it, but ... what are the prospects of recovering and going to $85-$90 ? I read that the high US $ is hurting their EPS because lots of their products are sold in overseas locations, any light at the end of the tunnel ?

Q: Hello Peter & Team,

I did very well with SPY (now BKD) when I bought it in Feb around $0.34 and sold it in May @ $0.61. I've continued to track it and noticed the article at the beginning of this week mentioning their new app for Yahoo Fantasy which allows fantasy Players to automatically get updates on their players without looking them up individually.

Fantasy is huge and only getting bigger. I play fantasy football and their application is a very handy idea.

At $0.24 today which is up 25% since last week, would you consider BKD a sell, hold or buy at this time? And is there anything else I should know before re-entering a position?

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: The Globe had a link to an article that described US shale oil producers as facing a "debt bomb" due to low oil prices, declining cash flow and high debt. The article predicts a serious meltdown in the first half of 2016. My question relates to the impact this could have on US banks? My ETF has been doing ok, and I expect banks to be favoured by rising interest rates. I suppose this question could be extended to other commodity areas and Canadian banks as well. Do you see significant risk in banking in the near term due to debt failure? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Gang,

I currently have positions in CSU and GIB.A and they represents 2.5% and 3.5% of my portfolio respectively. My gains on CSU are approximately 220% and I am thinking of liquidating my entire CSU position and put the proceeds on DH (I'll stay put on GIB.A). Just wondering what your thoughts are on this move.

On November 17, in your response to a question raised by a 5i member on DH, you commented that the stock was 14x earning, is this ratio still accurate?

Regards,
Harry

If possible, could you please comment on creditworthiness, safety of pref dividends and payout ratio if possible. Would you recommend it for very safe income. Thanks.
