Q: hello Peter and 51 team,
We enjoyed reading Peter's editorial in the January Money saver. He makes a point that your portfolio should be well diversified, has a cash cushion, and has gotten rid of the loser companies. We are well diversified, and have a cash portion. We have 2 losers that we haven't sold yet. Our question is should we sell Cenovus and Cannacord genuity? What would be a better alternative.
thank you

Q: Can you provide an analysis of Cascade (CAS) and whether at the current price it is a buy for 3 year plus hold? Would you recommend larger competitor? I've been watching it hit 52 week highs now for a number of months and rebounded yesterday. Thanks again and again - john

Q: My portfolio is overweight in Financials and feel I need to reduce over time. Wells Fargo has provided good returns but I am thinking there is more upside with BNS and TD over the long term.
I am planning to sell my position in WFC and move to a different sector in US$. Perhaps the Consumer Discretionary or Industrial sectors. Your thoughts.

Q: I made money on this when it was over $50, and now, after a positive report from the company, it has been dropping like a stone to about $22. I still believe rail will do well, and most of its business is in the US, so maybe now is time to take a half position?

Q: Hi there

You answered a question yesterday about OSL.un Onex Credit Partners and said that it might be down because of overall economic outlook and "we would hope to see this one be stronger over a 3 year timeframe." I own OSC.Un which is a similar security I believe and is also down considerably. I am wondering what to do with this fixed income security. I would gladly hold if there is some chance that it might recover somewhat over a few years as I get a good dividend. Are your views similar on this security that if credit markets get better then OCS.Un should recover? A couple of related questions - are the loses in NAV reflecting a ongoing payout of capital and/or permanent impairments or more just a lower pricing of current assets. I would think that with the cash generated by loans that OCS.Un would be able to buy debt at pennies on the dollar?

Thanks
