Q: I was talking to Peter at the Money Show along and so were many others. I put in limit orders and would it be a good thing if I put the limit order for more than one day? Asking about a couple of my holdings SYZ has large daily swings of almost 10% - is this indicating something? DEE (Delphi) has been in a downwards trend about the biggest downward trend of the resource sector and I noticed some negative news on it on October 23 and it escalated the fall. Is there any hope for this security?

Q: Hello Peter
The recent stock prices decline has given me an idea to open new portfolio "an exceptionally concentrated portfolio" that I found idea in your 5i Research Blog from July 20,2014.
Please give to me your 5 best at this time candidates for this type of portfolio that one can double down on them.
Thanks Andrew B.

Q: It looks like chances of energy stocks coming back in a few months are very low,do you agree?.Gold stocks have perhaps bottom out,which gold stocks are worth buying after gold corp.Is kinros at $3.00 a buy?.

Q: What do you think about a RME and CVL vs ACQ for a long term BUY (5yrs)?

ACQ is roughly UP 40% on a YEAR CHART vs RME & CVL DOWN roughly 20%.

I have looked at basic ratios.

P/E RME 14%, CVL 14% ACQ 30%
YIELD RME 4.1% CVL 4.5% ACQ 1.5%
PAYOUT RME 54% CVL 77% ACQ 44%
GR MARGINRME 13.8% CVL 18% ACQ 17%
ROE RME 9.27% CVL 9% ACQ 21%
DEBT/EQ RME 24% CVL 38% ACQ 141%

To me looks like AGRI is the low side of a cycle and why it is a laggard right now compared to increasing high cars sales in Canada.

Can you give me your thoughts on RME and CVL vs ACQ?

Thank you
Regards

Q: Which one would be your preferred choice in the restaurant casual dining space, Boston Pizza or A&W? It looks like the cash flow is not covering the A&W dividend.

Q: I'm fairly well diversified with your model portfolio stocks but I do take on some fliers for some spice. I see you occasionally sell down on stocks that go up and buy up on stocks that are down. I think you do this for companies that you rate as good investments only. My question is does this strategy apply to more speculative stocks as well. I guess in my mind I view these speculative ventures as a partitioned subset of my portfolio. For example I'm well up with Concordia CXR but I'm down with Questor QST, Enterprise ESI and C-Com CMI. Should I sell some CXR and buy some of the others? Or should I just leave these all alone as speculative ventures that were one time good ideas and sell when I think I've had enough keeping in mind reasonable weighting.
