Q: Hello Peter,
I am a fan of Wi-lan but once again they have had Patent's rejected by the courts. Today they are down over 8%. You said on BNN that getting info out of this company is difficult. Was just wondering if you still like what's happening at WIN and are they a company you would hold the course and do you think their recent partnerships make them a growth company.
I have shares of Shoppers Drug Mart (SC) which are up by about 26% today because of the news regarding the merger with Loblaws. What should I do with my SC shares? Should I sell, or do nothing? Will SC continue to be listed on the TSX?
Q: ZWB versus Bank of Nova Scotia for my Dad, my kids RESP or myself. The banking portion of a
healthy 90 year old's well balanced successful portfolio, wouldn't mind some cash flow and to maintain initial investment. Well balanced RESP, 1/2 is laddered bonds, will need the funds in 2-7 years, have 12.5% in ZWB, should it change to BNS? For myself, 15 years before I need cash, well balanced portfolio - ZWB vs BNS?
Q: Hi All, at what point within your followed stocks would you sell to take profits? Is there a price increase (%) that would trigger selling? Do you ever suggest a sell to subscribers at a particular point or is it strictly buy a name and hold indefinitely? As time goes on subscribers would be buying names at various different entry points and obviously have different sell points...is there a good rule to follow?
Q: Twin Butte Energy [TBE]. I read where TD has reduced TBE to a "HOLD", whatever that means, and reduced its target price from $3.25 to $2.25 which is a significant drop at one shot. Could I have your comments on this firm?
Thanks,
Ron
Q: TBE Twin Buttes is getting clobbered today. It seems to happen often and then recovers somewhat. Serial disappointer! How serious is it this time do you think?
Q: Twin Butte has taken quite the hit today. As of writing, it's down 17%. Is this sell-off justified and is TBE worth a look at these levels? Thank you and kind regards.
Q: Hi There
For an addition to the oil and gas section of my diversified, income with some growth, retirement portfolio would you prefer WCP over SGY or vice versa or perhaps neither? I already hold FRU, ALA, CPG and VET.
Thanks as always.
All gold related issues are basically no bid. To me, this is a time to go shopping. I have held off and I dont have much exposure the sector. I do not know how to start and what to look at.
I would think a manager would add value to a sector mandate? Is this the case? I am thinking of RBC precious metals.
Alternatively, I would go for an ETF such as ZJG-to or GDX.
My other thoughts would be to look at some stream companies. FNV or SSL. Even SLW would do. This would be a more conservative way to play the sector. I do feel the real value is in the miners (kinross is down 80%!). Usually you see that when they is an accounting issue or bankruptacy in the near term. I am somewhat analysis paralasis`at the moment.
