Q: Hi Peter,

Thanks for the great service.

The Gold sector seems to be recovering. As I look at the charts for the companies, one seems to stand out as having had less impact during the fall from $1,900-odd to $1,200-odd. It has a small dividend and is participating in the recent rise. It is Franco-Nevada (FNV-T). Given that those companies that get beaten up the least during tuff times tend to be the leaders in a recovery, is this a company you would recommend ? Are there other that you favour more ?

Thanks !!!!!

Q: Please provide your opinion on HWD.Consider to buy next few days.THANKS.Peter

Q: Is AGYS (Agilyssys Inc) a buy after a but of a pull back

Q: do u think coal is a good buy and what company thanku so much for all your advise. and are corporate bonds a good investment

Q: re IVW on TSE. I bought into IVW some time ago to find a way to lever into Chinese car production and electric bicycle batteries. The company seems to have gotten past a very unlucky few years and I am prepared to load up some more with stocks I believe in. To add to some more due diligence I believe Peter might know some of the key players esp Trevor Eaton and Wayne Richardson. They have had dealings with Sprott. What are your thoughts on their capabilities and fraternity of mining folks who I have always believed is nothing more than a self interest group. Perhaps not on the scale of the energy sector but I always am sceptical by policy. The Chinese transportation sector is juicy but difficult to lever into, hence my interest in lead.

Q: Good morning 5i, What is your latest opinion on sandstorm metals (SND).
Thanks.

Q: HI Peter
I am up 140% on IFP.A (4.7% of portfolio) and 102% on CFP (3.8% of portfolio. Are there any changes in the sector that suggest taking profit at this time? IFP just purchased a Georgia forest company,Ilim Timber ($130 cash plus 3.68 million shares). Do you expect they will need to make a new issue to finance this and if so would the resulting dilution be a reason to sell at this time?
Thanks,
Murray

Q: Hi Si group. Really need some good investment ideas, choices, recommendations as I am creating a new TFSA for our four grandchildren, ages 2 to 9 years. Will invest initially about $1300.00 per child. Would like those investments/equities to have potential growth, reasonably good financials, as they will be long term holds, with some dividends in the future. The sectors is not critical in our evaluation. Thank you for your fine work on previous questions. This is an great service and insigt for the investment public. Keep up the stanard you have started. Many thanks, Jim

Q: Have you ever looked at the company Verisante ( VRS-X)which makes a medical device for the early detection of cancer. I owned it its early launch days but got out. Like lots of venture companies it has fallen quite a bit but I can't help but think it has a product that is very valuable with an aging population.

Q: What Canadian energy producers do you like? Am looking for some diversification within the industry. These can be oil, or gas producers, senior or mid cap. Keep up the great work! Am learning lots daily.

Q: Re: Questrade and Don's request, I signed on with them four years ago when they were perennially the Globe's # 1 rated online broker. No regrets. Their transaction pricing is slightly higher than what I pay with the junior 1/3 of my portfolio at CIBC but Questrade's portfolio analysis and research is first rate and worth a few extra bucks per year. Not a single website crash and on the infrequent occasion when I have needed them customer service was top notch.

Q: Since dumping my mutual funds last spring I have purchased the following with focus on growth and some income. I am not overweight in any of the stocks and have plenty of time to manage the portfolio. All are full positions except as indicated. Could you please review the list and indicate if there is any redundancy, any deletions or addtions I should make? Thank you.
