Q: Hello Folks:
Currently we have approx. 65% large cap US. stocks and the reminder a few Canadian stocks and cash. We have slowly divested ourselves of all Canadian energy producers except for a good chunk of IPL. Do you have a few particular Canadian stocks you could recommend to use up the cash. I am am hesitant about materials/energy and financials.
We are quite confused and any help you could provide is immensely appreciated. Thanks so much!

Q: Peter and team,

I have a couple follow up questions from the January 8 report on BEP.UN. The debt is high... if interest rates rise, will it sink the company or can the company continue to fund their operations without worry? Is there big margins there to absorb increased cost of debt? Are you concerned abou the debt at all?

Next question is around oil prices. You stated that oil prices shouldn't affect them at all but wouldn't low fossil fuel prices lead to cheaper energy production from fossil fuel burning plants and therefore BEP.UN would see even further decline of power production from existing assets and therefor decline in earnings due to more economic power coming on first?

I currently own Talisman and would like your opinion as I am thinking of selling Talisman at around 9.00 today and buying Whitecap WCP at just under 10.00 or hold off and wait for a higher offer for Talisman.
Thanks

Q: Genworth is down 25 percent in 6 weeks. This seems surprising for a company in its type of business. Do you think this reflects an expectation of mortgage defaults? Other explanations? Do you think it is a buy for a conservative long term investor? Thanks!

Q: I would like your opinion on Tesoro specifically, though more generally on the sector. My overall thesis is that these fuel refiners and marketers are being unfairly lumped into the oil sector in general and that overall there is little reason to think that they should suffer from lower oil prices. Do you agree or am I missing something? Thanks very much.
