Q: Good afternoon, I had moved everything to cash, believing that we were overdue for a bit of a correction, and also because I did quite well on atd and ccl. . Do you think a correction will occur when the honeymoon is over with Trump? I know no-one has a crystal ball, but do you think it is likely? If no, would you be content with the above choices for a moderate risk? I plan to keep my US in cash for now.
Thanks as always.

Q: I hold HCG and MFA in TFSAs at 1.4 and 1.8 percent, respectively, of my & my husband's total portfolio. (combined calculation as recommended by 5i!) They are both down close to 30% since I bought them. Given their percentages, should I just leave them, or should I take my loss in one or both, and move on? Thanks for your help and support.
Q: Hi Peter and Team,
What is your view on Baytex Energy buying production assists in the Peace River Region of N. Alberta in a deal worth 65 m?
Is it positive or negative in terms of their operations and financial status. To my understanding their debt level is high.
Your comments appreciated.

Q: Greetings and best wishes to all. I have a small position in Niocorp (NB. I like the companies project, but I do not know enough about the industry to know if they can successfully develop the property by themselves.

Q: Further to my previous FYI post re ENERCARE and your response (thanks!).
I have since received a response directly from Enercare indicating that "they are building cash to deploy in their regular growth program (to build out the rentals and also the sub-metering business). It’s not necessarily to pay down debt in the short-term."
This just for further clarification directly from the company. To me this is better than issuing new shares directly into the market as it rewards current Shareholders with the 5.0% discount which to my knowledge is a fairly generous discount as compared to other discounts in the 2% - 3-% range.

Q: With reference to the new DRIP that was instituted. In your response you thought it was to pay down debt. The dividend was raised 16% in early 2015. If paying down debt was the priority why approve the raise in the first place. Is this new program indicative of a change in managements assessment of the company. Seems to be confusing signals. What would your take be on this move.
As always your considered opinion is greatly appreciated.

Q: I would like to add a growth stock to my TFSA. Looking at your growth portfolio I narrowed it down to one of SHOP, KXS, DBO, PLI, TNC or ZCL. In today's environment which one of these six stocks would you add? I am relatively diversified across all sectors, so sector is not an issue at this time.
I was originally leaning towards either SHOP or KXS. If you didn't select one of these from the six stocks listed above, which one out of these two would you pick?
The funds to purchase the growth stock will come from the sale of IPL or WCP in my TFSA. Of these two which would you sell to get the funds for the growth stock? p.s. I also own IPL and WCP in a non-registered account and plan to keep those.

Q: On Nov.22 James asked you a question about gains of $200,000 vs loses of $50,000. He wondered if he should be concerned with this situation and if the federalistas would ever suddenly surprise him. When you answered you said the feds will not care etc.
When he and you mentioned the feds were you talking the USA or Canada Revenue.

Q: I currently have a half position in TOY and am up 12 percent. I want to buy the other half but I've read that most of their sales are this quarter for christmas. So does that mean the stock will be much lower in January and for the next three quarters? I guess I'm wondering if I'd be buying at a high and should wait until mid next year?
