Q: Hello Peter and team, I really like the new format of the 5i Research Summary of 2012 posted January 5th 2013. It’s very interesting to find so much information on the companies on one chart.

Q: Hi Peter,
I'm down 14% with HNL. This is my first significant negative holding of 5i recommendations and I don't know what to do (HNL is 10% of my portfolio). Should I sell or hold?

Q: Mr. Hodson,kindly consider the following. Any long time investor usually receives all kinds of offers by email. One I just received comes from Paul Tracy, Chief Strategist,StreetAuthority's Top 10 Stocks, Co-Founder, StreetAuthority. After listening, patiently, to a lengthy voice presentation, the offer is available (but only when on the verge of quitting) as a 22-page document. It looks pretty convincing and boasts its Top 10 Stocks annual list trounced the overall market 7 out of 9 years up to 2011 (2012 results haven't been finalized yet). The offer is for a subscription at 99$ per year to a bunch of publications, with a special introductory price of 39.95$ per year, with the possibility of cancelling the subscription before the 30 days is up (and keeping the reports sent, free of charge). Is this, in your view, analogous to a scam or at least all glitter and no substance ? I just read your article this morning in the Financial Post (Old lessons still ring true), and while this is not comparable, your message about being cautious is not lost on me.

Q: Peter,

What do you think will happen in the WND takeover story? BEP.UN has asked investors to vote for their 2.50 bid and the share price is hovering at 2.80. I have quite a lot of shares at the current market price. Is is safe to bet their would at least be a bid of 3 or more or should I trim down my holdings and buy something else.

Also, I got some good takeovers in June and July but as always I lost a lot my money on some gold and similar stocks in the Aug-Dec period and I am wondering what should I do going forward with a much smaller cash balance currently invested in PKI, BTE and CPG Options. Thanks for the advise.
