Q: Hello Peter,
I consider stocks such as chartwell and jean coutu to be fairly stable over a 3 to 5 year time frame. If these types of stocks go up 15 percent in a short time (less than 6 months), is it better to sell half a position and consider buying it back when it pulls back or it is best just to hang on to it for the long run? Also, to add to my gold and resource position, i was thinking of adding to sprott inc, but for some reason, the stock has not moved. I understand you worked at Sprott but i am using it as an example of a asset management company that specializes in precious metals and resource stocks. thanks very much.

Q: I have a LOT of Surge. Bought close to or under $2.00. My thinking was that as oil rises - so will Surge. Oils rising and surge is falling. My wcp acts as I expect it / what am I missing on my logic with surge??

Q: Hi can you please comment on the (potential) money owed to the founders of the company? How likely will this need to be paid and what impact would it have? Would you consider GS a buy right now, or a hold if I presently own it?

Q: Further to the Dutch auction, I am trying to figure out the affect this auction may have on the current and future stock price. When exactly does the company buy the stock? Do they do one big purchase on Apr 15 or buy daily along the way? Will the stock stay between $34 - $38 during the auction period or if the stock goes above $38 does the company end the auction? Finally, by putting a purchase price with a ceiling of $38 is the company saying that is what they think the stock is worth?

Apprecitate your insight.

Q: Hello everyone;
I need to have fixed (Bond) portion in my portfolio, which currently resides in hi interest savings account. This is primarily because I do not understand effect on bonds by market forces such as interest rates, etc and what optimum term should be. iShare core ETFs seem to make sense. They are as follows: XQB (75% of fixed portion, 8.6 yr avg term), XSQ (15% of fixed portion, 3 yr avg term), XSH (10% of fixed portion, 3 yr avg term). I intend to keep it for long term. Please comment on suitability and timing.

Q: I was falling in love with this company until I saw this in the annual report 2014: "Some raw materials used in production are sourced from a single supplier and the Company is exposed to the same business risks that suppliers may experience." Do you have any idea to what extent this "single supplier" accounts for BioSyent's revenue mix?

Q: Hello Peter,
Stella Jones has pulled back a bit. I was thinking of selling Free hold to add to stella jones. Does this make sense or is it better to keep free hold royalties as it does have a good balance sheet and pays a good dividend. Thanks very much.
