Q: When an analyst says something like, "20% growth expected this year and 22% next year," does that mean the share price is expected to increase that much? By they way, I'm quoting from Stockchase in reference to Robert McWhirter's recent evaluation of his BNN Top Pick, Constellation CSU. Also, do you agree with McWhirter's opinion on Constellation's growth? Thank you.
Q: Hi Peter and Team
I'm currently preparing for your portfolio review and nearing retirement. My concern is that my advisor has done little to diversify and several funds in my RRSP have high Mer. The portion in segregated funds is over 3%.
I would like to move everything to my TD self direct RRSP account but I don't understand the charges that may apply. Do you suggest I hire a new fee based advisor to assist or would TD look after the transfers. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks to the entire team for your service.

Q: Hello 5i,
I am preparing for the new upcoming 5i portfolio and would like to find 25 US based stocks, as I like to diversify 50/50. A list of US names would be greatly appreciated, as many as you can comfortably give.
Many Thanks

Q: Hello,
I am working at cleaning up my portfolio. I sold my losers (SGY and ACQ) at big losses and am now trying to reduce my Canadian portion of my portfolio to 20 stocks. Currently 5 of the 20 are in the tech sector which is 25%. Do you think this is too high? I own the following 5 tech stocks:CSU, ESL, OTC, GIB.A and AVO.
I don't mind being a bit overweight in the sector as I think it will do well over the next few years. How many should I keep? If I were to drop one or two which would you suggest? CSU, ESL and GIB.A have been my best perfromers so I hate to sell them because I find the stocks that do well are generally the stocks that continue to do well. But I also think OTC and AVO have good prospects.
I look forward to your advice.

Q: There seems to be significant anticipation regarding your higher risk portfolio due out soon. I am wondering if you will release it on a Friday after the close so all members have a fair chance to review it as I am positive that some, if not all, stocks will jump noticeably.
Would you be willing to tell us a ballpark number of subscribers that you now have so we can judge the influence of your recommendations considering your record, to date, has been stellar, with very few like Surge and most like almost all of the rest. Thanks.

Q: Can you please comment on PBH ?
Thinking that the dividend yield is attractive but the PE seems high and also the debt.
Are the converts in the money and do they count as equity or debt ?
Many thanks. I am looking for yield at a price but not a lot of risk.

Q: Peter and company,
Do you think CWB would be a good buy now that it is down considerably because of the drop in energy stocks, drop in employment in AB and the slow economy? I stated in a previous e-mail that I wanted to cut back on financial services sector but the price looks attractive. Besides I don't really think of the banks as financial services but rather more as sort of organised crime.

Q: I hold a small position in Goldcorp (1.5%) and would like to increase my exposure to gold. Would it be best to add to G or start a new position in FNV. FNV seems to be the best long term performer just based on a quick chart comparision. Thank You Ron
Q: The company plans to split into separate companies. Would you buy the stock?
It looks like they are gaining traction. They have been trading in a very tight range.

Q: Your thoughts on DHX and the CRTC's "pick and play" rules?
Q: The company did cut its dividend since your last comment, but it's now over 12% again, due to the drop in price. TDW shows the majority of analysts giving ZAR a hold rating, but one analyst says Strong Buy. Also, the CEO, Hansen, has been buying shares in the last few days. Has your view of this changed recently? Would you buy it here?
