Q: I bought byd.un at 10, this represent now 3.5% of portfolio. also their dividend is not eligible. Technically it seems to have rounded a top, I am not afraid of capital gains tax. Would you trade it or part of it for exco.
Thanks

Q: Hello Peter

I'm looking at ways to reduce volatility of my portfolio. I've had some success shorting. However I'm finding it very tiresome to always be on the look out for shorts. Can you recommend another service or a strategy...or even a book that can help me with this process.

Also it would be wonderful if you offered a short portfolio to compliment your other portfolio's on the service.

Thanks

Nicholas

Q: Hi all, We currently have a 5% position of our portfolio in RRX, another 5% split pretty evenly among cpg, tou & ppy. Given the current news about a possible significant drop in oil prices, would it be wise to reduce our positions in some or all of the above now and get back in later in the year?
Thanks a lot
John

Q: Which is riskier PLI or CRH? If you were going to invest today for a 3 year period would you go with PLI or CRH? On a valuations basis considering growth potential, is CRH still "cheap" relative to its peers even after the recent increase?

Q: What do you think of Callidus and asset-based lending in general? It seems they fill a niche above some of the 'factoring' companies in terms of finance. This seems to be a growth area. Are they fairly valued here? Thx.

Q: Hey Peter & Team

recently Insider Money reported that John Paulson at the end of 2014 purchased a significant number of shares (9 mill) in MNK. Since then the share value has seen a 21% appreciation and in the past year, shares have increased by by over 45%.

As a retail investor, it is becoming obvious we are the dummies out here and that hedge fund managers and the like are getting information well ahead of us.

Is there a way us little people are able to get a hold of information like this in real time?

And how should we be using the 5i site to get concurrent information on companies that have a change which will effect share values

And what are your thoughts on MNK moving forward?

Any www sites you can provide that might help us understand what big/smart money is doing in real time would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all you do

gm

Q: I'm a bit worried about my WCP and CEU holdings which I hold for income and income growth. In light of ever increasing oil inventories and oil service stocks hurting big time I don't see much hope for these companies this year. I'm thinking about selling these two for other income stocks I feel are a bit more stable such as Exchange Income (EIF) & Veresen (VSN). How do you feel about these moves and could you possibly suggest other suitable income replacements.

Q: Re Gerald's comment today (RY - Royal Bank) and his discovery of D-Series funds available thru RBC. I'm sure you will find this to be true for all banks as adverse to their affiliated Discout/Self-Directed brokerage's.
IE at TDDI (TD Direct Investing) they also offer D-Series funds.
I would suggest though that Gerald check-out their eSeries Index Funds. Out of the 17 listed on their Website 12 have MER's below 1% and NO Commisions to buy/or sell.

Q: Hi,

I have been holding ET for quite sometime now. What I have observed that it starts rising before the earnings release and goes upto around 18.5 and then after the earnings it falls back below 17 dollars and stays there for quite some time. Would you suggest I replace it with another stock as except for dividend it seems to be a dead stock. Which stock would you recommend as its replacement.
