Q: Hi Team
Would like your thoughts on Eldorado Gold as a hedge in a portfolio?

Thnx in advance!!

Q: I need to add to utilities sector to re-balance my portfolio. You have been recommending Enbridge as the best bet in utilities, is it still the case? In fact, I can add either CDN or US company (have free cash in both accounts), so I am also considering KMI.US - I like the dividend and the stats seems to be better than for CDN utilities. If you had to choose one utilities stock in Canada or US based on a combo of dividend and growth, which one would it be? Dividend is not that important for me at the moment, but it's always nice.

Q: May I have you opinion on preferred shares? Specifically I would like you opinion of
Royal Bank of Canada 3.6% Non-Cum. 5-Year Rate Reset First Pref., Series BD

Call/Reset Date: 24-May-2020
Call Price: $25.00
Terms of Reset: 5yr GoC Yld + 2.74%
Close Price (13-Oct-15): $18.46

Since this is considered to be Non-Viability Contingent Capital, I believe there may be a good chance that this will be called. At the current price, would it be worth buying for the fixed income.

Thank-you

Q: Had my eye on CXR for a while and thought I was cute by buying when they announced the placement pricing (at around $84 CAD) and we all know what has happened since. I caught a bit of your response yesterday to a caller on BNN regarding averaging down. My original purchase was a third to half position and makes up approx 1% of my portfolio. Thinking of adding to CXR here and bring my weighting up to 2% and see what happens. I may have also read that one reason for the share price decline was the possibility of having to do another share issue to pay down some debt? Is that a high probability? If so should I hold off buying the rest of my position?

Q: Hello. Seen Peter on BNN today. CMH I have held for some time and every so often it will have an 8 or 9% drop. It seems thinly traded. What is your opinion of it? Also, SWKS (U.S.) was a market performer and over the last while has fallen considerably. It acquired another company. Would this be the reason for such a downward trade over the last while? What is your opinion on this. Hate to mention CXR again, but I am still holding AVO which CXR seems to be going the same route as AVO. There is always a reason why stocks are going down, but in the case of these two and a few others, they seem to have quite a considerable drop. Is it just the market takes a hate to these companies or is there something extra we don't know about them? I know I am asking the right people for this type of advice. Dennis
