Q: I am looking for a 2012 "dog" that should turn around this year and consider gold to be an opportunity. I am also looking to minimize or at least reduce risk, and willingtherefore to accept less upside.

So,does this make sense: equal weight producers( e.g. XGD), bullion ( CGL) and a yield play (PME)?

Thank you.

Q: What do you think of ALC? Earnings appear to be good, they have been buying new lower operating cost ships which are being financied through debt (the Jackman family sees no need to issue stock), according to the Royal Bank they have the highest ROE of all companies in their group. (They are probably the only company in that group!). I feel the economy is picking up so there should be a need for their ships. They ship materials to Hamilton's steel mills. The stock has recently split 10 for 1 and I think a dividend increase could be in the offing once some of the debt is paid down.
Thanks Jim

Q: I have been a shareholder of Inmet for a few years. Right now I'm up about 150% with the take-over offer. If memory serves me correctly the Globe wrote that 3 officers of the company hold 40% of the stock - so I am guessing the take-over will fail. I respect management and I expect the mine will prove profitable. However there is still 3 years to go before they pour their first ingot. Inmet forms 3% of the value of my portfolio. I am 61 years old, married and currently unemployed. (My wife is still working). Should I sell?
Thanks Jim

Q: I have been studying the insider trading at Brookfield (BAM.A). While officers in particular own a good chunk of shares in the millions of $ worth, and I'm happy to see that they have skin in the game, some have "indirect ownership" of a hundred million $ worth of shares and more. How would this ownership arise - through family or private corporations they control? Does it represent real money, which to me with my few hundred shares seems to be an obscene amount? Would these large number of share stakes have arisen through stock options, financed with low to no interest company loans? I attended high school with one of these super-lottery winners so call me envious...Jeff

Q: Hi, I am interested to know why Bell Aliant (BA) stock price has recently started to decline. The dividend yield is presently 7%. I have heard on business talk shows that BA might decrease their dividend. Would you at 5iResearch have any insight as to why Bell Aliant stock price is falling? Would now be a good time to sell & take a 1% loss? Thanks ... Cal
