Q: Good morn.
Since the energy sector is rebounding nicely, I would appreciate
your pic on 2 or 3 additional stocks that you feel have legs for the next 12-18 months. I currently hold IPL,PPL,KEY,PKI,
BXE,TOU & SGY in this sector however, I classify IPL,PPL,PKI & KEY as support so I really only hold 3 pure oil& gas plays. Would appreciate you expertise as ever.

Q: For those of us who are time challenged I very much like your bullet response to Paul's question on the Utility Sector, where 9 companies were covered (8 requested). Just wondering: in the new/future question limit would such a question count as 4, 8 or 1 question or perhaps a blending of 2 (best/worst)? Perhaps you could clarify the limits for questioners who ask for opinions on multiple stocks in one email, too. Thanks, J.

Q: HellO,
I read in the May Canadian MoneySaver (pg 30) about Fixed Invstment Certificates. A little research tells me they are basically 2nd or 3rd mortgages. The return of 12% is appealing. Your comments on safety of the investment? What would be a maximum portion of a portfolio to invest in FICs
I do like the new cover designs.

Q: David Maris of BMO is quoted as saying:
"As of now, we think the Valeant bid stands at a less than 50% probability of being successful, and we base this on our belief that the cost cuts announced are not credible.” There's also discussion about an Allergan golf course in California that may or may not exist (how could such a thing be hidden from public view?). This is the same guy who exposed Biovail's contorted explanation as to why they missed earnings, so he would seem to have some credibility. Also Bill Acker's past record on acquisitions is far from perfect.

I still hold VRX from the 2012-13 model portfolio. Would it be better to stand aside with this latest revelation? Thanks, J.

Q: Hello, what do you make of the Orange Capital allegations on PAR.UN? I could not find out how many shares they owned, would you know?
Do they have ulterior motives in mind for bashing this stock down?
