Q: Considering that one need not invest in all sectors to have a balanced portfolio, would you recommend to have gold or gold stocks in the portfolio at this time? I have a 3% of my portfolio in this sector through AEM, BTO and SLW for a pure play on the metals.
From a risk reward perspective should i stay in the sector and if so, make adjustments like switch to Goldcorp or move out of stocks into gold such as CEF? The seasonality for gold is coming to an end and the outlook for gold/silver prices are all over the map.
Would appreciate your opinion.

Q: Hi Peter and team. I have another porfolio management question.
We are having trouble allocating equity and ETF's between the regular portfolio we manage on our own and the TFSA. After 5 yrs the TFSA holdings are about half and we've noticed ofcourse that you can not claim losses. This should be obvious but is it better to put the ETF's in the TFSA and stocks outside? Trying to create a sleep at night portfolio has been a challenge.
Thanks for any input. Jan

Q: Good day!
I am looking at ENF (Enbridge Income Fund) and/or AQN (Algonquin Power and Utilities)for a position or a split position (both?) I prefer ENF for the higher div and seemingly similar growth paths (or maybe a bit better?), but I do own PPL (a full position) and see the overlap with Enbridge for pipelines. Would appreciate advice as to which I should choose for (primarily)income, and also some downside dividend protection against market correction and also - for the complete wish list - a chance for reasonable growth.
If you wish, I would appreciate any alternative choice(s) in a reasonable dividend-paying utility.
Thanks!

Q: Hi, is this a good entry point for Aston Hill Financial (AHF)?
Thank-you.
Thank-you.
Q: Hi
I read your excellent answer to Dave this morning in which you say "The main drivers to equities are (1) earnings (2) interest rates and (3) money flows (people going to cash/shifting from bonds to stocks). If earnings are strong and growing, and interest rates are low (i.e right now), it is hard to predict a big fall in the market.
I want to buy additional shares in Royal Bank [RY] but I have been watching the price rise steadily since the summer and am severely conflicted. Do I just go ahead and buy now because of the 3 parameters you mention are in force, or do I wait for a hoped-for 5% or more market pullback?
The current payout ratio is 49% for RY and the yield only 3.81% so I would expect a dividend increase because of the rising stock price and falling yield, but with the payout ratio so high [normally in the 45% range I believe for banks] is this even likely?
Many thanks... Paul
