Q: Hi Peter,
I realize you are mainly into stocks but I had a call from a company named "Rare Diamond Investor". They sell coloured diamonds as an investment. Just wondering what your thoughts on that are? Is it a risky investment. Thanks.

Q: Regarding the earlier question about Partners, PAR.UN my portfolio is set up for income with some growth with 4% in REITS.
Would you consider the addition of Partners as an opportunity to pick up yield with potential longer term capital appreciation once the dust clears or is there too much risk involved, either the distribution being maintained or other concerns?
If the addition has merrit would a switch from RioCan make sense or should I use new money?
Thank you for your thoughts, Brian

Q: I have held a Man AHL hedge fund MCC101 in my RRSP for a number of years. It did well in the market crash. I think it would do well in a market up turn but in an up and down market like we have had it does nothing. Is there any point in holding on to this? I think if I just followed your model portfolio I would do (a lot) better.

Q: What are your thoughts on rate reset preferred shares. I own some CCS.PR.D and next year is the reset date. Is it likely that they will be redeemed rather than reset? If so the return left on these is very poor, if they reset then I would think the price will rise.
