Q: Hi Peter,

I have shares of Shoppers Drug Mart (SC) which are up by about 26% today because of the news regarding the merger with Loblaws. What should I do with my SC shares? Should I sell, or do nothing? Will SC continue to be listed on the TSX?

Thank you,

Gervais

Q: ZWB versus Bank of Nova Scotia for my Dad, my kids RESP or myself. The banking portion of a
healthy 90 year old's well balanced successful portfolio, wouldn't mind some cash flow and to maintain initial investment. Well balanced RESP, 1/2 is laddered bonds, will need the funds in 2-7 years, have 12.5% in ZWB, should it change to BNS? For myself, 15 years before I need cash, well balanced portfolio - ZWB vs BNS?

Q: Hi All, at what point within your followed stocks would you sell to take profits? Is there a price increase (%) that would trigger selling? Do you ever suggest a sell to subscribers at a particular point or is it strictly buy a name and hold indefinitely? As time goes on subscribers would be buying names at various different entry points and obviously have different sell points...is there a good rule to follow?

Q: Twin Butte Energy [TBE]. I read where TD has reduced TBE to a "HOLD", whatever that means, and reduced its target price from $3.25 to $2.25 which is a significant drop at one shot. Could I have your comments on this firm?
Thanks,
Ron

Q: Peter,

All gold related issues are basically no bid. To me, this is a time to go shopping. I have held off and I dont have much exposure the sector. I do not know how to start and what to look at.

I would think a manager would add value to a sector mandate? Is this the case? I am thinking of RBC precious metals.

Alternatively, I would go for an ETF such as ZJG-to or GDX.

My other thoughts would be to look at some stream companies. FNV or SSL. Even SLW would do. This would be a more conservative way to play the sector. I do feel the real value is in the miners (kinross is down 80%!). Usually you see that when they is an accounting issue or bankruptacy in the near term. I am somewhat analysis paralasis`at the moment.

Thank you.
