Q: Timber creek is dropping like a stone. Is this the sector rotation or is there something wrong with the company? Can you tell me what the NAV is of TMC?

Thanks as always

Q: Thank you for your service and your willingness to comment on questions beyond the stocks you're following. I hope your answer to our situation will be useful to your other clients.
You have suggested the Canadian Preferred Shares ETF CPD for other clients' bond and fixed income holdings and we took advantage of that advice with some GIC and moneymarket holdings. We've held TD Canadian Bond Fund TDB162 for many years (before 5iResearch and the wonderful Model Portfolio!)and are thinking of replacing the TD fund with CPD. Do you agree with this action?

Q: I'm planning to sell a few Canadian stocks and am interested in more investments in the US, specifically CVX, COP, MRK, JNJ, and WFC. Can you tell me which, if any, of these stocks have dividend reinvestment plans? Or, how can I find this info myself?

I asked a question on May 31 regarding Acorda Therapeutics (ACOR). Thank you for your reply, Bloomberg is reporting the P/E as 100, however my bank & other sources list it as 9.2. Does this shift your view?

Q: Hi 5i. URE has had quite a run lately. Is it company specific or sector specific? My cost is about $1.95 should I continue holding or off loading some.
Thanks

Q: As a person new to retail investing I have set aside about 10K and had the idea of following the concept of your model portfolio which would mean I would purchase $500 worth of shares for each company. Others have told me this is too little an amount and I should focus on a smaller number of companies, but I really like the diversification over multiple sectors and companies. What do you think? Thanks again for this really great service.

Q: In connection with Wilan; I read today ( http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-06-04/obama-issues-patent-abuse-order-seeking-congress-s-help.html) that the US is considering legislation to crack down on companies that they consider patent trolls, that is to say companies whose sole business is to obtain patents and use them to obtain royalties from businesses that make or use products and services.

This seems to be the very business model of Wilan.

Thanks as always for the feedback.

Q: Hi Peter,
With the price of gold fluctuating from day to day,what is the market telling us about the Fed and the economic numbers looking forward. Seemed like the price of gold was stabilizing last week and has now become an exercise in frustration. Some suggest that it is a good time to buy beaten down small-cap gold stocks such as SAS.
Thank you and have a good day.
