Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Please give your assessment of there 4th Q.R. in relation to the future of this company. How serious do you rate this poor quarter? I know you have looked favourably on this company in the past...does this change your opinion...if so to what degree. Would you consider buying it after it dips...or do you think there are now better possibilities in the junior sector?

Q: Are there any NR stocks in the Model Portfolios that would likely be rated less than B-? If so which ones? I like to focus on investments rated A+ to B-. Thanks
Q: RRSP question: Assume I am an Alberta resident with $0 income in 2017. How much can I withdraw from from my RRSP account while maintaining a 0% tax rate (disregard withholding tax)? 2017 Basic Alberta Personal Amount is $18,690 at 10% and Federal amount is $11,635 at 15%. And, can I make this withdrawal now (Feb. 17) for 2017 or does the March 1st RRSP cutoff date apply for withdrawals as well? Thanks.
Q: Just wonder what happened to my question regarding RAI @ MO tobacco company that I send to you on Friday 17th. of Feb. around noon time.
Never got any answer.
Q: Based on my own accounts it seems that bond ETFs are negatively correlated with stocks, on the whole. That's not surprising, but do you have any numbers on this?
Q: Hi, I don't see any questions asked on this gold miner - it seems to me to have a lot of potential, but I'd appreciate your take on it versus the other names you often mention such as AEM, BTO. Thanks!
Q: Late January you commented that Open Text was trading at 15 times earnings or so...however I cannot figure how you calculated this.
Was it forward earnings? GAAP or Non GAAP earnings? What was the earnings number you were using?
Q: Can you recommend 3 good names in the financial sector (any sub-sector) that are a good value? Banks seem to have had a bit of a run with the rising interest rate and deregulation talk and they seem a bit pricey. Would you wait for a pull back or is the run up justified and sustainable? Anything else look good today?

Q: When using the above methodology (BTSX), by definition, sector balancing is uncontrolled. Given that, and the undisputed performance of the methodology, can a long term buy and hold investor commit to using this method for the bulk (say 75%) of his equity portfolio and feel confident of the portfolio's stability relative to the TSX index?
Q: Peter, I am going to provide my daughters (18 & 19) with $5,000 to start their TFSA's. The amount is not large enough to have a portfolio and I have read your answers on this type of question. However, I am thinking of a EFT for the S&P 500 rather than the Canadian index which is too focused on Financials and Energy. As their expenses will be in Canadian $, I would like your recommendations for a hedged EFT. Should I add a small position in SHOP, etc?
