Q: Hi Team
Love your service.
Feedback from yourselves and Ross Healy, who I really respect, it is always impressed that one should have some small percentage of ones assets in gold, or gold stocks. I have small positions in both Goldcorp and Argonaut Gold, both of which are substantially under water. I was going to add to one of these to increase my gold weighting to 5%. Tempted to buy AR which I believe would give more upside potential, but I realize is the more risky stock. Just would like your thoughts on this plan. Is AR a solid stock with a good cash position, low gold costs, and an outlook to increased production. Or is the risk not justified?

Much thanks

Stuart

Q: Hello team,

Between Lumenpulse, Alimentation Couche-Tard, and Exco Technologies which one would you choose for a long term hold (3-5 years) in a TFSA looking for some risk but the highest upside potential?

I cannot decide as I find ATD.B expensive, LMP risky, and XTC not having as much growth.

Have a wonderful day everyone.

Q: I was caught badly over extended in the aggressive portion of my portfolio in late 2014 and into this year. I am still, foolishly I think, holding a few of the problem stocks in hopes of them recovering - Rock Energy RE -55%, Questor QST -49%, Canaccord CF -45% and Raging River RRX - 23% but the likelihood of recovery seems to constantly be moving further out. Is there any hope of these recovery near term or is it time to give up on these non-performing assets, take my losses and move on?

Q: Hi Peter,
Several days ago I sent in a question about the possible competitive threat for CXI from a new company called EncoreFX which is engaged in the currency exchange business. I have not received a reply to my question and am concerned about buying CXI. If you google EncoreFX there is lots of information about this company. Would you buy CXI at todays price? Thanks, Bill

Q: Peter,
What are your thoughts on New Look's Q4 results? Earnings continue to grow, margins holding in around the 20% level. Decent dividend and despite the strong share appreciation, still seems to be 'under the radar' as no one has asked a question about the company in nearly a year. Valuation seems to be the big question mark and whether they can expand in Canada.
Thanks.

Q: Counsel reports mid-next week. There has been a spike in activity recently with over 2 million shares traded since early last week. Despite the volume, the share price remains locked in the $2.00 to $2.05 range. P/E is under 8 and the couple of analysts covering it rate it Buy / Strong Buy. I've held a half position for a while and am still at break-even. What is your view of Counsel in general and for upcoming earnings?
