Investment Q&A

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Focus Graphite hit $1.78 in 2011...this year it has crashed from $0.69 to a new low of $0.16 today. I know the board dismissed there chief officer recently and they may not have the funding to begin production. Why do you think the stock is crashing? Is it lack of funding,inability to get the mine operational,poor management or all the above or am I missing something? It is my understanding that they have a quality asset and they have agreements for advance orders. Just based on there assets is this stock worth $0.16? So how would you rate its value...high risk?...a penny stock?... gambling?... or a fair long term contrarian buying opportunity?
Thanks as always...your insights are invaluable to retail investors!

Q: On a single, consolidated, basis, I'd like to be able to easily look at the holdings in all of my, and my wife's, accounts. This would be a spreadsheet alternative, and should help simplify sector allocation, etc.

Do you know of such a product?

[All accounts are with TD Waterhouse, but there's no indication separate/ combined views are possible with TDW's portfolio program.]

Q: What do you think of FTG's latest quarter? I like the currency torque(which should be even higher next quarter without the hedge in place) and aerospace tailwinds.

Is this a good small cap to buy?

Q: One of my designated long term investments - XTC just went over in the "overbought" territories today (RSI - 72.02). What usually follows after it reaches this threshold? Do SP a). usually retreat for good, b). retreat and then restart the climb again shortly, or c). going sideways from that point on?

If it's b). I might try to lock in the profit now and buy back at a lower price later. Is that a sound strategy? Your insight is much appreciated.

I have no experience in handling runaway winners. I'm good at dealing with losers though, lot of experience there.

Q: What is the outlook for this ETF? Will it recover with any future increase in interest rates or is it dead money? Should it be held longer term in an income account or sold? Please advise some replacement ideas if sold. Thank you, Barrie

Q: I am considering selling GEI and buying ENF and possibly more KEY.What are you thoughts on this move. Thanks , Joe

Q: Thinking of purchasing some shares in my TFSA. Of the Canadian Banks which do you feel is the best one to buy now? I do hold a full position of Royal, and a smaller portion of TD, and BNS in our Taxable account.
Your thoughts on this or another stock for the TFSA would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks John

Q: Hi Peter,
Barrick is bumping along a bottom. Is it basing, or is it heading lower ? Do you have any interest in it here ? Thank you.

Q: You previously indicated that you like PEY but your last commentary on this stock was in mid-April. Since then PEY was on steady decline loosing over 20% of value... I wonder what's your current opinion of Peyto: is it a buying opportunity after decline or is it hold or sell? I am currently down 10% on PEY and it is about 2.5% of my portfolio (total O&G is 12%).
Thanks.

Q: WE OWN BLUE RIBBON INCOME FUND. THEY HAD A 20% EXPOSURE TO THE ENERGY SECTOR & BOUGHT MORE WHEN IT WAS DOWN. I THINK THEY ARE EXITING THE ENERGY SECTOR NOW BUT CAN NOT OBTAIN ANY DETAILS. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS FUND GOING FORWARD AND IF IT IS WORTH HOLDING.

Q: Hi Guys, in my long journey of reducing the number of stocks in my portfolio, does selling MFR.UN (under water) an adding to L and PKI make sense. I am looking for income and a little growth.

thanks,

Jim

Q: WITH THIS VOLATILITY GOING ON ARE THERE ANY SLEEP AT NIGHT STOCKS IN YOUR OPINION/.

Q: I have a small position in RMP. With it's constant decline, how would you value it now? Would it be a good buying opportunity?

Thank you,

Wes

Q: Hi there, can I get your opinion on "FCU". Fission Uranium Corp

Thanks.

Q: The selling of PHM is relentless. Is there any particular reason for this. Is it short selling?

Q: where do you stand today on phm, strong buy, buy or hold. it keeps trending down for no apparent reason and appears very very cheap at 7 times forward earnings. dave

Q: PHM founders Michael Dalsin and Roger Greene had sold their 2.4 million shares right after exercising options yesterday. They had three companies on hand, and additional closed end health fund in the progress to be built. It asked shareholders to approve to increase 20% of its common shares. (I voted to against this shareholder dilution plan.)Also they keep issuing stock options to themselves. All those red flags make me start doubting this management. Am I wrong about this and do you still have faith in this company? Thanks for your unbiased insight as always!
