Q: Hi, Peter
In my question to which oil&gas service company would profit the most from a revival of this industry, you mentioned 4 drillers. So the question is are driller the most prone from all service companies to profit first or there could be other type of service companies that would also participate early in the aforementioned scenario.
Thanks again
Claude

Q: Dear Peter and team:
Even though the tech sector has also corrected, it appears its gains haven't been completely wiped out.
What ETF would you recommend for one to take a position in NASDAQ. Keep in mind that the CAD is so weak! Do you see NASDAQ losing even more or holding steady in the next year or two. This is for my RRSPs. Time horizon 3 to 5 years.
If you don't recommend any ETFs, can you suggest some tech stocks?
Thanks .

Q: just a comment. surge has been active in the market buying back their own shares. according to the tmx website sgy bought shares every day in sept. except one for a combined total of more than a half million shares so far. its nice to see a company support their shareholders. it seems to be helping the stock some but I realize oil needs to recover but its nice to see a company not so distressed to be able to actually buy back shares.

Q: Nobody is talking about Potash, and KRN has just been approached by Erwin Braich to effectively take a controlling share by proposing 63,000,000 new common voting shares at CDN $3.15. The stock has bounced up to around $1.00 on this news, even though it seems there is little coverage, and volume is still pretty low. In general potash has not performed well over the past few years, with over-supply and lack of demand. What's your opinion on this proposed deal (non-binding at the moment) and its impact on the stock price over the next 6-12 months?

Q: Hi Guys,

I have owned JNJ for many years and it really has not performed up to my expectations.

Would you sell JNJ today and replace it with UnitedHealth Group (UNH)for a 5 year hold. I require something to stay in the drug/healthcare area of my portfolio.

If yes, could you give me your reasons.

Thanks for the help.

Regards
John

Q: Wondering what your latest thoughts are for RSI. Dividend yield is getting higher, is their sustainable CF operations able to cover it? Did they ever cut their dividends historically b/c of low sugar prices? I treat it like a bond investment and collect the dividends b/c I can't ever see Rogers Sugar going under - the product is in every store, most restaurants and sugar is in food products - you would think it has a large market share besides Kraft sugar so what's going on? Or are people just switching to salt and coconut oil these days ...
