Q: Hey Peter & Team

Really need your help. I read all your articles among many others, and recently read something that hit home when you spoke about portfolio management and to be willing to get out of losers. To be honest, I have yet to collapse a position in which I was not ahead.

I'm a little under water (13%) with XOM and as far as I can tell could remain there for some time - maybe a couple of years. It had a nice move yesterday but has given some back today.

I was thinking about exiting XOM and taking a position in Ford. Right now I have about 25% of my portfolio in US equities with positions distributed in;

APPL
WFC
DIS
CBI
TWX

as a whole this group has performed very well for me.

Do you think a position in Ford is wise at this time? Or would you recommend another sector/stock that might work better for me? Or would you recommend I just hang tough, collect the XOM dividend and patiently wait for the oil recovery? And finally, do you have an opinion on when you think Oil might return to $70 - $80.

Always appreciate everything you do

Gord

Q: WHY MY BROKER DID NOT FILL MY ORDER??
This morning I placed a buy order for aw.un with a limit of $28.11 for 75 shares. The order was placed at 12.13 PM. My broker did not fill my order claiming all sorts of excuses such as 75 is an odd lot or the stock is illiquid.

Here are the trades noted from the chart of another broker for aw.un after I placed my order:

12:45 PM 200 shares at $28.10
1:15 PM 600 shares at $28.10
1:20 PM 1,200 shares at $28.10
1:40 PM 109 shares between $28.07 - $28.20
3:00 PM 474 shares between $27.99 - $28.18
3:40 PM 25 shares at $28
3:55 PM 600 shares at $28.00

Please advise me whether my broker is justified in not fulfilling my order. As well, can you advise me what to do? I have complained to customer service and was told the stock is illiquid and my order was for an odd lot.
Thank you for your service.

Q: AutoCanada reported after hours. It looks very good to me, what do you think? Adjusted net earnings per share increased by 23% to $2.24 from $1.82. Same store revenue increased by 8.9%. Same store gross profit increased by 7.9%. And in 2015, they filed for a normal course issuer bid to repurchase shares. What is unclear to me is the outlook. They note that consumer confidence is down and retail volumes was down 9% in January YoY.

Q: Hi Peter,

I have a small position in Biosyent. Admittedly it had a very good run in 2014, but has gone a bit silent in recent months despite strong numbers. Would you see this as normal consolidation or are there other issues at play. I'm a bit underwater and would appreciate your thoughts on whether to hold or to move on.

Thanks

Q: Between Stantec and WSP Global which one would you consider better to be part of. They both seem good to me but I own some Stantec from just before the stock split and it is down slightly. I was considering moving half of my $ value from STN into WSP just so I could see some growth in the allocated funds. Also on a side thought could you give your opinion on the possible outcome for SNC's court proceedings and if they are not able to avoid charges how this would affect Stantec and WSP.
Thank you as always
