Q: I have held PRW for 2 years and am 30% down. It is only 1% of my portfolio. I was hoping for a lift due to its Site C contract but poor weather and fires have disappointed performance. Should I wait for Summer construction season performance or just sell and move on?

Q: My only gold stock is MND. I figure if I'm going to wait around to see what happens to gold, I want to be paid something. What do you think of MND? On the dividend, how is the payout ratio? How long have they been paying it? Have they ever raised or cut it? Are there any other cash-flowing mid-cap or small-cap gold dividend payers? Thanks.

Q: Hey 5i, I am a guy in his 20's who is just starting out with his TFSA. I would love your suggestion on a handful of companies I could buy right now that have great growth potential, and that are not overvalued or overpriced.

Thank you so much for your answer.
Regarding Management Expense Ratios and Management Fees. TD WebBroker lists both under fees and expenses for ETFs and Mutual funds and I was hoping you could help me understand my costs. Using TDB900 as an example the MER = 0.33% and the Management Fee = 0.35%. Am I paying annually 0.33 or 0.35%?

Q: I've held ADN for a couple of years and am underwater about 10%, but have enjoyed the 5% dividend along the way. I don't mind hanging onto it other than I'd sure like to see it break water one of these days. But is there another company in the same sector that I could replace it with that pays a dividend but has better growth prospects?
Q: PIH has been dropping quite strongly from above $10 to below $9 in a matter of days. I can't find any news, except perhaps NAFTA re-negotiation anxiety, but nothing specific. Any thoughts? Thank-you
