Q: I purchased a small non registered portfolio for my 16 yr old son in Dec 2014. It consisted of equal holdings of BTE (-30%), COS (-51%), CPG (-20%) and WJX (-32%). It started with $4000, the present day value of this portfolio is $2700. The goal for this portfolio is long term growth.
My question is do I hold and wait for an oil recovery or is it better to sell all or some to create a portfolio which hopefully will produce superior long term results. We were being greedy jumping on the oil bandwagon looking for the large gains with big dividends - seems it was a mistake.
I have learned from your service the benefits of diversification and would greatly appreciate your advice on how to fix this for my son.
Also, I would like to know is it better to put your new growth portfolio in a non-registered or a registered account.
Thanks,
Michele

Q: Hi Peter and team

DHX Media has been drifting lower since the jump on the most recent earnings release. How expensive is it now? I can't seem to find any PE or other metrics that make sense.

Do you think the split into the A and B shares is confusing investors, especially American investors, and will therefore hold back the share price going forward?

Thank you!

Q: Interesting update. How did the VC firm end up with 22%? Was that some sort of dilutive bail out? Just seems odd they would hold 7X the stock that Mgmnt does.

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
Just a question regarding rebalancing. Some of the stocks in our portfolios (Thank you very very much) have run up to the 6-7% level. (CSU is amazing) Should I be trimming / adding on an ongoing
basis ??? Or would it be better to trim during the typical period of seasonal strength (like now) and add during the period of typical seasonal weakness (like the fall). I know that it does not pay to be too cute in this game. Your feedback on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for all of your help. DL

Q: Chesswood has announced they will issue, 2,871,800 subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of $9.75 and yet the share price today is up some 11% and over $11.00. I would have thought this would have had a negative effect. Can you explain? Thanks John
