Q: Peter and team, I have a managed RRSP account that I wish to transfer into my self directed account. The account contains some large cap US stocks but mostly medium and small sized Cdn stocks. Is there a preferred strategy to move the account holdings ? I had thought to ask the firm to liquidate and transfer the proceeds but am now thinking the thinly traded small companies would be better sold over time. Is transferring everything in-kind better ? Thanks you.

Q: Hi Peter. Could I have your opinion on Marlin Gold Mining (MLN-V)as a long term play in the junior gold space. I did some research on Wexford Capital and CEO John Brownlie and was impressed so established a position several weeks ago. Based on yesterday's News Release, I may add to my position (REF: "Creation of Sailfish Royalty Corp. to Unlock Shareholder Value"). What is your opinion on the News Release ?? Thanks.

Q: I'm currently holding Loblaws. It represents about 5% of my portfolio. If was just purchased a few months ago. I'm a long term investor. Do you think it's worth holding for 5 years plus. If not can you recommend another in this sector. I think this is a great site and love the job the staff at I5Reseach are doing. I read this site daily.

Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
Now with the Paladin / Endo deal done (what a pleasant outcome) my question is about the spinoff: Knight Therapeudics (GUD- TSXV). I would like to continue to partner directly with Jonathan Goodman and his team. Do you think it would be a good idea to purchase additional shares of GUD when they begin trading on March 3rd ??? Thanks for your help as always. DL

Q: Hello
What do you think of Phoenix Energy Services recent results. They seem to grow consistently and are diversifying international. I don't know why they don't seem to be followed. Thank you again for your superior service . Mike

Q: As a shareholder of Constellation Software (CSU), I wonder why they don't do a stock split this would encourage more small shareholders to buy in, not many people want to buy 10 or 15 shares. Their volume each day is very low and it seems that this can allow a few shareholders to affect the stock price. Recently on no news other than some analyst from RBC downgrading the company from a buy to a hold the stock had a large drop. Would you have any comments? Thanks

Q: I am interested in any comments that you might have on ZDV -BMO Canadian Dividend ETF. My interest is mainly for solid and growing income. This ETF has a higher dividend than some similar ETFs. Reading the questions and your responses is indeed a great education. Thank you. Len

Q: You answered a question from Ralph about using HFR as a "safe place to park excess cash sitting in a discount brokerage RRSP, perhaps for a few months, while waiting to invest it in the market". Outside an RSP I have used HFP to park cash. It yields 3.25%, receives benefits of dividend tax credit. It is not a big trader so there is a bit of a bid/ask spread, but I have found if I am able to wait a day or two I have always been able to get for equal to or better than my buy price. Any caveats?
