Q: Between HLF, BAD and STN which one do you think has better potential. I have seen HLF go up like crazy in the last few days and to a lesser extent so have BAD and STN. Dont you think some of these must be real expensive on valuation basis at this point and there would be more downside than upside. What are your thoughts? Thanks
Q: Hi Peter - I really like your website; enjoy reading the member questions and your answers - very informative.
After reading the blog about maintenance of portfolios, I have two questions.
With a portfolio of $100,000, would the ideal number of stocks still be 20? And with my ACQ (AutoCanada) and STN (Stantec) becoming a larger percentage - would you still trim these or let them run up a bit?
Thank you

Q: I have $20,000 to contribute to my RRSP, what stocks would you suggest for a conservative investor in their 50s. Most of my other portfolio is currently in gold and oil. Thank you very much for your advice.
Q: My dilemna: I own Genivar(GNV)which has been a poor performer this year.It currently faces headwinds from integration of the WSP deal and has been touched , if not directly implicated, by the Quebec construction scandal. However, barring any scandal revelations, my guess is it is near a bottom and provides a good dividend. In retrospect STN was the way to go (wasn't a 5i subscriber at the time), but it has run up a lot recently and I wonder how much remains and the dividend is much lower.
What would be your recommendation - take the tax loss on GNV and buy STN or wait on GNV and collect the 7% dividend.

Q: Genivar GNV has a lower purchase price and a larger dividend than STN. Are they involved in similar engineering activities? Would GNV be close to STN in terms of overall current valuation and annual growth from dividend and capital gain.
Thank you Alan

Q: The stock is lacking bids. Dropping and chart not good. Where will it bottom. Any reason for this.
Q: My question is re Stantec (SN). My portfolio is overweight small cap, profitable, dividend paying, thinly traded companies, and I am comfortable with that. When I read your report on Stantec in Feb (price was 30.15 at the time), it sounded like my kind of stock. I eventually bought a few hundred shares, ACB 30.55. Since then the stock has slowly, but consistently lost value, so that I am now down about 10%, which is my warning sign. Do you have an opinion why the stock seems to be out of favour, and whether I should hold, or get rid of it at this time. Thanks.
