Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hello Peter:
First in a very short duration of membership, I am very impressed with the response and quality of advice provided. I have listened to you for long time on BNN from your stint in Sprott onward and I like your investment style.

I would very much like to learn how you assign rating on a stock and rationale for weighting within portfolio. For example you changed weighting on AYA.

I try to segment portfolio two ways; as the type of investment (Foundational, cyclical, opportunistic) and according to 13 TSX groups (Discretionary, Staples, Energy, Materials …). Segmentation is to have diversification. Each position is not more than 5%. Bond segment is outside this portfolio. Am I on the right track? Finding which TSX group the stock belongs is sometime difficult so I use my judgment. Any insight on portfolio creation and maintenance will be appreciated. Thanking you.

Q: Hello to all.
OK so this is the first adjustment in the model portfolio (AYA) ... I thought any moves would be much more dramatic,my allotment is not as precise as yours due to re-buying my dividends into Goldcorp and also I had DRIP which also has taken me away from exactley 5% holdings. Should a fella just stay where I am at or drop some Amaya. TY and thanks for the 28% !!!

Q: In Amaya's last financing, I notice the following: The Common Shares issued under the Private Placement are subject to a statutory resale restriction until November 12, 2013.
Is that date likely to bring increased selling? In other words, should we expect a price drop on Nov 12? I believe the share price for the financing was $6.25 ? I realize you can't predict what those who participated in the financing will do, but I'm wondering if there is a general rule of thumb. Just want to brace myself or trim some before. Thanks
