Q: Large multinational oil and gas firms, including COP and RDS.B, are greatly reducing or eliminating their holdings in the Athabasca Tar sands. Canadian firms such as CVE and SU have been major purchasers of those assets. It seems that the important questions is to why the multinationals are selling.It is an important question for me. I own CVE @ $30. If I put a similar amount of money into CVE at present I could reduce my cost to $20. I know you generally do not recommend averaging down, but is CVE an exception or would it just be dead money both short-term and long-term? ?

Q: Re Zinc play. You suggest TV which I just purchased. What about TK as well. TK seems like a thin trader. A package of the two companies. What do you think ?

Q: Hello there,
Recently I had asked about your top 2 favourite growth ideas outside of your Balanced Equity Portfolio/Shopify and GUD and GSY were suggested along with OTEX (however you had mentioned this might give too much weighting towards technology). I presume GSY would still be one of your favourite ideas - but what would replace GUD as your second favourite idea, now that GUD is part of the BE Portfolio (which I have purchased along with CLS on Friday). Thanks so much!

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan and 5i team. I am a long time holder of Mawer New Canada Fund. I purchased a substantial (for me) position in the fund for my RRSP many years ago before it closed to new investors. While I understand you are not fans of mutual funds in part due to the fees they charge - the fee on MAW107 is 1.4%) - this fund has consistently performed extremely well. This single fund currently makes up 14% of my self-managed RRSP portfolio, a 50/50 mix split between no-load low MER funds and individual North American small and large cap stocks. Is the 14% that this single fund occupies in my RRSP excessive in your opinions, or should I stay the course?
Q: Hi Peter and Staff,
What do you think about the turnaround story at FireEye. Could this stock get back to the $20-$25 level within the next year or two? According to their inventor presentation released Feb 2/17 "Q4 2016 Financial Results" they have made some progress towards trimming their sale and marketing expenses year over year. Any perspective you have would be appreciated!
Thanks Steve.

Q: Would you continue to RSG if already owned? What other Canadian stocks would you prefer in this sector over RSG?

Q: Hi Folks,
I am gradually building up a dividend producing portfolio. At this time I have positions in EIF, VET, BCE and AQN. I'm hoping to achieve a 4 - 5% dividend yield plus 4 - 5% appreciation. Do you think my return expectations are reasonable? What are your thoughts on my current holdings? Could you give me your 5 - 6 favorite dividend stocks for me to add at this time? Please deduct whatever number of credits my multi pronged question merits.
Thanks for the great service.
Dennis

Q: GUD.
With a new rating at A-, is it in essence a vote of confidence in the CEO ? Yet, for the time being, there is more cash than realizations completed.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
Great article in Saturday's Financial Post, Peter!
As a replacement for DH in a TFSA, and disregarding sector, which one of the above three stocks would you buy today? I'm thinking that the recent resignation of PHO's CEO and the subsequent 6.71% decline in the share price presents a buying opportunity, but as always, I value your advice and recommendations. (We already own two of the stocks in your article - GSY and ZCL. Many thanks for that!)
