Q: Hi, I tendered my PG shares to receive COTY. But since then the COTY shares have been dropping. I am assuming I should ignore the daily share movements and just consider this as a long term investment. Please let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks. Shyam

Q: Is United Health (UNH.us) one to sell given the unusual political volatility? My question was also prompted by my renewed awareness that I may have over-allocated funds to bio-tech companies, and older-line pharmaceutical companies listed in the US and Europe. UNH is neither bio-tech nor pharma, but would it be safe from the ongoing and apparently increasing Congressional frustration with the entire industry.How would the abolition of the Advanced Health Care Act affect UNH? I am fine riding out the political yelling, so long as you think UNH still has a good future, with dividend growth and some price appreciation.

Q: Hello,
The following 5 companies are on my buy list to complete my portfolio:
PBH
TOY
NFI
BCE
CAR.UN
I have room for two in my TFSA, two in my non-registered and one in my RRSP. How should I divide the above 5 stocks into these accounts?
My plan is to buy on pullbacks. But I'm thinking about buying CAR.UN now because it has already pulled back on the mortgage news. Does this make sense?

Q: Hi Peter and team,my holdings down 10~20%,should I hold or sell ?any chance of bounce back in the next 6 months ?
Q: I have been quite patient with Husky Energy (HSE) having bought in 2011 and earlier. The reward for my patience has been a drop in value of 36% excluding dividends. Since the stock is up about 16% YTD, is it a good time to sell the stock (RRSP) and replace it with something else. In my RRSP I have too much oil already so would like a recommendation outside of oil and gas. I am retired and relatively conservative but don't need a return for 5+ years. Also I am prepared to keep HSE if it's the best thing to do.
Q: ABT has lost 15% of its value in the last 2 months. Any reason for the drop? Would you buy more (up to your maximum allocation)?
Q: Would the stocks in the income portfolio be those you would recommend for retirees?
Q: Currently I hold MKP in my RRSP with the intent of receiving income and as a long term hold.
Given the new mortgage rules should I be reassessing whether to keep this stock?

Q: Does BRE contain the Brookfield property management division or just the reality co.s like Royal Lepage ?
Q: Thanks for the blog "Who gets impacted by a carbon tax?".
While Saskatchewan and Alberta show the highest per capita impact in your analysis, isn't it energy users who will pay the bill? With the largest populations, won't a considerable part of the cost be borne by Ontario and Quebec drivers, particularly drivers of the least fuel efficient vehicles?
Also, do you happen to know how a carbon tax impacted countries that implemented it years ago? Thanks for any references you have on this. Edward

Q: Hello Peter and 5i Team,
Could I have your assessment on the impact, if any, of the carbon tax on High Arctic Energy?
What would your thoughts be towards HWO, moving forward in general, for a 3 -5 year hold?
Can you suggest any other stocks /companies that would have an edge over their competition in light of the impending carbon tax?
Thank you kindly,
Rick

Q: What do you think about taking a 5% position in Bird at this time. Although its share price is down, it has consistently paid an attractive dividend since 2011 (0.66/year), rising to 0.76/year in 2014 where it has remained. Its second quarter results were disappointing due to Alberta wildfires, but isn't this a good entry point as Fort McMurray reconstruction ramps up?
Q: Hi team, I'm about 20% down on DH and it seems not to be recovering. I wonder if you have any advice / insight as to whether I should bail out before their report on earning (Oct 25) or to stay the course? Even as a 3-5 year hold, do you think there's a chance of recovery? Thanks!
Q: You have previously recommended in not going above a 50/50 mix in equities and income for a average investor. What can one assume is included in income producing products? Preferred shares, dividend paying stocks, bonds....? What percentage breakdown is recommended for an average investor for a 10 year time frame? Thank you
Q: I have about 10% cash right now. Normally I prefer to be fully invested because I like the steady dividends. My investing style is somewhere between your income portfolio & balanced portfolio and the portfolio is reasonable balanced. I don't need to take anything from my investments now but I will in a couple of years.
It "feels" like sitting on a bit of cash makes sense right now in the short term and maybe take advantage of tax loss season or other buying opportunities (seems like a lot of those recently).
Your thoughts?
