Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,

I own shares of CTH. In your opinion, would it be better to sell at around $52 or wait?

Thank you for your insight.

Q: I hold two rate-reset preferred stocks in my diversified portfolio - Pembina Pref and Brookfield Office Pref. When thinking about sector allocation, would you suggest I exclude these two stocks (as essentially fixed income), or should I include Pembina in my Utility sector weighting, and Brookfield Office in my Real Estate sector weighting? Thank you for your input. Edward

Q: Peter, as I build up new cash balances to invest, I need to resist the temptation to keep buying new stocks but, rather, to add to existing positions - simply to avoid to point where I'd have 80 or more stocks! I have an account that currently holds modest positions in Exco, K-Bro, and Tourmaline. With a 5-year time frame, which of those three would you expect to produce the best total gain? Or, since the account also holds the Horizons ETF HXT, would you be inclined to prefer that broad basket (although, obviously, diversification is not my concern!). Thank you.

Q: Anything new to add on ESN ? Some of my other resource related stocks (TOU, WCP) have had a nice pop so far this year. ESN seems a bit stuck. I'd really like to keep holding for a turnaround (that I hope might come in 2017-18). I realize any recovery is likely tied to the price of oil/gas but is ESM a "healthy" company based on metrics that matter to 5i? I have 4-5 years at least.

Q: Hi- the banks all seem to have done well, partially because loan loss provisions have been reduced. Is that a discretionary situation...in other words, can earnings be boosted by lowering provisions? How does that work?
How does it relate to Tier 1 capital? And what are the banks' Tier 1 Capitals now?
Thanks
