Q: Hi Peter and Team,

SPB hasn't been performing too well lately, and I'm wondering if their recent announcement "Superior Plus Announces December 2015 Cash Dividend and Reestablishment of Dividend Reinvestment Program" will help the stock going forward. The DRIP will apparently have a 4% discount. Should I hang on to my position in SPB in an otherwise balanced portfolio, and enroll in their DRIP? SPB is held in my RRIF but their are other dividend payers that cover my mandatory withdrawals.

Thanks as always for your valuable advice.

Q: Peter; First a Merry Christmas and the best in 2016- can you get oil up to $60.00 ! But I want to thank you for your comments in the spring of 2014 re TBE. I sold mine at $1.85 and sort of forgot about it until today when I saw the report on them trying to sell the company- and the price of just .12 cents. Really a lesson in taking a loss quickly and not averaging down. Hope the Fotums work out. Rod

Q: My timing was terrible on purchasing and holding 200 ACQ shares: I'm down 72%!!! Should I throw in the towel and move on? Unfortunately I don't need any more capital losses as I already have too many!

Quote of the Day

"So I genuinely believe that if you can find a financial advisor who's trustworthy in the true sense of that word—someone who is competent and knowledgeable and whose services are fairly priced and who isn't rife with conflicts of interest, you're a very, very lucky investor."

Q: I currently have 25% of my assets in $US but only 20% is in US stocks. The other 5% is EEM. I would like to increase the US component to 25% but that would give me a 30% $US exposure. While I think that the US dollar will remain strong for the next year, I am wondering if 30% exposure is too high. Should I sell EEM, which hasn't done much but is my only international exposure (other than multinational US companies), move up to a 30% UD dollar weighting or stay the course?

Thank you for your insight.

Paul F.
