Q: Hello,

I have this dogs and sitting on them for a year and they don't go anywhere. I'm thinking of selling them for tax purposes. The question is do they represent value and buy them back in 30 days or buy something else now that have better momentum?
If you have 200k, would you deploy it now or sit tight until market gets some direction. If now what would you pick.

Thank you
M

Q: Hi, Peter For info only, publish at will
Another reason Health Care was weak Monday, was the passing of the TPP (or Trans Pacific Patrnership), which according to The Hill, a Beltway newsletter which provides daily updates,

” Trade officials from 12 countries agreed Monday to shrink the length of time that pharmaceutical companies can receive monopoly rights for certain drugs, a provision that is already threatening to incite a Big pharma rebellion on Capitol Hill…Brand-name companies would receive up to eight years of monopoly rights for drugs known as biologics — a decrease from the current 12 years provided under U.S. law, according to officials involved. The final language of the deal has not yet been released.”

Hi Peter

In your comment to Robert today you said with reference to Fiera : " Its association with National Bank has not helped recently, with the bank's very bad news."

Comment to Linda yesterday : "We do not like the news, and do not like the dilution from the equity issue. We are also believers in the cockroach theory: i.e. there is usually not just one problem. Shares are also already $1 below the issue price, not a good sign."

Comment to Margot : "We do not think the bank is in 'trouble' but clearly it is concerned about the economy enough to want to shore up its capital."

So My Question is : Can you clarify your opinion? NA makes up 3% of my portfolio. I own 4 other banks in larger amounts. Do you really think NA is headed for serious trouble and should I just sell it [at a 7% loss] or is it safe to hold for years expecting nothing more than the dividend income?

Thank you..... Paul K

Q: This company hasn't figured in your questions section for a long time. Browsing through the questions and answers it appears that Silver Wheaton, First Majestic, Pan American, Fortuna are your favourite Silver stocks. Do you still hold the same view? What are your thoughts on EDR? Any other thoughts on Silver and specific stocks in that sector. ( Too many questions in the Gold sector and not that many in Silver!)
