Q: Hello Peter & Team,

I apologize for asking all the US equity questions as I appreciate you have said many times it is a challenge to cover both north and south of the border BUT... the US appears to be the place to be right now if we are going to enjoy some success.

I bought TWX @ $64 and have held it for almost 2 years. There has recently been some "not so great" news coming out of this company and this sector in general as the landscape in US Media appears to be going through some changes.

I did sell 50% of my position @ $88.61 in July and now feel very happy I did so.

It is always wise to buy & sell on news and my question now is should I consider getting out completely all things considered and look elsewhere or, hang tough? And have you noticed any further rumors about a take over as this has been an item for some time?

And if I do sell, where would you suggest I look to reinvest the capital? I have approx 40% of my portfolio is U$ and presently own WFC, APPL, DIS, MCK & CBI which I am patiently treading water with.

As always thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: Hi, could you please comment on Boyd Group earnings released this morning. Also, with respect to co's recent decision to redeem all debentures maturing next year, assuming all holders decide to exercise conversion options to units of common shares, what will be total dilution ? Is it material, based on expected growth in earnings? Thanks

Q: I'm looking for Canadian blue chip stocks on the order of BAM.A and WN that in themselves are like mini-etfs. Are there many others like those? I know there are companies such as EIF that acquire diverse businesses, but I'm looking more for the blue chip category. I've owned CSU for quite a while, which I consider the kind of blue chip I'm interested in, since it it solid and serves every sector in many countries. Thank you.

Q: Overall, I have a faily well balanced portfolio based on your Balanced Equity model. However, my TFSA is now a bit of a disaster and, after Amaya's (AYA) results today, is firmly in the red. Not a place I like to be. In addition to AYA, I also own Concordia (CXR), Currency Excahnge (CXI), Macdonald Dettwiller (MDA), and Boyd. Thank goodness I own Boyd since I have large losses in the other positions.

What to do? I need to get back into my comfort zone. I have a 2-3 year horizon so unless these companies are set to recover in that time frame, I am prepared to move on.

I'd appreciate your comments and recommendations. Michael

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

The last question about CVD was on Feb. 19th, and I see that it's still in the 5i income portfolio. I'm in the process of reviewing my RRIF and note that when taking dividends into consideration, I'm still down almost 4%. Going forward, is this ETF worth hanging on to? My RRIF is well balanced with various 5i picks from all of your model portfolios. Income is fine and dandy, but I'm a bit frustrated with the negative growth characteristics of CVD, but of course am willing to wait if you're still OK with this ETF.

Thanks as always for your valued advice.
