Q: Hi, I have minimal healthcare exposure and am looking to increase my holdings in this sector for diversification. Wondering what your top picks would be in the healthcare space within Canada for the long term? I am interested in either an ETF (XHC,ZUH,FHH) or specific Canadian healthcare stocks).

Q: Could you please update me on Sierra Metals, I bought some about 1 1/2 years ago after asking you about it. It has fallen a lot today and in checking out I see a lot of negative comments about Alberto Arias (chairman and big shareholder) the comments are about his involvement with the Brazil Colossus mine where he was involved. Are the comments (on stock house billboard fair or just a disgruntled ex shareholder mad about loosing $) the stock looks good to me on Thompson Stockreports+. Thanks (Should I dump it or buy more).

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
My wife has Glentel shares in her RRSP account which, incidently, closely mirrors your Income Portfolio. Fortunately I had not yet purchased BCE shares for her account so the takeover of Glentel by BCE worked out great. Should she elect to receive all BCE shares in the hopes that, at the very least, she will get half shares and half cash ??? I really value your opinion on this subject. Thank you very much. DL

Q: Why would Imperus halt the stock just to announce that they paid a 2nd installment to Vast? Is there more here than meets my eye, or was this an unnecessary halt? Would this account for why the stock was stronger the last week?

Q: I realize this may be outside your coverage universe but here goes. I am initiating a position in ANFI. This Indian foods producer has plummeted and yet seems reasonable by all relevant metrics. Moreover they would seem to have some structural tail winds. They look like a true value proposition in a somewhat pricey equity environment. I see no cogent reason for a 50% loss in share value. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Q: Hello,
I was doing tax loss sale in December and you suggested replacing TCK.B with FM. As you were recommending this stock before (and as a better company than TCK.B), I replaced TCK with FM but the stock started going south rather rapidly. It is about 3% of my portfolio and I am now down about $10K on this stock since my purchase on Dec 11. I am wondering whether I should patiently wait for recovery (I noticed that you added FM to model portfolio), sell it and take a loss, swap back to TCK.B. etc. What do you recommend? What are your short term and long term projections for this stock?
Thanks.

Q: Sensing 5i's eroding confidence in Surge, I have sold my shares (even though you have recently suggested holding). Now I have zero allocation to the energy sector. I want to get back in on more solid ground. Can you suggest two stocks and a methodology for easing back in? Your persistence in recommending a full and proper sector allocation has been so valuable that the strategy has more than balanced out the loss in Surge. Yet I know I need to get back into energy. Thank you, don't know what I'd do without you guys.
