Q: Hello: I have a general question, about using stop losses. Can you provide some guidance about how best to use these? I am wondering how long to put them in for, and should I think of them as soon as I buy a stock or let it go up and then put in my purchase price soon, so I don't incur any losses, for example. Any advice is appreciated.

Q: Hi Peter and thoughts on the report yesterday issued by Veritas Investment research in regards to the big 3 telecom companies in Canada and the possibility of increased competition in this space? I see Rogers took a pretty good hit. The analyst is suggesting the possibility of a 15% hit in the share price of all 3 if the regulations are changed by June 5.
Thanks.

Q: GoldCorp - the selloff continues! I'm down from $32.90 and it traded down to $27 this AM. Any changes in the fundamentals that would cause me to want to dump this? There are many out there now speculating the gold bull run could be finished, if the economy keeps on picking up. Do you still hold to your thesis of a gold recovery? Strikes me odd that GoldCorp is taking larger hits than many mid caps golds on this latest selloff.

Q: Hi Peter,

I have been following True North Apartment REIT (TN.UN TSX) for a while. The results of its recent quarter announced last week looks reasonably good. However, the price of TN.UN has dropped since then. I cannot find reason for this down shift.

Do you think the current price level presents a good chance to establish a long term holding position?

Thank you.
