Q: Hello Peter and associates, you have mentioned the savings available if one can buy several of the big banks instead of ZEB. I would like some bank(s) exposure (approx. $20,000.00 total). Of the "big six" banks in Canada can you tell which two you like the least? Also, if I buy ZEB it is eligible I understand for a partial drip program and I could reinvest in units, but if I bought a number of banks individually each quarterly dividend might not be enough to purchase a full share of each stock as the dividend is received, so I would be "eroding" some of the savings? Thank you, Bill.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Your thoughts on Raging River Exploration (RRX) would be much appreciated. Many pundits on local tv suggest a dividend is in the near future. I know how much Peter loves when a company declares it's first ever div. Am i okay to add to my position at current levels or should I wait for a pullback? If you believe a div is in the near future, any idea how much it would pay ?
Also, any chance somewhat buys them out ? if so, who is a likely suitor?
Many thanks, as always.

Q: HI 5I,
I've held J D S Uniphase (JDU) for quite some time. Is this a stock that might eventually come back to its higher past prices or is it one that might fit the below C category right now. Could you give me your thoughts on it. Thanks.

Q: My question is on Starbucks. I never really hear anything good to say about SBUX. I purchased 150 shares at $36.53 back in April 2011. I have a nice profit and I know it trades at a high multiple and is expensive. I am kind of hanging on in the hopes of a 2:1 split. What are the chances it will split and do you think it has room to go higher. If they get a miss on earnings how far do you think they will fall?

Q: Hi 5i,
Can you provide me with some information on what you would say are your sell recomendations? I searched by rating and found only 3 stocks in the d category with the most recent update of Oct/12 and 1 stock in the f- category with an updtae of Jan/12. Have there been no other losers or stocks to sell? How often do you go through the model portfolio and provide updates? What level A,B,C, etc do you think a sell fits in?
Thank you,
Colin

Q: EEP-N: Largest liquid oil pipeline in the US in which Enbridge is a stakeholder. It has a fairly large yield of over 7% and dividends have been slowly increasing over years. Although this co. is not high growth, would this be a good holding in a RRSP. Do you see any valuation risk or stagnant/lowered divided in the next 5 years?

Q: For the fixed income portion of my US holdings would stocks like MTGE, AGNC, NLY, HTS and CMO be appropriate. They all have high yields. Or does the downside risk on their share prices when interest rates increase make this an unwise investment plan?

If so, what would make more sense?

Thank you.
