Q: Hi Peter
Since Olympia Financial [OLY] got a listing on the TSX a month ago the stock popped up about $5. Is it still a good buy?
Thanks.. Paul

Q: Could I get your opinion on selling OSF.UN (Oil Sands Fund) and replacing it with HLP.UN (Health Lease Properties). My portfolia is over 20% energy with 0% Real Estate. I only carry dividend paying stocks and these 2 have similar yield but, OSF.UN is small cap with small trading volume and moving sideways.
Thanks for the great service.

Q: Thanks for the great service you provide!

I am impressed with the simplicity of your rating system -- the A, B, Cs of investing, as it were, is a pleasure to adopt in choosing companies for investing.

I am interested in what criteria you use in order to give your ratings -- what distinguishes an A stock, for instance from a B+ or B-? I'm assuming it's a combination of P/E and debt loads and all sorts of wonderful fundamental things, but do you have a set criteria that breaks the companies into different categories?

(If that information is posted elsewhere on the site, I haven't found it, and would appreciate being pointed in that direction.)

I am very pleased I joined 5I research as it provides me with a wonderful opportunity to consider companies I never would have given a second look at, thanks to your system ratings.

Q: Peter, I bought Dundee Real Estate several months ago at $33 before the US Feds talked of easing tapering and it nose-dived. Today it was close to $29.00. Is it worth considering buying more shares to average down, assuming that it is a reasonably safe stock or would I be better off in another reit such as H&R which appeals to me. Thanks in advance for your good advice.

Q: Peter, Lana & Co,

I am looking to rebalance approximately $25K in the energy sector (a 10% sector weighting for me). It is currently 3% Suncor, 7% Cash. You have made a couple comments recently that SU was NOT your favorite to keep / outright sell it. I have shortlisted the following companies to purchase based on your previous comments: Tourmaline, Bellatrix, Vermillion, Peyto, White Cap and Suncor.

I would like to own 3 or 4 companies moving forward and feel that Tourmaline and Bellatrix are must buys for me, but not sure where to go from there, what weights to buy the companies at or if I should be including a US name for balance? Given a fresh canvas, what 3-4 companies would you chose and how would you split a 10% weighting across those names? I would like exposure to both oil and nat gas.

Investment Profile = 30 years old, dont need to withdraw from my portfolio anytime soon, risk on.

As always - thank you for your input and this service!
