Q: Hi

I am following your model portfolio in my RRSP and could not be happier. I make regular contributions to my account and I am wondering if there should be any strategy involved in adding to my current positions. My regular contributions are not large enough to be able to maintain the current balance across all stocks but I did not want to sit on cash unnecessarily.

Thanks and please keep up the great work.

Q: Question: How many years of significant growth do you think Home Capital Group (HCG) have ahead of them? I see the growth is there as we move from 2013 into 2014 and even with HCG's recent move its valuation is still attractive with a p/e in the low 9s using 2014 earnings estimate. However, do you still expect ok growth beyond 2014 or do you see HCG turning more into a MIC (Genworth) with an attractive valuation, a steady dividend but also low earnings growth?

Thanks, as always.

Q: Peter and Team,

I saw Christine Hughes who manages the NAI Northwest Asset Allocation Mutual Fund on BNN on Friday and was interested in her and her fund and like her way of looking at things. I am curious on your thoughts of that fund and the manager and am also interested in your thoughts of that fund compared to Jean-Francois Tardiff's JFS.UN. I like JF a lot and we all know he made money in 2008 when others didn't.

Thoughts?

Q: Prometic Life Sciences (PLI):
I have a 5% tolerance on risky stocks. Would you consider doing a report the above . At least I would like to have your opinion on the management, their approach of partnering with others and the "INTEL INSIDE" approach they adopted for their filter
technology. I know that it is not your usual kind of company but you may, hopefully, consider it. I have a Small position but want to consider buying more.
As always many thanks..
