Q: Hi Peter and Team
I would like your comments and thoughts on Rogers Sugar (RSI).
I bought it for yield and has gone down 25% since I purchased it. Should I sell it and move on? If so, would you recommend a stock with reasonable yield and capital appreciation.
Thanks for your great service.

Q: I am considering the addition of 1 more consumer discretionary stock.
Consumer staples holdings are NWC, CSW.A and CCL.B
Consumer discretionary holdings are MG and CGX.
Weighting for each sector is targeted at 10%, but I am currently a bit underweight in each.
Do you think I should be adding an additional stock, or just adding more to the existing holdings?
I have been considering CTC.A, THI, and DHX, but would welcome other suggestions.
Something offering a growing dividend would be nice.

Q: I would like to park some cash in CBO.
Would not the CBO ETF value go down when interest rates increase as I believe they will in the first quarter of 2015?
Net return could be minimal or less going forward during this 6 month time frame.

Q: Hello,
This is kind of a follow up of a previous question. In my RRSP I have the following ETFs: ZRE, XRB, VBK, VCN, VDY, VXUS and XSB.
I would like to replace XSB (around 30K) with something that provides more growth. I was thinking an energy basket, either an ETF or 2-4 energy (related) stocks.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you
Marios

Q: Hi Peter & team. I would like your views on RON.PR.A. I realize that the company has been struggling for the past few years, which may explain the price of these preferred shares. I like the fact that it is a reset type. Do you think it represents good value? Do you think it is too risky in a well diversified portfolio, where the weighting would be less than 2% overall? My other preferred holdings are HPR, EQB.PR.A and CF.PR.A. Thanks again.
