Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I was disappointed to read this week that the “Growth Portfolio” won’t be available until March. I need to be very aggressive for a while. I currently hold: atd.b, ccl.b, stn, gil, aya, which I suspect will be candidates for this portfolio. Could you name a couple of others that you are considering. Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter
I would like to diversify into the health care and pharma industry. I could not find in the database any companies that have a minimum of a B rating. Are there any health care and pharma companies that you would recommend with at least a B rating. Would an ETF be better? I would like to hold it in my rsp and have a 3-5 yr time frame to hold.

Thank you

Q: I have accumulated Canadian biotech/pharma companies RX, CPH, CXR, MSL, NRI and NHC with a hope that some of them might be taken over by the others. Do you think there is a possibility of any of these companies buying the other. Who do you think will be the most probable target and who is the most likely acquirer. Thanks

Q: In spite of the much improved 2015 Q1 operating results over 2014 Q1, LMP's stock price had dropped from its highs in August/September by some 40% by early November (although it has a major rally over the last week or so but still down significantly from its highs). Your comments on this company going forward would be much appreciated.

H.S.

Q: Hello Peter,
Is there additional information on PHM from your previous answer as the stock continues to move higher? Also, what is your sell strategy for small caps versus large caps? Do you sell to get back to your weighting (assume you had 3 percent) or let the winners run until the fundamentals are no longer in play? My main concern with the latter is if the fundamentals deteriorate, the stock may take a huge hit. Any comments please ?

Q: I have a 3.85% postion in XGD right now with a 22% loss so far. My question to you is should I be cost averaging in this ETF or should i cut my losses and take that money and invest in another sector on the way up. From what i understand the recovery in gold could take years rather than months. If switching sectors makes sense what sector and what ETF would you recommend.

Q: After doubling on DHX I painfully sold half to address balance issues in my portfolio.Do you have another idea that could be as successful as Dhx regardless of sector(excluding energy).Just a comment,after this latest correction it became evident that my portfolio has to many Canadian stocks.TSE is not a diversified exchange and many good Canadian stocks where effected by Energy and Materials.So I love that you answer the odd question about U.S. stocks,it gives me some names to do homework on.
