Q: The new Canada-EU trade pact will likely open many opportunities for Canadian companies, in time. Which ones might be the biggest beneficiaries long term? Since Magna has a large presence in Europe already I can imagine it would be one of many. Thanks, J.

Q: David Rosenberg from Gluskin Sheff posted a report on Friday in which he suggests that the resource sector may be in for a bit of a bounce. One of his recommendations involves companies that are involved in the construction of energy infrastructure, specifically "Engineering & Construction companies specialized in natural gas infrastructure." Are there any companies that you like that are involved in building facilities for the distribution of natural gas, both for domestic consumption and LNG for export. Thanks again for your great service.

Q: Hi team,
What is your rule of thumb for placing an on-stop sell order, besides the obvious objective of
locking in a profit? Would it be a based on a percentage move on the downside? Or is their other criteria you look at? Thanks for your help and the great service you provide.

Q: The S&P500 has been going vertical since Nov 2012, except for the mussing about QE easing. Profits have been slowing and the multiples are expanding. When do you expect a pull back in the US market?
Q: Hi 5i Gang, I saw a commercial for a software program called "vectorvest". I was wondering if any of you have heard of it, tried it, or have any concerns with it. The commercial makes it sound way too easy, but it sounds interesting non the less. Seems a little pricey as well.
Q: Hi Peter, how does one know whether or not there are too many shares outstanding for a company? For example, in a previous question regarding Bombardier, you said that they have too many shares outstanding. How can I know that Bell, Rogers, or any other company has too many shares outstanding? Is there some sort of calculations to apply? Thanks Gervais

Q: Hello
several years ago I (like many others) was blindsided by the Harper Gov't. when they flipped on their promise of taxation on Income Trusts. I can't help but wonder about future government taxation changes to Reits, with more and more corporations spinning out their realty holdings. Would appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you

Q: This is more of a followup to the question about selling in view of the mess in the US right now. I am also up allot due in part to your great advise. I did bite the bullet and sold to protect my gains. My reasoning is that the potential upside is far less than the potential downside. I would rather be a scared chicken than a dead duck at this point. Something to think about.
Q: I would like to know what the percentage breakdown in sectors would make a good stable portfolio. IE Financials/Energy/technolgy/Health care etc.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Q: Still not sure what to do. Sell or Hold my stocks. You said earlier that they would settle the Dept.Ceiling but it's getting very close now. I'm hoping i'm not asking this to late to get a answer. Would need to know by noon Oct. 16th. If they don't settle should I be selling my stocks. I'm up quite a bit so i'd hate to lose it. Hope I can get a answer soon. Thank You Very Much For All Your Help. Andy

Q: Peter,
About a year ago you were on BNN stating that you’re after the next ‘50 bagger’. A few months ago, another member asked you about your fav past picks, to which you replied Priceline and one other (I believe). My question is related to smaller cap / speculative stocks, you current favs, and is obviously geared more towards those willing to go up on the risk curve:
1. Do you have a couple, more speculative, names that you are a fan of right now (ie. what you feel can be the next 50 bagger)? Anything that you are ‘pounding the table’ about?
2. Do you have any general tips / guidelines that you can share relating to investing in these size companies (ie. Don’t invest more than ___% of your portfolio in micro cap / spec stocks?)
Thanks you!

Q: A few questions about FXM and WXM, which are Morningstar's ETFs that follow a momentum and value style respectively. These have spectacular >20 year 'theoretical' ie. backtested records. Is this something that will likely beat the TSX in the future or are there usually problems with backtested mechanical strategies going forwards? Do they trade at a premium to NAV and where do I find their NAV figure? Thanks.
Q: Hi This is a follow-up of Neil's question (Oct 11) about CIPF coverage. If I have a margin account but don't use margin or shorts, would it have the same safety as a cash account? What if I have some options? Thanks Henry
