Q: Hi I have some money that I want to park for a few years in a couple of stocks that are considered conservative. I am thinking of ALA and Chemtrade. They both seem reasonably priced. I will be reinvesting the dividends. Are these good choices and can you recommend a couple of others? I have considered SLF but it sure moves quickly based on interest rate news or rumours. Thanks, Bill.

Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (BIP.UN)
Q: Hi Peter,
Any idea why Brookfield Infrastructure partners is going down? I was thinking of taking a full position of 5 % rather than diversifying with Stantec etc. Also, what is the reason for stocks such as Hudbay Minerals and Agrium to continue to go up and is this sustainable? I have noticed the canadian banks and insurance especially TD Bank and Manulife have gone up alot lately. Do you think it is time to trim them as they look over bought. Lastly, can you comment on why Ceapro and B2Gold are taking a hit. The big prediction was gold was going to go much higher after Trump, but all of a sudden, gold continues to experience declines. Thanks very much.

Q: Good Morning.
I would like to buy stocks in this dip. Which would you recommend of the ones I noted or others? As well, a small position in each or full positions? I currently own full positions in SIS, OTC, EFN, ECN, GOOGL and HOT.UN and small positions in TIO and CXI (to name some). I also have a large position in US cash. Any suggestions for it?
Thank you!

Q: Hello,
I have a diversified portfolio across all sectors. I recently sold most of my big losers like CXR and PHM etc. I'm now left with the following three losers: MG, ECN/EFN and AD.
I just don't know what to do with these. I'm down about 25% in each. I regret not selling CXR once it was down 25% and instead took a 75% loss and don't want to be in that position again. Should I sell any of these? MG seems to be the best company of the three, but it hasn't recovered this year like other stocks (at least not from where I bought) and now with Trump in there are a lot of fears about the auto sector, and I'm worried it will keep going downhill as NAFTA discussions begin. Anyways, I'm interested in what you think I should do with these three companies.

Q: I am considering taking a position in either Absolute Software or Chesswood Group as I am looking to increase my exposure to small cap with dividends ( I am particularly light on tech ). I would appreciate your choice between these two, and your reasons. Many thanks.
