Q: Hello Peter
I am currently down about 30% on MG which is 5% of my portfolio.
I hold 60% of MG in unregistered account & 40% of MG in my TFSA acct.
My concern is would it be wise to sell it now and buy instead NFI or SIS and if so which one would you prefer first NFI or SIS, which one has more "growth" left.

Thanks for great service!

Q: Can you give me your thoughts on Jerome Hass, and the Lightwater Funds, both the Nimble Fund, and the Long/Short Fund? Do you know him? Have you heard of any problems or issues with the company, and can you comment on the pair trade approach? To me, it seems like a logical way to mitigate market and sector risk. Thanks for your help.

Q: Peter and team:

I am currently down about 20% on TFI in a well balanced long term hold portfolio.
I am considering cutting my losses and buying NFI. Would you consider these in the same "sector", and what is you opinion of this switch.
My concern is how much upside is left in NFI. I have owned it in my kids RESP and done well (2.5x), but am wondering how much "growth" is left.

Than you as always for a great service!

Q: Hello,

RCH has moved up nicely, presumably in anticipation of recent earnings. Can you please comment on their numbers and provide thoughts on the company going forward. You have considered it to be somewhat expensive in the past and wondered if this is still the case. I own it and plan to hold. Would you agree?

Thanks

Q: With regard to a question earlier relating to CZO 30%rise in price, it must be either on the 5th or 6th July, a BNN Market Call Guest was very excited when he recommended this Co. as one of his top picks. He was a first time Guest and the reason for his top choice was Czo has the patent for extracting something from the Oats and etc. I think my co-member can obtain this info from BNN.

Q: I've decided to sell DH as other than the dividend I don't think it now has the management or leading edge technology to compete in the US anymore. They had a good business for many years but have not kept pace. Looking for a replacement in a RIF which includes MIC, IPL, EIF, KXS, ESL, KEY & WSP. Your recommendations. Thank you.

Q: I've own WSP since 2014, though still sitting on a 10% gain, I'm frustrated by the poor results of the last year or so. If I choose to reduce this holding, I would like to pick up something in the renewable energy sector. The two candidates I have in mind are BLX and INE. Which one of these two, in your view, has the higher growth upside and the potential for sustainable increase in dividends? Or staying with WSP would be a better option than switching to either of these two?

Thanks.

Q: I realize these two companies are very different, but both have had a nice share price reduction recently (well, nice if you're a potential buyer!). Straight-up question: Which would you choose for a better TOTAL return over a 5 - 10 year time frame?
And do you see a material difference in net risk between the two over such a time frame? Thanks!

I own sj, csu, esl, and gib.a. All of them are down more than 10%-15%. My weightings range from 2 to 4 percent. Is it best to just keep the weightings as they are for long term or reduce them. Much appreciated.Umed

Q: Another brutal day for Linamar on the markets. On 6/28 you advised it was looking "interesting". Does it look even more interesting today? I have a minor position taken about 90 days ago and I hate to catch a falling knife but my hands are already bloody...think its wise to expose even more skin?
