Q: 1) I understand uranium(yellow cake) is on an upward trend. Is there a website where one can access this information.
I understand U-TSX(labrador iron) is not a true indication of uranium prices.
2) Iron ore, it is my understanding that some of the production for this commodities has been closed down. So is there some way to check to see where the supply/demand ratio is changing to a positive outlook. So the question is, LIF-TSXLabrador Iron) do you feel the div. for this stock is safe.
3) Quarterly reports,what is the easiest way to fine out when a company is going to submit the report, & would they be the same time each year.

Q: 5-I

I currently own BCE and Telus. I want to increase my exposure to Telco for dividend income purposes 7 years down the road. For diversification and income purposes do you see any reason to add any other names such as Shaw Rogers Quebecor or Corus or simply add to the two that I own.

Many Thanks for the great work.

Q: Hi,

I wanted your opinion on the following stocks that tanked for me
TCK.B down 59%
TOU down 39%
CXI down 28% (in TFSA)

They were all 2% holdings in my portfolio....but not any more. Is it time to sell, hold or double down? For TCK & TOU I could sell for capital loss and buy them back in January if you think there is value with those stocks? My time line is at least 5 years, if not 10 - 15 years.

Thanks

Q: I'm looking for Canadian blue chip stocks on the order of BAM.A and WN that in themselves are like mini-etfs. Are there many others like those? I know there are companies such as EIF that acquire diverse businesses, but I'm looking more for the blue chip category. I've owned CSU for quite a while, which I consider the kind of blue chip I'm interested in, since it it solid and serves every sector in many countries. Thank you.

Q: Overall, I have a faily well balanced portfolio based on your Balanced Equity model. However, my TFSA is now a bit of a disaster and, after Amaya's (AYA) results today, is firmly in the red. Not a place I like to be. In addition to AYA, I also own Concordia (CXR), Currency Excahnge (CXI), Macdonald Dettwiller (MDA), and Boyd. Thank goodness I own Boyd since I have large losses in the other positions.

What to do? I need to get back into my comfort zone. I have a 2-3 year horizon so unless these companies are set to recover in that time frame, I am prepared to move on.

I'd appreciate your comments and recommendations. Michael

Q: I am taking my lumps with LIQ, DCI, CVE and CPG. (Down $24K) Collectively they represent 10% of my RRSP account which has 26 holdings. All dividend payers. I rely on this account as my backup and withdraw every year to maintain my life style.

My question is: Do I ride it out or do I sell them. What should I keep and what should I dump. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
