Q: Further to Paul's MISC question; What is the best way to rebalance? A simple calendar approach? If so how often? At one extreme, one could rebalance daily, but incur heavy transaction fees and possibly sell one's winners way too early.

At the other extreme, one could rebalance annually, or some longer period. Transaction fees would be minimised. But this approach might miss cycle tops (and bottoms).

If a calendar approach is not used, then how is discipline maintained?

Q: What is the reason why DDC has fallen from $24 to $15.40 in 3 months. With the dividend of over 3% and possible recovery in the share price, would this not be a good investment for a 3-4 yr. time frame? What makes the price of diamonds go up?

Q: I'd like your comments on the following article from the Financial post:

http://business.financialpost.com/investing/trading-desk/switching-from-growth-to-value-stocks

The article suggest the the current environment may be more suitable for value stocks versus growth equities. Given 5i tends to favour growth (I think), what do you think of this? How does one know when a stock is too expensive in relation to its growth?

Q: Mr. Hodson,you seem to have both admiration and some ambivalence towards VRX, which might have some Nortel flavour to some extent. In fact, you feel it might have too much debt, and this makes it a risky stock.

Q: Hello Peter et al,
I am still holding the Tuckamore Debs TX.DB.B. They mature Mar 2016 and are supposedly secured. Insiders own about 15% of the common stock and I thought their holdings would go to zero if necessary to pay off secured debt. But with the debs trading at about 80 there appears to be a fly in the ointment. Any thoughts as to what Mar. 2016 might bring.

Q: Now with Catamaran Com being removed from my portfolio I am wondering if I should replace with with GUD or with several of the ones mentioned in the growth portfolio? I have no health care stock currently. I also have no tech stocks and wondered if this would be better than a health stock?
