Q: What are your views on BDI results. I sold ET to replace it with BDI as results of ET were weak. I also purchased AQN on the recent weakness. Do you think these moves make sense?

Q: I was put onto Garth Turner's bog "Greater Fool" and found his views interesting. For those who don't know, Garth Turner predicts a U.S. style economic crash in Canada based on the fact that Canadian's today save very little and have an larger appetite for debt. He reports that as a population, Canadians are second only to Greece in the rate we are increasing our debt and that Canadians as a whole now carry over 1.82 Trillion in debt; an amount that eclipses the countries GDP. My question is this, if Garth is right and we are on the brink of another financial collapse, what sectors/ stocks would be most likely to be 'safe' or benefit? What stocks do you recommend in this environment? I would appreciate your view and insight into Mr. Turner's positions.

Thanks in advance.

Q: You have often mentioned that you feel holding gold is good "insurance". Having said that, should one still consider it as part of the materials portion of a portfolio or does it tend to stand in a class by itself. I already own CHEM.UN and G and wanted to add SJ. That would make me a little overweight in that sector but I find it hard to see SJ as comparable to G.

Thanks for the invaluable insight.

Q: I purchased a small non registered portfolio for my 16 yr old son in Dec 2014. It consisted of equal holdings of BTE (-30%), COS (-51%), CPG (-20%) and WJX (-32%). It started with $4000, the present day value of this portfolio is $2700. The goal for this portfolio is long term growth.
My question is do I hold and wait for an oil recovery or is it better to sell all or some to create a portfolio which hopefully will produce superior long term results. We were being greedy jumping on the oil bandwagon looking for the large gains with big dividends - seems it was a mistake.
I have learned from your service the benefits of diversification and would greatly appreciate your advice on how to fix this for my son.
Also, I would like to know is it better to put your new growth portfolio in a non-registered or a registered account.
Thanks,
Michele
