Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: In response to James, thanks for the great comment and the humility to post it. I remember reading somewhere that the stock market is designed to make the majority of investors look foolish. With my increased wisdom and trading skills it now takes up to a week before the stocks I buy diminish in value.

Q: Hi Peter & co., I am reluctant to reduce my holdings in in two stocks that have each crept up to almost 7% of my over all portfolio: CSU and BCE. Are they both ok to leave at this level and hope my portfolio fills out to adjust them organically? The percentages seem to fluctuate almost daily.
Many thanks for you steady hand on our tillers!

Hello Peter
I am trying to decide on a good dividend paying "Consumer" stock as I have very little in that general category [ie non energy, non utility, non financial], and have narrowed my choice to NWC, CSH.UN, AW.UN, and CSW.A.

How would you rank these 4 choices, and which do you think will be the best choice for me for moderate long term growth and a sustainable and growing dividend and please explain your choice?

Thank you....... Paul K

Q: Peter and Team, I used to think this was just coincidence. But I’m quite positive now that I know FOR CERTAIN how to determine exactly when a stock is going to drop between 5 and 10 percent, to wit: This will occur within the two trading days following my purchase of said stock. (Latest example: Exco.) My question is: how can I harness this newfound knowledge for my own financial benefit – or possibly even for the good of all mankind? (Please do not say “buy puts”. I’m quite sure this would only cause the stock to skyrocket.) Thanks as always, James

Q: Morning,

Any thoughts on why AGT is in a down trend?

Do you have an update to your Feb 2 comments on the stock price?

Is AGT a good, safe investment in the consumer area at this time?
Thanks

John

Q: Peter & Co. I bought 200 shares of PKI at $18.03 in 2013. I am pleased with the present PKI price but I wonder if Alimention Couche Tard would be a better investment. Thanks in advance.
