Q: I invested in Methanex as a longer term investment but must admit that I do get frustrated by the volatility of the share price. More and more it seems like a trading stock as opposed to a longer term hold. About four years ago the shares were trading at today's prices with lots of downs and ups in between.. Definitely not a positive long term trend. Can you comment on this please with your thoughts as to why this company's shares should be held over the next 2-3 years. What is different now compared to the last four years?

Q: Hi there
Love your service. I have held NWC for quite a well and like that it has a rather protected market in geographically isolated places, plus it's dividend and steady price.
I was thinking of adding to my position to bring it up to 5%. I would like your opinion of their recent earnings, prospects going forward and any thoughts on their damage in their Caribbean stores e.g. although some are damaged will their sales ramp up in the rebuild.

Thanks

stuart

Q: Howdy!
I try to be a buy and hold investor with a long-term investment horizon in my RRSP account.
I have recently joined your service and am thinking about trying to reposition my RRSP account to emulate the sector allocation in your Balanced Portfolio.
About 30% of my portfolio is sitting on cash /cash equivalent investments right now; and I have almost 0% in the Technology and Basic Materials sectors.
As such, would you recommend a position in all of the nine equities that represent the Tech and Basic Materials sectors in your Balanced Portfolio?
Or have some of them (like CCL.B) peaked /not as much room left for appreciation compared to when first bought?

Q: GUD is consistently a top recommendation as a growth stock. Have you spoken with GUD mgmt. lately to be able provide any additional info. as to when/how they are expecting to invest some of their cash and therefore move the stock in the next six months?
Without any news, it seems that GUD will continue to drift down as the 'bored' investors continue to sell.
