Q: I bought shares in Annaly Capital Management NLY a few years ago when RBC seemed to be giving it the nod. The high yield was attractive and it did OK for a while, but it's down about 37% since I bought them. At current levels, they form about 3% of the value of my wife's and my registered investments. Is there any hope for an upick, or should I just sell and move on? It's depressing looking at that -35% figure in the Gains/Losses column.

Q: Currently own UXM for exposure to US plus a nice 3.5% dividend. Currently hold in a non-reg acct and in January I will be selling and switching it in to an RSP for tax reasons. If I rebuy UXM in the RSP do I have to adhere to the 30 day waiting period? Is there a similar or better CDN $ ETF you can recommend that will give me exposure to the US with a similar yield.

Q: Hello, could you please comment on Organovo Holding Inc (ONVO). The stock has jumped as much as 17% recently after strong second-quarter earning results. This looks like a growth company with some good potential. Would you recommend buying into the company and holding for 6-12 months?

Q: MSFT- I held this one for a while and sold at $32 due to poor Q results and negative street view. It has steadily moved up to over $38 on what news? Announced to-day a deal to share software code through another tech company the ramifications of which I have no idea going fwd as it pertains to MSFT's EPS. I'd like to own a software stock and I am wondering if I should wait on this one as it pays a decent dividend with room to go higher??

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
I came across a company that reminds me of Wilan, its called Vringo, VRNG. They have a couple patent cases which could turn out good for them leading to potential one time rewards and also royalty revenue streams. At current prices would the risk reward be favourable if at all?

Q: Hi Peter and 5i. Starbucks(SBUX) just lost an arbitration ruling and has to pay Kraft $2.7 Billion. I've been waiting to buy SBUX (for a long term hold) on a pullback, which is likely to happen from this ruling. Do you think this is a good opportunity at this time or could there be additional long term implications from this ruling? Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and Crew:
What sectors do you see benefiting next from improvements in the North American Economies, and could you recommend two or three Canadian ETF's that would take advantage of that sector shift.

Many thanks for a great website. This Q&A section is a real gem!
