Q: Hello,

I purchased this stock at $68 about a year ago. Is there any future potential for this company to get back to these levels? I understand the Alberta oil prices have had an impact but I believe that the falling stock price runs deeper than this. One needs a lot of patience but does that equate to 1 year or 5 years? Should I get out now and look for better opportunities elsewhere. Which stock would be a good replacement for ACQ? Thanks for your assistance.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I am aware that you are lukewarm on the stocks so far and I share that concern. I have a family member wanting to invest a small allocation in their portfolio to this industry.
Could you please outline your current valuation and other concerns with the stock prices so far and then indicate and if you were to do an investment in one company in the industry which one and why
Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: Hello Folks:
Thank you again for your terrific service!
I am a 71 yr. old investor who has never kept any amount of cash in our accounts.
I feel there may be a serious negative re-evaluation approaching for world
markets; therefore considering moving to a half cash position, as we rely on returns for a good portion of our income. It is a difficult choice as dividend and rising equity prices have been very good since the recession, however nothing remains stagnant.
Our portfolio is primarily large cap US stocks and some quality dividend paying Canadian equities.
As always, I appreciate your point of view and suggestions
Brian

Q: I own crh in my tfsa, the loss is 80% and the current market value of the stock is just over $1400. I concur that the stock is on a losing ride and will probably fall even more for stock loss selling but since that doesn't apply to me. Is there a case for just holding on to a really lousy stock and perhaps there might be a turn around way down the road. As always thank you.

Q: I bought Ric just slightly before the agi announcement. I see that the vote will take place next week and it looks like voters will vote for the takeover of ric. I would like to know if there is a good enough reason for me to keep ric.
I already have KL and some MUX which seems not to be very robust these days. What are your thoughts please. Thank you.
