Q: Hello Peter,
With the increase in interest rates, i was expecting Sunlife and Manulife to go higher but they have dropped. Any comments? I want to increase my weighting to 5 percent for Enbridge and Alimentation Couch Tard but both stocks are not responding well eventhough Alimentation had good results. Would 5 percent be too much? Also, if you had a choice between fairfax africa and india, which one would you prefer and finally, I was thinking of Jean Coutu for a 5 year hold. Can you see it doubling in 5 years? Lastly, all the stocks that the shorts went after have not really recovered (CXR, HCG, CRH, etc). What does this say about the analysis that was done by various managers including ones on BNN? I am not blaming anyone but it is discouraging that the shorts were right. Thank you

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: I currently owner PONY and I'm down almost 50% on what I own, it only represented 3% of my portfolio when purchased, I'm thinking of averaging down on it, is that a good idea or not.
I've been looking at Neo Lithium for a few weeks now and was thinking of purchasing some and wanted to know what you think of it if you follow it at all?

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: I have BNS, RY, SLF and FSZ in equal amounts in my "Financial" basket and need to add another name to get my financials weighting to 15%. Can you suggest a new stock and/or a etf (CDN or US stock / etf) to compliment my current holdings OR would you just add to the 4 stocks that I have? Thanks
