Q: I am looking to make an investment in a company that produces rare earth metals. What would you consider the best TSX listed companies in this sector. Do you think any potential trade conflict between Trump and China could have an effect on the rare earth metals market. Thanks

Q: Hi team, I've owned 1000 shares of PDN from 2007, my break even cost is 1.95 if I buy 4000 more today it would drop to .44 cents. I would do this only with the hope of a takeover, firstly, would this be possible considering its debt. I know you are not big fans of this, but what are your thoughts it's .04% of my portfolio. Thanks, and all the best for the New Year, Nick

Q: When I hear money managers,people calling into business shows........ and they use the phrase " time to take profit" would that mean to sell part or all of the position?

For example I have a diversified portfolio to produce income. About 7% in BMO with its recent run up and appears to be peaking, so if BMO continues to drift down would one sell it all and wait for the down trend to stop then buy back the same amount of shares at this lower price? Or sell enough to reduce weighting to 4-5 %?

Thanks in advance and for the great service.

Q: I have the above investments in my TFSA, TOY and MX being new. This account has been flat all year, so I am trying to make some changes. FB and AQN the worst, so I am looking to exchange those.
Now, looking at FB it is a strong buy/ buy. Are you expecting any growth this year, or should I sell. I have been looking at something with high yield like STB and PWF. Are they safe enough. I am going to use some of this money in one year.
Thanks for your opinion

Q: Bad day on the market. Virtually every sector is down but one. Real estate. I'm baffled by this. Almost every single REIT is up today, and REITs are performing well in New York as well. All the 'pros' have been saying that this is exactly the wrong sector to be holding now, that REITs will suffer more than any other sector in a rising interest rate market. Yet on the last day of trading it seems like everyone is tossing tech and everything else overboard and gobbling up REITs. Does this say something about the market going forward in 2017, that perhaps people are hedging their bets a lot and don't believe the "Trump Rally" will lift all the cyclical stocks after all?
