Q: Just a response to the reader about DRIP. I just called webroker and asked them to put my dividend stocks on a DRIP. They can do it for just the stocks you want or for all of them. It was done in a flash. ( unlike many "please hold" calls!)

Q: I've read that BCE is overvalued and set for a decline by Motley Fool (a couple of times now). Do you think there is anything to this, or would you considered it a buy with the recent pullback?
Thanks,

Q: I am working towards emulating the balanced equity portfolio across various accounts.
Would you please list the ones that would be best in a TFSA and the order was in which one would buy them.
Also, I have a RESP for my 3 year old grandchild which holds PBH and KXS. What would be a good addition to this account with next years contribution?
Thank you

Q: Energy
Twenty per cent my portfolio is in energy. In descending order of size of my holdings, they include Enbridge (ENF), Inter Pipeline (IPL), Pembina Pipeline (PPL), Suncor (SU), Veresen (VSN) and Superior Plus (SPB). The rest is in a handful of upstream and equipment services, all of which have accrued losses in a registered account - but much recovered since their lows.
With the recent surge in prices and my pessismitic view of the industry, I am thinking about bailing out of the everything except ENF, IPL and PPL, reducing my exposure to energy to about 12%.

Q: HI,( Merry Christmas to you and yours !)
I've owned this stock since 2009 so I don't mind a little volatily, as I feel this company and the CEO are eventually going to be recognized as one of the premier entrepeneurial companies in Canada. Today there wasquite a turnaround on Premium Brands price, however the acquistitions seem to me to be right in line with their plans and are a good fit. Have any thoughts on the drop and the acquisitions?
Slainte,

Q: There was a discussion on BNN today suggesting a "stealth takeover" of MDA. Does this topic have any merit?
Q: Thanks for your earlier response regarding the balanced portfolio and MX. I did have one other question about dividing up names across different account types. I will be investing a decent sized amount of new money into my registered and non registered accounts which will me to hold all 23 names of the BE portfolio but I would like advice on how the names should be split up for best performance. I will be able to hold 9 TFSA, 8 RRSP, 6 CAD Cash (Non-registered). How would you suggest splitting up the BE Portfolio across the different account types? Thanks again for your help!
Q: Hi Ryan, Peter
Apparently there is some sector rotation going on. I noticed some quality names can go on sale pretty quickly, could you name some non-resources that look good to buy.
Great job as usual!

Q: I was looking up the ROE for OTC as of Sept 30, 2016. My first look was in Yahoo Finance where the ROE is given as 49.3% ttm (trailing 12 months). Sounded high, so I checked Reuters Investment Profile via my BNS site, for the same date, where the number shown is 14.94 MRI ( Most Recent Interim). HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! What am I to believe?
Can you please explain how this could happen...give me your opinion of the quality of YF data...and advise the best source for 3 yr avg ROE data. (Sure be nice if I could find it here)
Thank you.
Brian

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
You recently said in an answer to another member "We would prefer that most investors have some exposure to all sectors and don't need to play these silly rotation games." I just want to express my gratitude for this valuable advice. Also, you always stress that we should look at our total portfolio, not just individual accounts when considering sector allocation. Well, it took me a long time, but I prepared a simple spreadsheet that looks at all our accounts, and the results have been very revealing. (We were grossly overweight in some sectors and grossly underweight in others). You get a far different picture looking at ALL accounts, so thanks for this sage advice as well!

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I know you like MND as a junior gold stock and it's price is quite dependent on gold. I am working on the assumption that gold will break $1200.00 again ...probably $1300.00 and maybe even $1350.00 in 2017. Based on that outcome do you think MND is of good value if it can be purchased in the $0.68-$0.71 range? If not would you recommend another junior?
As always thanks for your competent and reliable knowledge!
