Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I am helping my sister with her work RRSP in which she has to choose which funds to invest in and just want to know if you were to increase a fund from 2.5% to 5% (Real Estate) and sell some units in another fund that is 24% (Income Growth)of her total holding would you sell 2.5% all at once or best to sell over a period of time? She has 10 years before retiring.

Thanks
Dolores

Q: Hi Peter & Co.,
Fabrice Taylor made an interesting comment on ALA on today's Market Call show. He said his analysis of ALA's cash flow statement suggests that the dividend is being funded through borrowing and equity raises, and not cash flow from operations. This is the first time I've heard a comment like this about ALA's dividend and its implications for the sustainability of the dividend. What's your take on this?
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: In replying to Jim regarding PLI being halted you mentioned that the company had issued a press release indicating there were no material events to account for the drop. The last press release listed on PLI's website is dated Feb 6. Neither the website of TSX nor IIROC mention PLI's press release. Where did you see it? Is it available to the general public? If so can you tell me where?
Thanks

Q: I've owned and lost way too much money on Goldcorp over the years, only holding onto it to keep a balanced portfolio, but I should have sold this stock and bought another gold player a long time ago. Would Eagle Mines be a good replacement or what does 5I suggest as a replacement, with a moderate conservative profile and what kind of weighting should I hold for precious metals
