Q: Hi there. I have very little weight in pharma/biotech sector and very little weight in commodities sector including zero weight in gold/silver. I'm overweight in financials and tech stocks and equal weight in industrials. I Have an addt 25k to invest. Looking for high potential growth over the next 12 months. Not concerned about short term volatility. Can you recommend 2 Cdn stocks and 2 U.S. stocks to consider? What sector do you see having the most potential upside in 2017? Thx for opinion.

Q: Good morning
I was wondering what are your thoughts on Hudson Bay company (HBC). I know retailers are hurting now, is HBC a good value right now? I Recently heard that hbc property holdings are worth quite a bit and that HBC maybe spinning off REIT? What are your thoughts on this and HBC taking over MACY'S.
If HBC is not good, do you have an alternative you recommend?

Q: Hi, I need to pull some money out of my TFSA and would love your thoughts on what to sell. I'm looking at TOY, NFI, and EIF as my "flatliners" (I haven't had them long). Do you have advice about which to drop, or perhaps they'll all shine in the end so I should just trim each one? I will be able to buy back mid-year. Thanks!

Q: Hi is it possible to explain how this occurs or if it does
A company does a financing at say $1.35 with a 1/2 warrant (each full warrant entitles holder to acquire a share at $2 fr 24 months) and the share price is $1.52 (using #s from EMH.v's recent financing as example)
So the share price drops as share holders sell to get in on the deal . My QUESTION is do they also short and use the $1.35 as insurance ?
Hope that makes sense ,

Q: I'm looking to diversify my portfolio by adding some US oil & gas companies, specifically EOG Resources, Range Resources or Chesapeake. Could I get your views on these and which order you would rank them for buying now (I know your coverage is for Cdn stocks so appreciate any thoughts you can provide!).

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Thank you for all the great work that you put in. My daughter's RESP is doing quite well thanks to your model portfolios.

Currently in my TFSA, I am holding DSG, FTS, NFI and WPK. I would like to add a fifth stock to my portfolio. The time frame for the TFSA is 10+ years. Any suggestions to increase the diversification?

Thanks in advance.

Q: In a large cash acct, I have 1 loser-Surge. Based on existing losses & my opinion that it will take several years to break even, I plan to use the loss against similar gains in one of two existing stocks that have not shown much upward movement over the last year or so. They are BCE & LNR. Obviously, BCE has the much larger dividend but, LNR has likely more upside. Your opinion & rationale is valued. Thank you.

Q: The TSX identifies AIF as technology and KWH as utility. I'd be inclined to categorize AIF as Real Estate, as it seems it might move more in line with that sector. I can understand KWH as a utility, though it might also be considered energy. Can you give me your thoughts on the sectors; would you stick with the TSX?

Thank you.
