Q: On the fixed income side of a portfolio 5i has included both conv. debs. and prefs. Do you see them as having a similar risk profile? With new money would you choose CVD or CPD? and why? I am having a hard time finding CDs that are worth the risk, yet the rate reset pref. market seems like a "bargin" assuming rates go up in the next 5,10,15 years.
Q: Would you please give your thoughts on this company
Q: My losses are not that great but I am getting fed up with AVO. I am thinking it gets one more earnings/outlook in August and unless there are some serious positives, I am getting out. Is this broadly your own thinking, or am I missing something? Thank-you.

Q: I own twelve oil and gas stocks in a $2.5 million portfolio as listed above. My advisor recommends selling the first seven stocks on the list and adding to the last five positions. I'm primarily interested in capital gains with dividends being a secondary consideration. Would you recommend selling any of the first seven stocks? If so, what gas and oil stocks would you choose as replacements? Thanks for your advise.
Q: I would be curious to see if there is any "scuttle-butte" on Enercare. It seems to be moving up quite nicely in the last 3-6 months. In a recent reply to a member you said you would be comfortable purchasing it up to
$17.25, now that it has reached $17.75 (at time of writing) are you still
comfortable? Seems to have good momentum!
Thanks in advance

Q: This question has to do with research. Recongnia shows Ithaca as being under valued, with ESP growth rate of 35.6% and a Rate of return of 185%. Do you put much store in this kind of research.

Q: I am now flat on berkshire which I bought as a proxy for the US economy. With the shares not doing much for a while I was thinking of switching to General Electric which looks like it is preforming better in the last couple of years. What is your opinion.
Q: Bellatrix Exploration has lots of sell recommendations. Stock has gone from $10 in 2014 to $1.20 today. Nuttall says “this name has been a total disaster”. But since then, the Alder Flats plant is back in operation and there have been recent efforts to shore up the balance sheet. Do you anticipate further downside to this stock or do you think it will recover ?

Q: Hi,
My only energy exposure is WCP and TOU each at 4% (total 8% of portfolio)
(A) In the current economic environment, considering I am targeting growth, what % would you recommend for energy exposure?
(b) Do you like these two holdings for covering and diversifying my energy exposure? or are there alternatives you think might be better at this point? When I compare charts for TOU vs. PEY, for instance, my untrained eye seems to show that PEY is acting better than TOU over the last year.
Thank you

Q: I purchased about 4K of PHM from Dec 2105 thru to Fab 2016. Average cost is .45 per share. Sitting now at .16 for a total loss of about $ 2600.00 (down 65%). I don't need the money anytime soon so holding it is not an issue. Just wondering if it will be a total loss (noting you already stated previously it's a "show me" story). Any chance this goes to zero or will it just take 2-3-4 years for me to get back to 45 cents ....

Q: Gold dropped about 1.5% today, and many gold and silver stocks are down 6% to 10%. I have a high weighting in this area because these stocks have been "moving up".
What do you anticipate over the next few days for this sector? Possibly a rebound? Or might they continue to drop more?
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
