Q: Hi Peter and Staff
The value of your service keeps shining through. At least if you sour on a stock we hear about it and if you soured enough on one in your portfolio you would drop it and we would hear about it. Jason Donville is a smart man but having added one of his Top Picks from October( Cipher) ,November (Direct Cash) and December (Biosyvent) and hearing on subsequent shows he dumped Cipher and Direct Cash since, it puts a pale note on following BNN Top Picks.....is RX a sell or hold at this time, I am under water on all 3 large.
Thanks for all you do

Q: Intertain dropped from $18 to $11 in less than a month and now erased all gains for the year. Are there any hidden problems with the stock? Any explanations for the steep decline (aside from bad markets or cashing profits)? It is now among the worst decliners in my portfolio among with few other former 5i favorites such as FM, PHM, SGY, and AVO...

Q: Greetings,

I have always wanted to own one of the Canadian railways but they have always been too expensive but it looks like a great opportunity now. I had initially wanted CNR as I thought they had less exposure to oil shipments and are about 2 pts cheaper on a valuation perspective but I may have misread that. If you had to choose one over the other today, which would it be.

Thanks for all you do!

Q: Hi peter and team,

Disappointed with the performance of these 2 today especially considering how oversold they are. Do you think the betfair merger is cause for concern?

Thank you as always

Q: Good afternoon Peter and the Team

With the latest market insanity would this be a good time to purchase HNZ-T in an RRSP for a 3+ year hold. Your thoughts.

Cheers

Q: With the recent downturn would Google or Apple be a good company to pick up.

Google seems like a company you can buy and hold onto for a very long time.

I understand US exposure isn't your focus, but you do recommend exposure to various markets for diversification.

Thanks,

Colin.

Q: I think I remember you mentioned this company in a recent response, but I can't find it. Could I please get your comments on the stock, both positives and negatives, and would you call it a "strong buy" if you still used language like that. Thanks.

Q: Hi. I own this ETF and like it at this stage because it is hedged. Even though our dollar is still going down, I figure that we should be close to the end of the spectrum. What do think of this product? Would you have another product - ETF or mutual fund - to suggest for exposure to the US with the hedge component. As a rule, do US mutual funds managers use hedging? Thanks for the good service.

Q: Hi Peter and Team, with the recent volatility in the market, do you think the gains made are head fakes and we will test lows again which would give good buying opportunities?

Thanks again,
