Q: My question concerns how significant a role Reits should play in an income producing portfolio. You mentioned in an answer to a members earlier question on Jan 27th that Reits and high yield stocks can still have a high degree of correlation. I look at dividend growers more so than high yields.

Also Please rank for long term holds your weighting preference in an income portolio for financials, telcos, utilities and reits. ( also any that I have missed.)

Many thanks

Paul

Q: I own some Couche-Tarde and 5i has said that it is one of its favourite stocks in the consumer sector. With annual cash flow of a little less than US$1 billion and a market cap of US$24 billion, it is trading at 24 times cash flow. This seems very high and appears to be discounting substantial cash flow growth. They have been able to grow significantly in the past. How convinced are you that Couche-tarde can grow cash flow in the future to justify its multipl? Will 5i be writing a report on ATD.b in the future?

Thanks, Gtreat service.

Q: See Exco sold off substantially here on Friday, I guess market didn't like the flat sales once currency was backed out this quarter. Good opportunity to pick up some shares here? Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi Peter and team,
I recently owned some of St. Andrew's Goldfields taken over by KGI. Nice recent run up for KGI. Based on fundamentals, do you think KGI has much more upside over the next year or even longer term, even if gold stays approx. same level? Currently have very little gold. Should I consider rolling my gains on a small position into a different gold stock? Thank you. Tulio.

Q: I currently own Concordia in my TFSA in USD. I'm down 30%. I was thinking about selling and buying Starbucks and then buying Concordia in Cdn dollars with 2016's contributions. I need some Restaurant exposure. Do I have to wait to buy Concordia in the Canadian dollar account? Can I get your thoughts on this strategy?

Q: So in mid 2013 I bought 500 shares of this at $18.50 a share. Wanting to protect my gains, I got stopped out of half my position in Jan at $38.50. Of coarse its now over $44 and is a media darling with a Globe investor 5 star rating, a favorite of Gordon Pape's newsletter and yours. I think it is ahead of its self and I want to know if you think its still good value and if further profit taking is prudent or if I should average up here. It's only a 1.25% holding for me now. I am wondering why the PE is showing a whopping 262? Thanks

Q: What is a derivative in the financial world? I have heard that derivative values issued worldwide are enormous, in gold well over 100 times the value of all physical gold existing. Are we facing a bank problem with these entities that will repeat the subprime mess again?

Q: In my overall portfolio covering all sectors, I had 4 equally weighted stocks in the industrial sector (BIN, CP, WSP and STN), but recently sold BIN. I'm considering selling CP as well and adding one or two other industrials to go with WSP and STN for a longer term hold. What do you think of this approach, and are there a couple of stocks in this sector you would recommend, in order of preference? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter & Staff: I purchased this last Nov 18/15 @ $55.58. TD rated the stock a good buy and a positive future. The stock is now $37.51 - down 32%. Is this a dud? Should I sell? Any hope of the stock returning to $55.00 or $60.00? Thanks for your opinion.
