Q: I have a one half position in each of PHM and CRH. According to their last quarter IFRS results PHM had an EPS loss 0.012 and CRH had an EPS profit of 0.02. I am considering selling my PHM and buying a full position in CRH.
What do you think of this strategy?

Regards

Q: I apologize if you have already answered this, but I can't find it. Given that the TSX will be moving Chartwell to the Healthcare sector, do you think that is an accurate allocation when trying to build a diversified portfolio? I'm inclined to leave it in Financials as a REIT. Would you agree, or should it comprise part of my Healthcare component?

Thank you.

Q: BAM represents 6% of my (mostly well-diversified) portfolio at this time. Is this too much? My aim is always growth, with growing dividend, and given that BAM seems to be going sideways in the short term, I was thinking of trimming back to 4% and using the extra 2%, along with some cash sitting in the account, to buy into something with more potential and/or more momentum. If you think this is a good idea, could you provide a favourite name or two in the Energy Sector. My only holding in this sector is TOG at this time, which represents 4.25% of the portfolio. Thanks for your help.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
All I can say is "HELP"! TDG went down today almost 10% on hugh volumne of 8.8M shares. I realize that in takeovers the purchasers shares usually decline and of course the other side is delighted with the premium and cash in their hand.Several consultants seem to think that this deal was constructive and had long term value for TDG.Yesterday Eric Nuttall on BNN was very optimistic in the long term for TDG claiming it was very cheap and made it a Top Pick.I am not sure if he was taking this deal into his calculation. In any event I would like your assessment of this deal and share holder reaction. Are they panicking...are they being too short sighted or are they smarter that management?
Your info and insights are always valuable and help me sleep at night!Ha!Ha! Thanks again!

Q: Have been doing some research on this company. Looked at fundamentals on both TD and BNS and found it odd that the figures differed greatly. Is one more current than the other, and how does one determine what is right/wrong? Am interested in this stock but would like a little more accurate information on their financials and management effectiveness. What are your thoughts? Many thanks.

Q: This is more of a comment than a question re DRT. i noticed in your last 5 or 6 responses to DRT questions it was never mentioned that insider selling has occurred. If my information is correct then it appears like almost 6 million dollars of insider selling has taken place.I'm just wondering if it should have been factored into your recent answers, thanx Norm
