Q: Would appreciate your comments on the Merus Labs update on the review of the German Federal Joint Committee (the "G-BA") related to Emselex® (Darifenacin). A hearing is now scheduled for June 9, 2015, however, the Company anticipates that a final determination of a possible maximum reimbursement price and the specific products which will be included in the proposed class, will likely not occur during the Company's current fiscal year.
Do you think a timing for ruling until next year will create an overhang on the stock and as such hold back it's price appreciation?

Q: Hi Peter and team
I would like to add to my son's RRSP account but not sure which sector to add to with what stock choice.
Following is current holdings:
Consumer Discretionary 4% with DHX.B DHX Media
Healthcare 4% with PHM Patient Home
Telecom 15% with Telus
ETF 19% CDZ
Utilities 14% with BEP.UN Brookfield
Industrials 22% with BIN and WSP Progressive Waste and WSP Global
Energy 4% with SGY Surge
Info Tech 14% with SYZ Sylogist and CXI Currency Exchange
I am thinking of EFN Element Financial for Financial Sector
or ATD.B to increase Consumer Discretionary. Or do you recommend something else with more growth opportunity.
It would be about a 5% weighting.
Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi 5i,
Received my 5i subscription as a birthday present and I'm truly loving it.
My wife's former employer's managed RSP portfolio has been transferred (all in cash) and consolidated into her general RSP fund; she is now sitting with the following positions:
FC.DB.C 3.1%
CNQ 2.9%
VET 3.8%
EFN.N 4.4%
HCG 4.2%
DIV 4.6%
RAM770 6.4%
CASH 70.6%
What appropriate equities from your Model Portfolios would fill in the holes as to sector/asset allocation and what would be a suitable cash position? To date, we have researched and like the following equities: BNP, WSP, GUD, NPI, CCL.B
Thanks for your help,
Dean

Q: What are your thoughts on this company. They would appear to be at an attractive entry price but they are attached to the O&G sector and was wondering if the team feel they will drop more so maybe it is better to wait until the sector shows sustainable growth

Q: Hi Peter
I'm new to your service and maybe you have answered my question somewhere on you web site.
How do you feel about stop losses and if you use them how do you determine where to set them? Lately I have been wrestling with trailing stops, and trying to move my stops with as the price rises. What do you think?
Thanks Brian

Q: GDI Integrated Facility Services:
Can you have a look to this company and give me your opinion on it. I understand that the market cap is a bit small for now.

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
I'm hanging on to FSV for a while longer until I decide what to do (keep FSV, keep CIG, keep both, sell both. A cursory comparison between the 2 divisions indicate that Colliers was more profitable in 2014 with EBITDA to Revenue ratio of 9.8% vs 7.5% for FSV; a hardly sufficient basis of comparison.
What intrigues me is your rational for shedding the old FSV a couple of months ago.
You're suggesting to hang on for a while longer; but how will one decide what to do next?
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Arits, H&R or Riocan? Which one would you pick as a single REIT exposure? Is now a good entry point or should I wait for the first interest rate hike (in the US)? Looking for a long term hold +10 years.
