Q: Hi,

You've mentioned on BNN you invest in hedge funds in Canada run by friends and former colleagues. Any of them you would recommend as part of a diversified portfolio?

Thanks.

Q: I've held TRP as a major position in my portfolio for years and it has increased only 3.5%. I always hope the XL pipeline will be approved, or the pipeline to the east coast, but I'm getting tired of waiting. Should I keep hoping or sell now and spread the $30 Gs around to better things? I also own PPL and IPL. What is your opinion on ENB? It always seems to me that the PE ratio is too frothy.

Q: Hi Peter and Team, Is there anything going on at KBL that would account for the 2.91% decline today, or is it just normal market activity? Thanks in advance for all your timely and pertinent advice.

Q: There seems to be a consensus that rising interest rates will benefit US banks. Does this favour the big investment banks over other commercial banks? If so, XLF might be the way to go as it is heavily weighted by the big banks. If not, what would be a good alternative US bank ETF?

Q: I know that you dont follow US stocks as diligently as you do Canadian securities. Would you feel comfortable commenting on NXPI? I have held it for some time and have done very well. It has taken quite a hit in the last few weeks. I would appreciate your comments and would you recommend holding it. Thanks

Q: Technical indicators are strong showing a possible 22% increase or as much as $24.00-25.00 increase. There has been some inside selling, and wonder if this would be a good entry point.
Can I please have your thoughts, towards a new entry on this, and would you consider this a satisfactory investments for a tsfa, or RRSP.
Thanks

Q: This stock has lost a quarter of its value since April 20. I realize there was a financing issue, but the steady downward momentum seems to be accelerating. I know growth stocks are volatile, but 25% is a serious fall with no end in sight. Last night on BNN Eric Nuttall described PHM is wildly overpriced and likely to take a huge fall if there is a market correction. Is it time to jump ship?

Q: From the Tuesday Financial Post an amazingly candid inside look at the stock analyst business: http://business.financialpost.com/investing/investing-pro/five-investing-tips-from-a-former-sell-side-analyst
I'll never forget the Big Bank analysts who had buys on Sino Forest; they had visited the tree plantations and seen for themselves with conviction, presumably.

Q: Good Afternoon,
I just listened to the conference call from the end of April. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I heard them say that a realistic longer term goal is now $1Bill in annual revenue? Not sure if I misheard them but they also said their EBITDA margin currently is around 60-65%? And companies like this could trade for 10-13x EBITDA? Thank-you
