Q: I own 275 shares and thinking to sell, reasons are I don't shop there at all and when I have, I find it time consuming and confusing. Is that a valid reason or should I just go by the numbers- revenue, balance sheet and so forth...

Q: Hi Peter and team
It is time to invest this years contributions in my 35 year old's RRSP which is currently structured: 5% Sylogist(SYZ),15%Telus(T),3% Surge(SGY),18% CDZ,13% Brookfield Renewable(BEP.UN), 4% DHX media(DHX.B), 4% Exco (XTC) and 38% cash.
What would be your recommendations for deploying the cash for diversification and growth, indicating if possible percentages. I have been considering Currency Exchange (CXI) and Alimentation (ATD.B) and some Heath Care but unsure of which ones. Should I consider increasing Exco to an 8% position. I would greatly appreciate your views on this.
Regards
Kathy

Q: Hello Peter et al.

With the recent news about the Bond proposal and having 40% of the bond holders already approving it, does this stock have a chance to rebound? The meeting is scheduled for the 27th of this month. Most people think it is a dream deal with only 10% dilution. What is your opinion? I know before you said it was essentially a lottery ticket but do you think the odds of this turning around have gotten better with this deal.

Thanks,

Brendan

Q: Hello Peter

I'm looking at ways to reduce volatility of my portfolio. I've had some success shorting. However I'm finding it very tiresome to always be on the look out for shorts. Can you recommend another service or a strategy...or even a book that can help me with this process.

Also it would be wonderful if you offered a short portfolio to compliment your other portfolio's on the service.

Thanks

Nicholas

Q: Hi all, We currently have a 5% position of our portfolio in RRX, another 5% split pretty evenly among cpg, tou & ppy. Given the current news about a possible significant drop in oil prices, would it be wise to reduce our positions in some or all of the above now and get back in later in the year?
Thanks a lot
John

Q: Which is riskier PLI or CRH? If you were going to invest today for a 3 year period would you go with PLI or CRH? On a valuations basis considering growth potential, is CRH still "cheap" relative to its peers even after the recent increase?

Q: What do you think of Callidus and asset-based lending in general? It seems they fill a niche above some of the 'factoring' companies in terms of finance. This seems to be a growth area. Are they fairly valued here? Thx.

Q: Hey Peter & Team

recently Insider Money reported that John Paulson at the end of 2014 purchased a significant number of shares (9 mill) in MNK. Since then the share value has seen a 21% appreciation and in the past year, shares have increased by by over 45%.

As a retail investor, it is becoming obvious we are the dummies out here and that hedge fund managers and the like are getting information well ahead of us.

Is there a way us little people are able to get a hold of information like this in real time?

And how should we be using the 5i site to get concurrent information on companies that have a change which will effect share values

And what are your thoughts on MNK moving forward?

Any www sites you can provide that might help us understand what big/smart money is doing in real time would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all you do
