Q: Markets have been in a nasty downturn for a couple months ago. This may be an easy question, but how often do you recommend the average investor monitor his or her portfolio, assuming there is sufficient diversification? It really hurts to see some declines in some stocks, particularly energy.

Q: Hi Guys
Took over a 50% Haircut on Morrison Supermarkets in the U.K. Sold it in early October, with the idea I would use it for a tax loss and then re-purchase it after 30 days.
My feelings are mixed now that the position has been sold for close to a month, I know the competition is fierce with the arrival of the discounters, you only have to look at Tesco.Do you see value in Morrison at these levels considering they could monetize some of the real estate value of their grocery stores.
Thanks Gord

Q: Hi Peter, Can you give us your opinion on Baytex with this tax bill that they could be hit with. Linc is http://business.financialpost.com/2014/11/04/baytex-energy-faces-57-million-tax-penalty/?__lsa=b8fc-2bc7. We are hugely underwater and the situation seems to get worse every day. Is there any reason to continue to hold this stock or should we throw in the towel.

Q: I noticed you did not sell Contrans in the model portfolio at end Oct. If I understand this correctly now that Transforce has 70% it will buy those shares pending regulatory approval but it would need something like 90% to force remaining shareholders to sell. With this as a possible outcome would you continue to hold Contras as a minority shareholders in a Transforce controlled company? If not, sell at discount now or tender?
Thanks
Thanks

Q: Hi. Some education please. In an answer yesterday you said "EPS of $0.147 and actual EPS of $0.24 (adjusted and diluted)". What do you mean by adjusted and diluted? Does it have anything to do with the $100 million they raised by selling shares? Thanks.

Q: Hi folks: Would MKP be a good "get paid while you wait" stock to own at this time?
Q: Hi Team,
In light of your answers to single stock weighting questions I am wondering if a $30,000 RESP account comprised of 9 to 10 individual stocks would be considered too risky (10-11% weithting/stock). I am fairly comfortable with risk/volatility, but would also want to preserve the funds. They have been recently switched from mutual funds; should I put a portion in ETFs? If yes, what ETFs would you suggest and what percentage.
As always, thanks for the great service.
