Q: Hello,

Since Jason Donville recommended Biosyent (RX) on December 24 I was in on what I perceived was a dip and luckily out again before it dipped another big chunk. Similar thing with Knight (GUD).

My question is whether there is a price point at which either of these become "no brainer" buys? For an investor willing to absorb some risk are we near that point with each stock at $7?

Q: Hi Peter,

I need your advice on the oil and gas stocks in my portfolio. Presently I own Chevron (CVX.US) and Crescent Point (CPG) (4% and 3% of my total portfolio, respectively). I need to sell my Chevron position to pay for upcoming USD expenditures. I was thinking about replacing Chevron with a Canadian company or companies in the energy sector but am struggling with a replacement. What do you suggest? Also, should I increase my exposure to the energy sector at this time? For your information, I have a well-diversified portfolio of 20 individual stocks with about 70% in ‘blue-chip’ companies. Thanks for your help, I have really appreciated your past suggestions.

Q: Please give your comments on ZST as an ETF to compliment XBB & CBO which I already own. Is this a good ETF to hold while waiting for a BOC increase? Also, can you explain why CBO & ZST share prices slowly erode over time while XBB has slow gains?
Thanks,

Q: 5i
Is it still a favourable time to invest in U.S. Stocks . I currently don't have any U.S. Stocks but have been quite pleased with the majority of my Canadian stocks . I'm wondering though that maybe it's time to branch out south of the border . Is it a concern when purchasing U.S. stocks that the Canadian dollar has dropped so much thus making U.S. stocks more expensive to buy or does it all balance out in the end when the stocks are sold and converted back to Canadian dollars ?
That being said what are your thoughts on Wab , sna , and fisv . Buy , hold or sell ?
Thanks
Bill

Q: I have a small position (2%) in Senvest stock, which is a montreal-based value hedge fund. They have been growing book value quickly, recently to $305 while the share price is about $190. Barron's just listed them as #2 in their top 100 hedge funds ranking. I'm wondering if you have heard of these guys and whether you endorse them as fund managers or have heard otherwise, because I am thinking of taking it up to a 4% allocation. Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter ... I'm looking for another stock for my TFSA which currently includes BEP.UN, CCL.B, ET, XTC, HCG, BIN and MDA. I am looking at both CNR and CLR which have each pulled back around 20% recently. Which of the two would you prefer over the next 1-2 years? Or, perhaps you have a better suggestion? Thanks for the great service.
