Q: Hi guys, just like to hear your analysis of ADW.A and if you could speak to the risks associated with some of the dependence the company has on LCBO / Gov't of Ontario support through policies. I am looking at the non-voting shares as a portfolio diversifier. Thanks, Mike.

Q: Could you please give me an updated opinion on ESRX? Could you also recommend 2-3 large cap US stocks for long term holding, likely to provide some growth and some dividend payment (my US holdings are ESRX, MMM, HCLP, JNJ, NVS and IWO)? Thank you for your excellent advice and congratulation on your charitable work.

Q: I would be interested in your opinion about Vectorvest methodology and the opinion of any members that follows them. I have twice tried their methodology unsuccessfully. But with their claim of huge returns I am wondering if it was the way I applied their methodology or the short time I used them, that was the cause of my failure.

Thanks

Q: GE seems to be divesting its low margin businesses and becoming more of an industrial company again. I would expect a smaller and more profitable GE going forward. It's PE is below the general market and pays a good dividend. Is this a pound the table buy considering its fundatmentals and growth profile?

Q: Hello Peter, I have new cash in my already-diversified RRSP. I have a moderate risk tolerance and am seeking long-term growth in plan value (whether the growth is from dividends or gains.) I currently have half positions in BIP.UN, BPY.US, CVE, CCO, CJR.B, ECA, POT and WIN. Can you please suggest which two or three of these to 'top up'. And if you would suggest jettisoning any of these completely, please share your thoughts.

Q: Hi in my TFSA I have 2 small cap investments PLS and LOY whose value has dropped more than I anticipated recently. I understand there is a possibility of a strike on the west coast which could affect the value of PLS but do not know of any other reasons for the drop in value except for the affect of the overall correction in the marketplace. Is there anything I am missing?
Thanks for your help

Q: Hi Peter and company. Could you take a look at the numbers released for this company. I listened in on the conference call and it seems like the balance sheet is improving and will continue to do so. My issue is the revenue and block trades of selling lately. Have you herd of downgrades or institutional selling. If possible I would like to know if you will be updating your model portfolio soon in light of the sell off...new companies to purchase with this pullback etc.
Thank you Jason
