Q: I just noticed that my rio alto has been replaced with Tahoe, what do you think of the newly formed company.
Q: Hello, just wondering if you would hold onto prgo at this point or sell, had a 20% pop today. I have a 3% position. Thanks for your opinion
Q: I have significant positions (and losses) in my RRSP in BDI, STN and HCG that I note you have removed them from your model portfolio.
Would I be better to trim or eliminate from my RSP and put this into positions that I have not previously held from that portfolio such as ATD.B, WSP and BIN ?
(I am already well overweight in Financials and Tech, and do hold 12 of the 21 companies in that portfolio.)
Thanks for your help. My portfolios have done very well on your advice and I anticipate continued success!

Q: Hello Peter and 5i team.
I have significant losses in my Energy positions in my RRSP and have previously asked for your help in rebalancing my Financials, Tech, and Energy positions 30%, 40% and 15% the latter down from 30% last year before the energy crunch.
My questions today and I am asking for your advice on what is left in the portfolio; namely BAD, BDI, and SGY that have all been down 40-50%.
Would you continue to hold?
Replace with other Energy stocks?
Or sell and avoid the sector completely until a recovery is underway.
Thanks for all the help!!

Q: I need help with strategy. I want to sell these stocks ( AC, GPS, MTSN, NLN, QST and TWD) to make room for stocks from the new growth portfolio. Is there some timing stratagem I can employ or do I “Just Do It”. GPS & QST & MSTN are at rock bottom and I think can only go up if I wait. NLN could bounce up (or down) 10% on any given day. TWD was always just a lark. AC has upward momentum currently. BUT! All the stocks on the new list I want to buy could all be going up too. What to do? Any advice on how to approach this will be welcome.

Q: As far as charts, I've always used http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/. I can clearly read the technical indicators I need, such as RSI, MACD, OBV, and the moving averages. I also like how I can compare stocks on the same graph.
Something I found startling is that when I compare a stock such as Constellation CSU or Stella-Jones SJ, or some others, with any good etf, e.g. CDZ, CSU totally blows an etf out of the water. You can't compare a great stock to a good etf. Makes me wonder why anyone is buying etfs when they can buy a basket of great stocks recommended by 5i.

Q: Hello,
Members who experienced the technical outage last Tuesday at TD Waterhouse (WebBroker) might be interested to know that I emailed td.waterhousecompliance@td.com and told them the delay in one of my trades cost me an estimated $156.00 as the stock fell during the day. The agent said there is no policy to reimburse clients under the circumstances, but he did, as a "courtesy", reimburse the commission and gave me a $100 cash credit. He said if the trading platform is down, the only recourse is to call in the trade. He acknowledged the wait times were very long.

Q: I am significantly overweight in Financials and would like your advice on trimming/rebalancing in my RSP portfolio.
I currently have 35 % in the following: BMO, BNS,CM,NA, RY,TD in the backs, SLF and GWO in insurance - all with significant gains, and HCG and CF in other financials with a moderate loss position.
Would you trim all positions or eliminate several companies?
Where should I rebalance into companies in your new growth portfolio?
Thank you for this advice!
Peter

Q: Hi Peter
Vereseen has issued another Preferred series E Reset for proceeds of 200 million.I own the A series which yielded 4.4% at the park value issue price of 25.00
Unlike a bond they will never be redeemed at 25.00 by the company, the shares are down by about 22% which sure seems steep to me,so what are my chances of the shares getting back to 25.00 so I can recover my original investment.
Are these reset Preferreds just being flogged by the underwriters for commissions.
Is there a good chance that Vereseen might default and I loose all my money.
Finally would you recommend taking the 20 percent hair cut and dumping my shares.
thanks Gord

Q: I only have enough money to buy two of your companies in the growth portfolio. These are for very long term holds and higher risk. I want "buy and forget" two companies in my RRSP for 5 to 10 years plus, and I wonder if you favour any of them for a 5 bagger or more in that time frame. I would have leaned towards the smaller companies in the portfolio, but then I look at the rest of my portfolio and I note things like CSU have gone up for me more than five times and they weren't exactly tiny when I bought them! Thanks again.
Q: Hi Peter and Team,
This company announced the re-organization to create two oil-focused companies.
Under this structure, shareholders of Dee Three will receive 0.5 shares of Boulder Energy, and 0.33 shares of Granite Oil Corp, while the latter company will pay a monthly dividend of 0.03 of each Grsnite shares.
Do you think this is a positive move for share holders?
I am currently holding this stock, which is 3% weIghting of my p/f.
Should I continue to hold and make the transfer to these two new companies when approval is obtained?
Thank you for your advise as always.Pui
