Q: Article in this weekends Globe suggests defense and aerospace is a good place to put money with countries putting in extra effort to defend against terrorists. Berman mentioned Alliant Techsystems as well as others. Would you recommend following this path and perhaps suggesting a Cdn possibility that could benefit from beefing up defense positions. As always thanks so much. Maureen

Q: Great work Peter ... I am now retired and am about to allot my funds into their proper allocations. RRSP,RIF,and LIF ... I had chosen 7 stocks from the Income Portfolio for my LIF but having read comments from other investors I am not sure if I am heading in the right direction. You and Ryan have been so supportive so I must ask How would you allot 400K(RRSP), 200K (RIF) and 210K (LIF) ...right now I am completely covered 400K in the Model Porfolio. If this is to much to ask I completely understand , I do have a plan but would like to allow your expertise to weigh in. Thanks for all you do and post this at your discretion.

Q: Could I get an update on San Gold, specifically on Greg Gibson and his involvement with the company plus the combination of Sgr and Kerr. I was a big loser with SGR in the past but did very well with Trelawny when Greg sold it. He impresses me as a very honest knowledgable mining person. Thanks

Hi Peter and Team,
I am share holder of Enerplus Corp. and watch it's share price dropping from it's high. Yesterday the company anncounced to suspense Stock Dividend Programme, and it dropped 4% on that day. Is it due to sector related/market movment or investors do not like this move?
Pls give your thought on this company and it's outlook. Should I take may profit or continue to hold.
Thanks as always.

Q: I have positions in all the major Cdn banks and I wonder why you, and many other advisers, tout TD and BNS over the other banks. When I started with BMO Invest in June '13, BNS was $59.04 a share and BMO was $61.37 Yesterday BNS was $72.94, a nice $13.90 increase, but BMO was $85.42, up $24.05! Why does BMO never get the recognition it deserves?

Q: What's going on with FSZ? I purchased this stock because you liked it (can't remember specific reasons). I've held since Oct 2013 and it's down 5.5%. Yes, it pays a dividend close to 3%, but I'm wondering if I should sell while my losses are low.

Q: Pardon my lack of knowledge, but what do you mean by "half position" and "full position" for an investor's holdings. More generally, I cannot find a glossary of terms on the web site.

Thanks for all the great info.
