Q: I am 10 years from RRIF time. Presently I have 500,000$ in my RRSP and am mostly exposed to Canadian Equities. The breakdown is 80% Canadian, the balance US. Breakdown is about 70/30 equity to Fixed income. I would like to go to a more balanced world portfolio keeping the same ratio, i.e. 70/30, but do it with ETF's and Index Funds, Suggestions?

Q: I have a follow up to my last question on Imris. I am almost ready to pull the trigger on this one. Your last answer to my question put you in the not buy camp, however I have a 3-5 year time frame and these prices just seem like a great time to get in. My hesitation is around their cash levels. I was looking at their annual report and cash is very low plus they borrowed 25M that has to start repayment in 2015. So I guess to summarize what would you peg the percentage chance of this company going to 0? i'm okay if it drops from here as i have a long time frame but if they can't survive well that's another story. is the downside risk that high? thank you for the great service you provide.
Q: What can you gleam from the latest quarterly results for Detour Gold? How levered is it to the price of gold?
Q: Further to the question by Nancy: If what she means is that the stock is being held in her C$ account (for potential future sale on a Canadian exchange) and then moved to her US$ account (for potential future sale on a US exchange), then it would be the same stock that is held by her, just moved from one of her accounts to another, so nothing is being sold at all at that time, right?
Q: BLX - Boralex
You last report Feb 20 ($13.04) "Boralex has so many projects on the go for 2014 and 2015 that the outlook and commentary are very positive right now." "It looks better to us now, even at the higher price."
As of today it is at $12.96 and has shown a very nice flat technical for the last 11 weeks.
There have also been many positive comments on BNN plus news keeps rolling in regarding forward looking projects.
Can you please update your opinion if possible and comment on what we might be looking at 6 months - 1 yr out?
Thanks for all you do

Q: BDI. What are your thoughts on BDI in front of earnings report tomorrow? I realize the company's long term position looks favorable given expected LNG development in BC, but can you comment on any short term impacts such as long winter, etc? The share price seems to have plateaued of late. Can you also provide any insight on management's investment in the company? Thanks for your help...

Q: Hi Team
I know you like SGY and their management team, and the share price has done very well over the last year. My question is in regard to share issues. In 2009 there were 17 million shares O/S, today there are 166 million shares O/S. Does this not represent a high level of share issuing, or am I missing something.

Q: I have been watching Magna (which I own) over the past few day go on a tear to the downside. It is rather unsettling. As their earnings come out this week, does this mean that some people know bad news is forthcoming. Or is there some other likely reason.
Thank you Peter and staff for all your good work.

Q: At present I own all of the stocks in your new model portfolio (not the income pfolio) and have some cash to employ to take advantage of market opportunities. With some of the stocks having declined significantly (CSU,STN,SYZ) would you add to one or more of these thinking that they are oversold; or would you add to the stocks with upward momentum (e.g.CSS,AYA,HCG, CCL) - or would you suggest doing nothing for the time being? Thanks for you help.
