Q: Hello there,

I have been waiting for an opportune time to get in on RE and other companies that will eventually have a decent bounce back. What do you think of RE's 2015 plans? Is this a good time? Any other suggestions for this sector?

Thank you in advance!

It's is difficult to find accurate info on payout ratio and debt level for this smaller cap stock. Could you provide from Bloomberg if available please?

Thanks,

Q: Hello Peter, Your thought and advise on BDI, ACQ, SPE, BAD, SGY, AVO, FM. These are the losers (average 30%) in otherwise balanced portfolio ( mostly 5i). DO YOU RECOMMEND TAKING LOSS AND MOVE ON TO OTHER MODEL PORTFOLIO STOCKS OR YOU STILL LIKE TO KEEP ANY / ALL OF THESE, ALSO, IF YOU PREFER TO KEEP THEN DO YOU RECOMMEND TO ADD IN ANY/ ALL THESE TO BRING BACK TO ORIGINAL PORTFOLIO WEIGHTING.THANKS AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEE YOU IN THE SEMINAR.

Q: Hello Peter,
Fairfax has been on a roll lately. The fundamentals are good from PE and ROE, but the technical now are over bought (RSI). Any reason why the stock continues upward? I do not see any news other than Fairfax india IPO and potential Blackberry takeover (as Fairfax owns 10% of the company). Any comments. Also, to de-risk my portfolio, if I am to put more money in Fairfax, is it better to add to FFH or use those proceeds to invest in FIH (Fairfax india ) once the IPO stables (as you had indicated in prior replies about potential of fee covering of 8% from brokers etc from IPO). I have seen your replies on Knight Therapeutics that is a sector and management bet. When it comes to companies like these, does one simply go on technical charts to buy and sell as there is not much in terms of fundamentals to base the buying decision (what price to pick it up at). Also, BioSyent has been referenced as the next potential Paladin Labs. If so, can you see a potential of Knight buying BioSyent? Thanks again and appreciate the detailed replies you provide.

Q: Hi guys,

I would like to start dipping my toe in any of these names, the only thing that is stopping me is that I am worried about valuation. I need some exposure to consumer staples/discretionary and healthcare however, I would not like to buy at high multiples if possible.

I would like to know if I should wait for a little pullback OR buy now and if there is a pullback add to a position. Could you comment on the future prospects on them if you can, it will help my decision.
Feel free to suggest any other names that might be a better substitute.
Thanks, keep up the great work, it truly helps alot !!!!

Q: I am new to this investing game, so have a ways to go to get an understanding of important details.
I notice that on my QTrade profile sheet for this ETF the yield is 7.6% but the Jan 23/15monthly distribution was only $.074. This monthly amount X 12 months = $.89 which is about a 3.3% yield on a $27.00 ETF. Can you explain the discrepency?
Can the dividends be automatically reinvested?
Thankyou for your answers....Jim

Q: Hello,
Can you please comment on Reitmans. Is there really a turnaround story there ? I have been holding for 1 year now with about 25% gain. Since they cut the dividend I don't really see a reason to hold on to it. Not to mention the retail space doesn't appear to be very exciting at the moment. Thank you for your comments.
