Q: My gold and silver made up 5% of my portfolio and are now down to 3%. Is this a good time to buy more to bring them up to the 5%? I currently own Goldcorp and SLW. If it is to time to buy more should I just add to these or get some more diversificatioon through something like Franco Nevada?

Q: In response to John about information on preferred shares, I would suggest prefinfo.com, a free site by J. Hymas who also has a fee-based pfd share information service. I don't think this site lists everything out there, but the basic info for many pfd shares is listed.

Q: I am looking at Stantac and Aecon with a view to purchase one of these two stocks. I have looked at various metrics and find it hard to see where one would have the edge over the other. Could you please tell me which you would favour of these two stocks and why, especially with regards to the current and likely economy going forward over the next two years. Thank you for your terrific advice as always.

Q: Yesterday Bellatrix BXE announced that it had completed a BOUGHT deal to sell about 25 million shares at $9.75 and that the lead underwriter was Canaccord. Today the sale has been downsized to 15million shares and has been repriced to $9.50. When is a bought deal not a bought deal? It seems to me that the underwriter takes no risk if he can change the terms of the deal the next day.
This makes this transaction more like a "best efforts " deal and not a bought deal. Could BXE not have insisted that the original terms be adhered to, at least in terms of the pricing?
What do you make of it and does this undermine your confidence in the company and alter your opinion as to whether it is a good investment?
Thanks Mike

Q: I have ENB.PR.N-T at 4% reset in 2017. My question is how to decide when to sell preferred shares.
Similar preferreds have come available with a higher Dividend. I would sell Enb. as it is above its $25 issue, and pick up the newer issue with 5 years to go. Or could you direct me to a website that could enlighten me on buying and selling preferrers.
Thanks for the great work you and your team do, I have found it very helpful in confirming some of my purchases.
Thanks Jack
