Q: Hi team:
I am aware that Peter put alot of weight in fundamentals of a company/stock before a recommnedaton is being made
I was watching the market call on BNN recently, and the comments was made re: utilities tend to do well in the summer
I do have FTS and EMA and CU and would not hesitate to add more
Is there any particular reason from a seasonal or fundamental point of view to support this trend ?
(I do have some ZUT in my RRSP as well),
many thanks !

Q: It has been over six months since your last comments on AC.B. I'd be interested in whether or not you view has changed since last October. Yesterday I sold half of our holdings (purchased at under $5). That of course, resulted in a jump of 3.6% today.
Q: Hello, could I please have a brief assessment of Richards packaging RPI.un. Thank you
Q: ITP/RPI.UN/WPK Packaging stocks. Read your report on WPK and B+ rating. Unfortunately I do not own WPK but do own RPI.UN and ITP. RPI has not disappointed and on a one year return matches WPK -- throw in the divvy for more! ITP has been disappointing. Considering a large profit/ healthy weighting in RPI, a loss/ smaller weighting in ITP. I imagine I see more upside to ITP over the other two. Setting aside the dividend consideration where do you see the most upside of these 3 stocks?
Q: Can you recommend a good canadian dividend index? I currently own 18 Canadian stocks from your portfolio and would like to add some diversification and dividends with this. I'm looking for one with a good dividend and low management fee.
Q: WN: this stock has been doing down a fair bit over the last little while & I was wondering why? Is it to do with their large purchase of a US baker or what? I would like to buy for the long term and have been watching it ready to buy at some point for a good price-I'd love to see a further drop before buying to $75 or so.

Q: (From Greg)
Scotiabank is selling its CIX (CI Financial) holding at a price of $31.60 in a just-announced secondary offering. Given that CIX closed today at $33.65, this seems to be a very good deal. What is your opinion? Should I commit to this offering through my broker (no transaction fees), or will the market price of CIX likely decline to meet this price anyway in the next few days?

Q: XSR - Could we please have your updated comments on Sirius - another special dividend announced today, 58.5 cents, yet the reaction thus far has been somewhat underwhelming - there always seems to be a lot of selling pressure on this one
Q: TCK.B: I have been keeping my eyes on this one for a while looking for an entry point. I realize that this Co. is tied to coal for steel making and copper and zinc which are all economically sensitive. At some point as the EU and Chine pick-up a bit and price increase for their commodities this should help? Is the dividend safe under current conditions-I am retired and own no other resource stocks other than VET, CPG & BTE which with reinvested dividends have served me well over the last 5 yr.

Q: Mr. Hodson, this is a question with respect to Orbite Aluminae (ORT). Peter A. Crossgrove, a director of Orbite and Executive Chairman of Excellon Resources, just bought 100 000 shares in the public market. With recent changes such as Claude Lamoureux appointed chaiman of BOD, Shaun Usmar as a new director, and Glenn Kelly as well, would you say there is a ray of hope for the company ? Seemingly, the company is now supported financially to some extent by both the federal and the Quebec Government, and is on the verge of commissioning its high purity alumina plant in the Gaspé area.
Q: For individuals who are self employed, is it better to keep their investments in the company or personally. I have always maxed my RRSP and TFSA, and have an investment account within the business. I know an investment advisor who tells all his self employed clients to not make any RRSP contributions, and invest within the business account instead. What does your math say is the better way to do it?
Q: Where can I go to get info on insider trading at companies and reporting dates-thank you...JP
Q: Hello! A small allocation in gold makes sense to me. I have taken a look at HGY and I would be interested to know what are the pros and cons of investing in such a fund. Receiving a decent yield while holding seems attractive to me and buying on dips would be something I could consider. Your insights on HGY would be welcome. Thank you,

Q: re: 3D Systems DDD
"Yesterday, the company announced that it will offer 5.95 million shares of common stock in a public offering. Furthermore, the underwriter has the option to buy 892,500 additional shares in the 30 days after the offering."
We all know this sector has a future. The market did not like this announcement. Could this move be for acquisition purposes? And if so, what would this mean moving forward? Any other comments are appreciated.
Thanks for all you do
