Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Question on portfolio weighting.
I have 25% in financials - BNS 5%, NA 4%, CM 3%, HCG 3%, HR.un 3%, CSH.un 3%, MIC 2%, GS 2%.
I only have 2% in health care with ZUH etf.
I am thinking of reducing financials for more health care, specifically switching CM for more ZUH.
Your thoughts on this portion of my portfolio and the possible switch are appreciated. Your thoughts on ZUH as a health care sector investment is also appreciated.

Q: Has anything changed with Solium Capital (TSE|SUM)?

Seems like the stock has been steadily giving up a few percent a day for the past few weeks, feels like the up trend from last year is loosing its momentum. Im still up on the trade overall, thinking of either booking the profit or buying more. Your thoughts please

Q: Hello team,
Sometimes, I like to look at charts to see how a company is doing in the absence of any news. Rogers Communications' (RCI.B)chart is showing a rounded top which suggests that the company's shares are about to head south. Do you see anything on your Bloomberg terminal that suggests the company is experiencing difficulties. What do you think are its prospects for the near future?

Q: Going through a very difficult, unappealing process of re-balancing. One of three companies I like very much has to be sacrificed. Of Enghouse (ESL), Solium (SUM), and Macdonald Detweiller (MDA) which two would you keep. The only consideration is long-term risk-adjusted returns.
Thank-you.

Q: DDD... 3D Systems Corporation : This really seems to be the stock of the future . that is the only answer,.. the rest are questions .
Is it the best in what it does, or should I be looking elsewhere ? ... It really plunged on a selloff, so it may be a good timing play now ? ... is it liquid enough or ridiculously risky ? Is $66.66 a good omen or a bad one ? it bounces 5% in a day .
... Thanks /Cheers

Q: Hi Peter

One of the first books I read on investing was "One Up on Wall Street" by Peter Lynch. Of course, he advocated doing things such as going to mall and observe which stores were busy.

In that vein, I keep thinking of Costco as every time I go to one of their stores all I see is a steady stream of people going through the registers.

I don't think there is a COST question on the site and I simply just wanted your thoughts on this company. As I read through their Edgar filings, it just seems that this stock is ridiculously expensive. Is this just a great company but a lousy stock?

Thank you
