Q: Hi Peter. Could you give me an updated opinion on CWT.UN. The shares have doubled since I bought it and it now represents ~2.5% of my portfolio. My weighting in REITs is ~8%. My concern about selling some shares would that I would have a smaller after-tax amount to re-invest and would require a higher return to justify the switch. Would you recommend selling some shares? If so what would you recemmend for long-term investment?

Q: Peter I purchased CBO - 5 year laddered corporate bonds ETF. It has dropped in price significantly in the past month. My purpose for buying this eft was for the low risk and 4.4 % percent monthly payout however all gains have been wiped out by the price erosion. Is there further downside on this eft? Should I move to another name. Thank You.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I would like to add some exposure to Silver at current silver prices as i now believe that the paper price is now trading below actual all in production costs. In addition, the ratio of SLW:Silver is almost 1:1 which means no leverage is being given to Silver Wheaton, SLW, do you think now is a good time to add a position?
