Q: Hi team:Please ignore my question about the rated returns I have found another printout which clearly explains that the minus returns are the d to F rated companies.
I would like an update on CSS. I paid $12.51. It is $10.90. You would have told "us" if there was anything to know, I am sure, but is this just a buying opportunity? Why did trading stop on WCP today? Trading usually does not stop because they made an acquisition if that's what happened.
Thanks so much. Jean

Q: Peter what's your view on the Canadian banks - many articles recently on the risks facing the banks - housing bubble, debt levels etc - so far at least, the banks don't appear to have gotten the message that they should be going down - what are your thoughts in general - thanks in advance for your feedback.

Q: Re: ECI
Hi Peter. Do you know anything about Ford Equity Research? They came out this morning with a Strong Sell on Enercare. It's very rare that anyone puts out such a negative recommendation on a stock so I am wondering if this is a credible institution. I own ECI and see no reason not to continue. Thank you and kind regards.

Q: In a recent reply, you mentioned that our Oil & Gas holdings, were too high, at 16% of our total investments. One of these is Baytex, which I bought in both my TFSA and our Joint account for its dividend and growth. It has been a great disappointment with an 11.5% loss to date. Is the dividend safe? Should I hold it for eventual recovery? Or should I sell? We also have CPG which is similarly down, plus HSE, CVE and KEY. Thoughts?

Q: Hi guys,

Your service is unbeatable! I appreciate your insight and perspective on investing. I was a Peak Oil / resource guy when I first started investing 7 years ago and never thought my portfolio would be taking turns it has in the last 2 years. I have 500 PEY shares between my RRSP and TSFA and it's had a good run and I'm thinking about selling it. I like PEY, but think value it's a tad high. What do you think about flipping PEY 2 other companies, 1 in my TSFA and 1 in my RRSP?

In my RRSP I'm thinking about starting a position in HCG or SAP or...? In myTSFA I'm thinking about starting starting a position in Telus or...?

I currently own RY, TD, BNS, CN, IPL.UN, AD, AP.UN, COS, AX.UN, BNP, BEP, BIP, PEY, CSU, EIF, THI, KMP and CFN all about equal weight and a few others smaller ones that I hope to clean up over the year.

Thank you!

Brent
