Q: Hi Peter,
I am baffled by the 30% additional fall in NPK since the last time I posted a question about it. After a lot of reading I am personally of the opinion that this is definitely a 2 or 3 bagger stock. It has an excellent project with great economies of scale especially for Brazil's requirements of potash if it gets the needed financing. Potash is a commodity the demand of which is tied to population increase. What is the possibility that this company will be just like all the penny stock precious metal failures that fail to obtain cash infusion.

Q: Hello Peter & team,
I am thinking of adding to MSI-t. (about 2.8% of the portfolio at present).
It seems to have been in a downward trend since reporting in March, but has just popped its head above the 20 day moving average. MSI seems to peak seasonally in about March of each year.
What do you think ?
Paul.

Q: Dear 5IResearch,
Having experienced some unprofitable results for the past few summers, I am now going to re-balance my portfolio, away from its total reliance on US equities, to include some Canadian names and then to weld it shut until October.
Currently my portfolio is 42% Berkeley Hathaway (BRK.B), 15% Wall Street bank (GS), 15% High-end US housing (PHM & DHI), 7% US Railroad (CSX), 7% Technology (GOOG or MSFT, but not AAPL) and 8-10% Cdn hedged index on SP500 (XSP)
I propose to reduce investment in GS, CSX, Technology and SP500, in favour of some good Canadian names.
My short list for these is:
Northland Power (NPI),
Agrium (AGU) or Potash (POT),
Pembina Pipelined (PPL) or Inter pipeline (IPL.UN),
Gold bullion (CEF.A),
and a western Canadian Reit (to be selected)
In the Fall, I expect to go back to a broad perspective of the entire North American economy, at large, hoping that Obama stops stalling the pipeline, by then. The asset allocation will likely be adjusted, to cope with the October 2013 - A.pril 2014 period.
Can you please comment on my proposed purchases of Canadian stocks? Danger signs would be appreciated.
Have a good summer.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: I see that RBC Capital upgraded National Bank (NA) a few days ago, from "sector perform" to "outperform" and raised its target price to $84. Is there any special significance to one of the big six banks issuing a favourable report and upgrade on one of its main peers/competitors? Or do you see it as on a par with pretty much any analyst's upgrade of any kind of company.
