Q: I have a few holdings that are currently below water & could be sold to trigger losses to offset gains already realized this year. I would appreciate your opinions. Given today’s prices which of the following would you liquidate now: COS, CPG, ERF, JE, PGF, PWT, PBN, TA?

Now for the proceeds; what securities of a similar risk/return profile (long term potential for growth with reasonable dividend while I wait for the growth) would you suggest? FYI, of the securities you have rated, I currently hold ATP, BEP.UN, CUS and have small holdings (ie. room for more) in CSH.UN, ECI, HR.UN, THI, and WIN.

Q: ANS/ANS.RT Ainsworth has issued rights that became free trading yesterday. It appears to be a complicated formula that either I or the market has misperceived. I am hoping you can clarify this for me.
The formula is: 1 share gives the owner 1 right. Each right allows the owner to buy 1.4 (rounded up) shares for $1.25.

Yesterday one right traded for $1.40 (roughly) and one share traded for $2.30 (roughly).

By my calculation either the share is overpriced or the right is underpriced by around 20%! By buying 1 right for $1.40 I will end up paying $1.90 per share for each fully exercised right. By selling my share at $2.30 I have pocketed a tidy profit that will be realised on the excise date (Dec. 21). Do you agree?

Q: PSN ...Given: An astonshing 70 million shares have traded hands in the last couple of weeks ... And, for every seller there is a buyer.

Is this company dead in the water, just not officially declared so?
Or, are the buyers discerning opportunists ... or wild eyed gamblers?
Or something else?

Now, the real question: Are we at the point where the risk reward has tipped into the reward camp?

Thanks for your perspective.

Q: Hi Peter and 5i team, A while ago, you answered a question on gold. I am very much in agreement with your reasons for holding gold and also what to hold. However, you likened gold to insurance and suggested to have some always. That suggests a permanent typa deal. For long periods (20-25 years stretches), gold could be a drag on the portfolio. I intend to get out of it once the threat of banking collapse, hyperinflation/currency-debasement and turmoil in global money system all subside. Are we so different on this point?

Q: Microsoft had a free stock tracking site a few years ago but unfortunately dicontinued it. It provided all key metrics, inside buying, charts, % gains, etc, etc, and was so superior to anything I have found since. Do you or your readership have any recommendations?
