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

Q: Peter...The Refresh Financial LP seems to have a yield of 6.25% but fees of 5%. does that come off the 6 1/4? The business plan calls for "lending" at 13% to folks trying to regain a good credit rating, and then locking the funds into a 3 or 4 yr. GIC that they then repay, after paying a $300 "admin" fee. PROS/CONS for investors? thx regards, Art

Q: Short Interest
I have not been able to find a free source for Canadian short interest but for Dual or US listed Companies these two free sites are useful;

http://shortsqueeze.com/?symbol=pgh&submit=Short+Quote%99

http://www.nasdaq.com/quotes/short-interest.aspx#.UUd5yTdfZ8E

The NASDAQ site also has extensive lists of Institutional Interest.

Q: Good Morning! I was very surprised not to see MND in your model portfolio. From the answers you have provided to the memberships questions, I would have thought it would have been included in the portfolio. Can you provide an explanation as to why it was omitted from your selections? Thanks

Q: Peter,
Thanks for putting out the model portfolio. A few questions.
a) What should the portfolio sizing be if the portfolio is say $50k or $1M. How many investments should be held in those?
b) How should we add to the portfolio on a monthly basis? Say someone had $2k to invest every month, how should that be allocated?
c) How would you categorize this portfolio like defensive, aggressive, growth etc. If this for example is a conservative growth portfolio, do you have plans to roll out other model portfolios categorized differently?
Thanks
