Q: Hi, Your thoughts on EDR please. Is it buy at current price??
Q: Do you think that REITS have had their run and it would be wise to sell and take the gains? Have they reached their tops eg. D.UN, Dundee REIT ? Thanks.
Q: Further to your recent October 10 comments on DTX and WCP, I came across a brand new publication 'Oil and Gas Corporate Bulletin', which is called an 'advertorial'. It is a lenghty and extremely laudatory presentation of NVS, which looks pretty convincing. Is this serious and should this stock be preferable to WCP as a short term takeover target ?
Q: Is it duplication to own shares of BAM.A in the same portfolia as bip.un and bep.un.I purchased Bam.a for $31- increased to $34 and then down to mid 20s before coming back to $34.

Q: Hello Peter & team,
Just wondered if we are expecting a change in the US 15% withholding tax on dividends on US ADR's ? I hold a number with good divs. eg. AGNC, MCD, NU, all on the US market & bought on the TSX in US$. ( Could make a big difference to the valuations if the tax is increased.)
Thanks in anticipation,

Q: Hi guys. What do you know about WB (Whistler Blackcomb Holdings). They have a nice yield but their PE looks ridiculous. Is this one of those companies where we should ignore PE?
Q: With respect to your suggested October 1, 2012 portfolio (BAD,BEP.UN,BPF.UN,DH,WIN,SYZ), would you advocate an equal distribution (some stocks are rated A, and others B or B-) ? Should the amount be more substantial (i.e. 100,000$ rather than 30,000$), would the suggestions be the same ?
Q: IBM vs CSU. Are they comparable? Which is a better investment at this time. I recently sold my position in IBM as I am somewhat concerned of the effect of the fiscal cliff in the U.S.

Q: Hi Peter:
As a group, large US industrials such as Cummins, Cat etc. are lagging well below what many of your picks have been doing. Considering current economic conditions would you comntinue holding this group or move on. I feel at their current value there is no way to go but up.
Thank you so much
