Q: I was wondering what your opinion is on using short term real return bond etfs as an inflation hedge? I was considering purchasing VTIPX on the US markets since there are no short term real return bonds in Canada.

Q: Hello:
I have held CNQ, CVE and SU for a few years in my portfolio
How would you feel if I sell part of CNQ or CVE and invests it
in Chevron (NYSE); the performance of the later is far better
than the Canadian oil companies that I have held
I do have a small position in TOU, thanks

Q: Re: XCS; a small cap index ETF, the performance has been less than stellar if one compared it to Mawer small cap fund (closed to new investors); is there another small cap index other than
IWO (US) that you could recommend to look at ?
Secondly, is there a seasonal time to be best at small to mid caps ? Thanks!

Hi, I am holding Rogers Sugar and it seems to be on a constant downward trend this past while. Do you have any idea why and should I hang on to it? Thanks, I really appreciate your advice!

Q: My oil stocks amount to 9% of the total portfolio. Holdings are SU and CPG with 3% ea and IAE, LEG and TOU at 1 % each. Would it make sense to sell IAE and LEG and add those funds to TOU. All three of those stocks project a substantial potential increase in future cash flow. Or would it be better to sell the SU and put those funds into TOU.
Many thanks. Great service! Bob

Q: Just a follow-up question on AEM...does Bloomberg show how many ounces it produced in 2006? I'm just trying to get a sense if gold production has increased along with the share count...or put another way if the ounce of gold per share has matched or bettered the share increase.
Thanks
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and team,
Any thoughts on the 4.6% drop in Open Text today? Would you continue to hold this stock for future growth/income or would you suggest replacing it with one of your other names in your portfolio?

Q: Can I get your opinion of TML ? Thanx Robbie
Q: Hi 5i I noticed your recommendation to one reader to look at the ETF XCB. XCB has dropped a bit in the past few months, what do you think would be the driver to increase the price. Also is the dividend a true dividend or is it interest, and why does the dividend fluctuate from month to month. Thx Gerry
Q: Hi Peter,
Raising cash seems to be causing PLI to drop like a stone. I just bought it last week and am wondering if I should get out now before I lose too much more... Susan

Q: Hi Gang. I have about a 20% position in Financials and am looking to either (1) average up on Home Capital Group from a 3.3% position to a 4%+ position or (2) I may start a 2.5% position in Equitable Group (EQB) because of its growth prospects and ultra low p/e.
Other possibilites instead of adding to my financial weighting is VRX or CSU because I am underweight the Pharmas and Tech. Your thoughts would be appreciated regarding my weighting in the Financials and HCG vs EQB at current valuations.
Thanks, as always.

Q: Hi,
Have you heard about a company LXV. This company is launching a social website Mobio on Dec 1. The company is already up a lot in the last few days and the volume has picked up by 20 times. Is it worth the risk?

I have one quick question on Osisko & Detour: I've reviewed the many answers already provided herein, but I fail to find what the production costs, all in, would be for Osisko &Detour Gold.
In a "flat" gold market it would be of value to know which of the small/juniors are likely to survive, given the related costs of production. Thanks!
