Q: Hi All, at what point within your followed stocks would you sell to take profits? Is there a price increase (%) that would trigger selling? Do you ever suggest a sell to subscribers at a particular point or is it strictly buy a name and hold indefinitely? As time goes on subscribers would be buying names at various different entry points and obviously have different sell points...is there a good rule to follow?

Q: Twin Butte Energy [TBE]. I read where TD has reduced TBE to a "HOLD", whatever that means, and reduced its target price from $3.25 to $2.25 which is a significant drop at one shot. Could I have your comments on this firm?
Thanks,
Ron

Q: Twin Butte has taken quite the hit today. As of writing, it's down 17%. Is this sell-off justified and is TBE worth a look at these levels? Thank you and kind regards.

Q: Peter,

All gold related issues are basically no bid. To me, this is a time to go shopping. I have held off and I dont have much exposure the sector. I do not know how to start and what to look at.

I would think a manager would add value to a sector mandate? Is this the case? I am thinking of RBC precious metals.

Alternatively, I would go for an ETF such as ZJG-to or GDX.

My other thoughts would be to look at some stream companies. FNV or SSL. Even SLW would do. This would be a more conservative way to play the sector. I do feel the real value is in the miners (kinross is down 80%!). Usually you see that when they is an accounting issue or bankruptacy in the near term. I am somewhat analysis paralasis`at the moment.

Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter,

I have read some questions about "Middlfield offers to exchange ARTIS shares for shares in the MINT INCOME FUND". This reminds me of an investment "mistake" I did 7 or 8 years ago, here is the story: I had shares of Westshore Terminals (WTE), their value were of about $6.50, one morning I received a call from my broker (I do not have a broker anymore) who explained to me that I could exchange my WTE for a Sentry Select fund commission free! I have accepted the offer. As of today, the value of WTE is of almost $29.00, with a yield of 4.3%. I now understand why they wanted so much my WTE shares.

Since I have started to educate myself about investment and finance through Canadian Money Saver magazine and other sources, those kind of mistakes do not happen anymore.

Thank you,

Gervais

Q: Could you please give an updated opinion on Veresen (T-VSN). It has taken a hit with other utility companies over the past few weeks but still pays a good dividend of 7.84%. Is the current price of $12.75 a good entry point? It is right in the middle of its 52-week range of $11.22 to $13.91. The Royal Bank has a Sector Perform rating on the stock with only a $13.00 target. So there might not be much upside. Is it worth holding in an income portfolio, would you consider the dividend safe? As always, I appreciate your valued comments. Thank you.
