Q: I have 8.3% of my portfolio in shares of T and BCE, which have dropped incredibly with the Verizon scare. T is now -17%. BCE has dropped like a stone also, but is an old holding and still +12%. Is it time to buy, hold or sell on T and BCE. And is MBT,which has climbed recently, worth looking at?
Q: Hi,
I am looking to add a small cap to my portfolio but I can't figure out why AHF maintains a B- ranking. Do you still feel this company is a addition to a small cap portfolio.
Thanks,
Paul

Q: I currently own AR (Argonaut Gold), BTO (B2 Gold) and SSL (sandstorm Gold), and am considering adding SLW (Silver Wheaton). There is usually a good seasonal trade (i.e. buy) in gold & silver beginning around mid-July. With the price of gold so low, and sentiment seemly continuing to be poor, do think the seasonal trade may still be there? Also, with the price being low do you see any issues with the 4 names mentioned? i.e. ability to finance debt, or closing mines (like Barrick & Kinross), etc... thanks again!

Q: Hello,
I read your article in the National Post regarding sector rotations and would like to ask a question about it.
Out of the 20 stocks I own, 3 are energy, IPL,TOU,HAL.
Because of the rotation would 15% considered too much to hold?
The rest of my portfolio is 10% Communications, 15% Health, 25% Cyclical and 35% Technology.
Thank you.

Q: Hello, ABX - My last question on ABX (and your answer) on Jan 8, 2013 is mentioned below. How do you feel about it now. Down 50%, shall I keep holding expecting a turnaround in 1.5 -2 years. Is dividend safe. OR shall take a loss and move on.

Question: Barrick - ABX. What is your opinion about the stock prospect in lieu of recent developments. Is it buy hold or sell.
5i Research Answer:
Barrick continues to have problems. The lack of sale of African Barrick is disappointing, but it is not a devastating blow. ABX's interest is worth just over $2 billion. Pueblo Viejo in the DR is another issue, and has not yet achieved commercial production. ABX will likely have to lower its production guidance for 2013.
But, many of its problems are reflected in the price. Down 30% in a year, trading a 8 times' earnings with a 2.4% dividend, it is attractively priced for a senior gold company with massive leverage to a higher gold price.
A few years ago, if we said you could buy Barrick below 10 times' earnings with a yield greater than most fixed-income investments, no one would have believed it.
Longer term gold investors should still be OK and do well with ABX.

Q: Peter and team:
NTB (Neptune Biotech) seems to be doing remarkably well in a difficult market in spite of the explosion/fire they had and the fact that they are still re-building. Any thoughts as to what is behind the strength and if it is worth taking a small position or do you have other 'speculative' favourites you would suggest ? Thanks for all the helpful comments you have been providing during a worrying time on the market.
