Q: My question is re Stantec (SN). My portfolio is overweight small cap, profitable, dividend paying, thinly traded companies, and I am comfortable with that. When I read your report on Stantec in Feb (price was 30.15 at the time), it sounded like my kind of stock. I eventually bought a few hundred shares, ACB 30.55. Since then the stock has slowly, but consistently lost value, so that I am now down about 10%, which is my warning sign. Do you have an opinion why the stock seems to be out of favour, and whether I should hold, or get rid of it at this time. Thanks.

Q: hi Peter and staff , I am hearing from different analysts that various governments have and will continue to print money. I am mostly in cash and I have been wondering how I can protect my savings if there is inflation leading to devaluing our currency . But if this is happening how are interest rates being kept so low. What would you recommend especially with high valuation on alot of dividend paying stocks. I appreciate your help.

Q: Hello Peter, Do you have any information you could share regarding Largo (LGO). Seems like they have their financing done, they have and off-take agreement for the Vanadium, and Brazil seems like a good country to be in for mining. They bumped up about 20 percent last Friday but doubt if that means much. I suspect the main risk is whether the management team has the skills to pull off the difficult task of building a mining operation. Do you know these guys at all? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter,

I have a small portfolio which for some reason has become heavily weighted in resource stocks. This portfolio includes MMT, TOL, LEG, ELD, FVI, KGN, ZNGA and AM. I am stuck with some of these because they are down in some cases more than 50%. MMT is the only one where I am in the green. Do you think I should reduce some positions even at a loss and replace them with non-resource stocks or hold on and sell on strength. Thanks

Q: I sold some Crescent Point to reduce my exposure to energy, and I'm looking for something with a comparable dividend to replace it. Temple Reit is given as a strong buy by the Globe and Mail, as is Chorus Aviation which has a staggering dividend-is it too high to last? And is this a very volatile industry? I'd like your opinion on these two stocks. Thank you very much.
