Q: Peter and staff: Following Sentry Select's distribution cut on Precious Metals and Mining MMP.UN, do you have an opinion on this stock? The stock still has a huge yield after the cut and the impact on the current stock price looks minimal following the shakeout. From Sentry's website: "Sentry believes this distribution decrease is prudent and beneficial for unitholders in the current environment for gold mining equities. In Sentry's view, gold mining equities are at their lowest valuations relative to the gold price in twenty-five years and represent an exceptional investment opportunity. It is Sentry's opinion that this distribution decrease will improve unitholders' potential total return by maintaining the capital invested in the Trust while still respecting the Trust's cash distribution objective." Do you agree with their assessment and what is your outlook on this sector? Thanks for your input.

Q: I'm planning to reduce my RRSP exposure to REITS, now 26% of the account. I hold BOX.UN, CAR.UN, REF.UN, CUF.UN, HR.UN, MRT.UN and plan to switch 2 of the lower quality names for IPL.UN, as I have no holdings in pipelines. Thoughts? Thanks...Jeff

Q: Hi Peter and Team, regarding Primary Metals, PME, would you please comment on their recent release regarding the distribution? Is it safe now to buy for the distribution, and growth of course? Is this a dividend or return of capital or combination? Can you please tell me what the MER is if possible? At 9 cents per month distribution just confirmed, is this one worth jumping into now considerin how hard the unit price has been hit? Thanks!
Q: Hi Peter,
My kids (12 and 14) have recently inherited about $15K each.
Could you suggest some long term hold "safe" stocks that are unlikely to test my "holding power". I would prefer to avoid trading them and triggering the capital gains before they turn 18, as I'll get taxed with it.
Keep up the great work!
Marco.

Q: Hi Peter & Team,
Yellow Media's share price rise in recent days has caught my eye. Do you think there is something behind it or is it just traders chasing momentum? Would it be a gamble to try and recoup some of the loss I incurred when the company restructured? Thanks for your opinion.
