Q: Hello 5i, Thanks very much for all you do for your members. I look at your organization as the "Robin Hood" of the Canadian financial industry. My question today is: I sold my ECI this last week and decided to capture the gain and redistribute to one new position with the proceeds. I'm looking for another dividend aristocrat (as identified by the S&P index or one that could be as CIX will be getting the boot) I'm closing in on retirement but still like to stay in the growing type names. Not terribly worried about maximizing my income at this point. Which of my choices do you think has the most upside over the next 5 years.

Q: hello 5i:
I'm interested in PLC (should never lack for business), BUT I notice the company has a so-so record of meeting Operating Earnings, and a dismal record of meeting Operating Cash Flow projections. This doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in the company, and so provides me with a bit of a quandry. Can you comment? Do YOU think the company will be able to achieve or beat projections in the future, as they haven't in the past? Why?

Q: My father will visit Canada next year to attend my graduation. He just wired me 30K to invest and said this will be his travel expense next year, so he wanted a guaranteed positive return for his money. What are some of the stock/etfs you recommend me to put my money in. I do know we have a income portfolio, so please do not say something like "referring to income portfolio", there are too many names there. Can you just give me some of your favorite names? also, some ETFs are fine too. Thank you in advance. Tony
