Q: hello 5i:
I've just sold BPF.UN and wish to replace it with a good, reliable income stock with at least a bit of growth potential. Would Crius (KWH.UN) be a logical name? Any other suggestions?
thanks
Paul

Q: If I were to buy a GIC from Home Capital under 100000, what would happen if they went broke? I understand that the GIC is insured, but for how long would the money be tied up while all the paperwork gets done? And I guess I wouldn't get interest during that time?
Thanks

This company has recently been shedding its non core and non profitable printing/media business and made a few acquisitions in packaging industry.Company also pays a good dividend. In your last post, it was mentioned as a value stock. What are your current views on TCL.a?

Q: Update
Q: Both these companies report in USD. They are listed in NY and Toronto. Is the Toronto price basically a function of the rate of exchange?
Do these companies have a hedging strategy to protect the Canadian shareholders?
I suppose that an investor concerned about foreign exchange losses should examine the hedging strategy of any company holding assets outside Canada.

Q: What do you mean when you refer to a stock as a good/not-good "trading" stock (as for instance in your reply to Robert's May 19 question about CHE.UN)? Thank you.

Q: Would you swap BAM for BEP ? Why, why not? Thank you.
Q: Hi 5i: I find the behavior of Bond ETF's quite mysterious. I bought CLF some time ago, in the belief that a short term ladder protected to some degree against the effect of rising rates. Canadian rates have not risen and those in the US have gone up only a little. Nevertheless, CLF has gone down steadily (linearly until recently) over the last two years. The chart suggests they may recently have bottomed. It may be that the decline in price is because the underlying bonds are bought at a premium. If so, is this effect likely to be negated as rates go up? Bottom line: what can I expect of CLF over the next couple of years? Thanks for your always valuable advice.
