Q: Hi everyone at 5i! I need a clarification about bonds. I have heard that bonds are facing head winds with the anticipated increase in interest rates. I have a portfolio of 60% stocks and 40% fixed. My fixed component consists of GICs, bonds, some preferreds and ETFs of XHY, CBO and CPD. These ETFs pay me a nice dividend monthly. My strategy is to invest my monthly dividend into the ETF that is lagging to get the greatest value for my dollar. Considering that the value of these ETFs may fall ( hopefully just in the short term) would you consider this an ok strategy or would you refrain from putting more money in bonds and preferreds. Cheers, Tamara

Q: I hold a small positon (2%) in CanWel which apparently did OK this quarter. I was considering adding to this position but reading previous questions and answers it, would appear that 5i is not that keen on this stock because of it's cyclical nature and perhaps I should sell into their quarterly results. Debt and payout ratios seem high. Are there other negatives or positives I should be considering?

Thank you
