Q: G'Morning! I'm feeling a bit antsy this am about my TFII position (in at ~ $23 & $26). McCreath on BNN said he is short TFII and sited integration challenges with its Mexican acquisition and said that they are losing Amazon business. Apparently RBC has also downgraded this stock. The share price hasn't been doing well lately. Your comments please? Is it a hold or should I start thinking about selling? Thanks so much!

Q: Hello 5i:
I wish to do a little consolidating in the portfolio. Could you rank the stocks above, from a total return point of view. Obviously, the dividend is important, as is dividend growth.
as always, thanks

Q: I have the fixed income section of my portfolio (about 20%) invested in 1-4 yr GIC ladders earning virtually nothing after inflation. This money is there to stabilize the portfolio and provide an emergency fund in the event of a very significant need for funds, but hopefully never needed. I also have 50% of my portfolio in large cap dividend paying equities that provide income in excess of current requirements so would only draw on the GIC money if the cash need was quite large.
Is there any other investment you might recommend for the fixed income portion of my portfolio that would provide similar safety and liquidity but improve returns in a rising rate environment? Thanks for the help. Jim.

Q: The value of this ETF seems to have been holding steady at between $19.50 and $20.00 over the past year. What would make this ETF move higher or lower ? There is now talk of interest rates starting to move up, plus speculation that the Fed will get rid of some of its bond holdings. Are either of those likely to have any effect on value of this ETF ?
Q: Hi,
We have a HELOC with a rate at 2.70%. We are planning to invest a portion of it ($100,000) using the smith manoeuvre strategy. Just want to ask your recommendation on 5 solid dividend yielding stocks that can give a good return and can benefit using this strategy. Any member in this group using this strategy?
Your thoughts and comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

Q: Can I get your current thoughts on AGU? Is this a good time to initiate a position?
Q: I, like a few others at 5i is fully aware of your position on STB and I completely agree based on it's financial condition. On any metric, it certainly does not meet the basic criteria for any solid investment.
Nevertheless, I made a second investment in January 2016 for my wife's cash acct simply to augment her monthly dividend income. As of today, we are up 70% - go figure! The only rational I can see is whether the previous very large shareholder in France has made a change in thinking after selling its very substantial holdings or else another 3rd party has recognized the attraction of STB's growing fleet of national school bus operations as leverage for a much larger merger.?? Thank you.
