Q: I parked money in PSA in order to get a 1% retune while I decide what to do with the cash. I notice on the Purpose Investment website the following disclaimer
"Fund securities are not covered by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government deposit insurer"
Can you comment. I was under the impression that 100K is insured under CDIC
Thanks! Nice to have a go to service to ask these type of questions

Q: Hi,
Can you give me your thoughts on the price weakness? Bip.un has been a strong and consistent performer in my portfolio. Is it a good time / price to buy here? Do you expect anticipate good upside over the next 12-18 months / longer or is there reason to be more cautious/sell?
Thank you

Q: If holding so called high interest saving vehicles (like TDB8150) in an investment account are subject to bail in legislation, where could one hold cash to avoid bail ins? Depositors in banks are considered "investors" under current laws and subject to confiscation in bail ins, but would you be exempt if you held cash in an investment account. You earn zero interest if you hold cash in an investment account so it would be hard to say you are an investor with that cash.
Thanks
Thanks
Q: BIP.UN has give up all of the gains last year and is now trading at a 52 week low with a yield of over 6%. This looks like a great buying opportunity - do you agree? Thanks
Q: I'm looking to add a low(er) volatility utility name like FTS or CU. Which do you prefer? Or is this a 6 of one, half dozen of the other type question and they are both OK to buy?
Q: Hopefully, this question provides a simple answer. I have approx $100k in liquidity that I'd like to 'park' in whatever equity or REIT you feel is risk averse and would provide some dividend or interest income - bonds aside. I can leave the funds there for 2 to 4 years. At 66 years of age, I cannot afford to lose principal. I am not concerned with currency fluctuation.
Q: Can you provide an updated analysis and recommendation on Cogeco Cable (CCA)? I don't currently own it but would like to and noticed that its at a 52 week low. I've been a customer of cogeco for a very long time. Is the dividend safe? Is the business vulnerable to larger competitors like Rogers/Bell? Thanks again - John

Q: Hello,
For some of us who are crazy enough to invest in current markets, can you recommend few Canadian stocks that have:
1. High stability i.e. low Beta (ideally recession proof), but declined recently
2. Low P/E ratio
3. Dividend of at least 3%
Basically, I am looking for something like Fortis, though it didn't decline much...

Q: Hi there,
Would a vehicle like TDB8150, a place to park cash in an investment account, be subject to bail-in confiscation, similar to bail-in of bank deposits. Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter and the 5I team
I am wondering about HLF as a good value pick at the moment. But I notice that the low canadian currency seems to effect them negatively, since I believe that the canadian currency will continue to be weak should I stay away from this stock? What is your general feel for this stock ? Is the div safe? Another stock I am considering is AD. Is the div safe with this stock? I realize that these 2 stocks are very different but if you had to pick one which would you pick and why.
Thank you

Q: What do you predict for Manitoba Tel for 2016? Is the dividend safe? Might there be a takeover? Thanks for all your advice!
Q: Thank you for all your guidance over the last year. Most helpful.
My undisciplined approach to buying and selling has led me into a 25% weighting in consumer discretionary and cyclical sectors and only 5% in utilities and tecom sectors combined. I'm nearing retirement and will depend on dividend income. Therefore I'm thinking I should sell some and buy the other. Out of BYD, XTC, CGX, CCL.B, ATD.B, DOL, MG, WPK which would you sell? Or would you just reduce all evenly? What are your favourite utilities/telecoms with good secure dividends at this time? I already hold half weighting in T, BEP.UN, ECI. Maybe increase those and add others like AQN, BCE, FTS?
