Q: Hello Peter,

I recently opened a joint account funded with cash for my wife and myself. We're starting with a clean slate as we've liquidated some other less interesting holdings to fund the new account.

We're both in our late 30s and will continue to add funds to this account as we can.

From the model portfolio, what holdings would you start with? Our account isn't big enough yet to buy board lots of all of model.

Looking for 5 things that we could buy now.

We already hold BNS, ENB, ESL, and T from the model portfolio.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I own Cineplex CGX for quite a while and I'm wondering whether to hold or sell. Granted you have rated it A- for all the good reasons you mentioned in your report (and I agree with them); but all it takes is one so-so season (poor content) for the stock to take a tumble. Given that, how can one intelligently forecast future revenues and earnings?
Food for thought!

Q: I am looking at adding to my holding in SJ. In your report you mentioned the 38% ownership by SJ Intl (Glasgow Scotland). Would you expect any impact on the stock price from a YES vote simply because of Scottish ownership? Given the growing strength of the US $ what impact would that have on the stock? Lastly what kind of revenue and eps growth would you see over the next couple of years.
Thanks
Mike

Q: Is "Pick and Pay" for cable subscribers positive, negative or neutral for DHX? What is the short position on the stock? Also do you still see Amaya as an acquisition target by larger competitors as in the April report, or is it the big fish now? What would be the next milestone in its growth plan to watch for, perhaps a legalization in a large Democratic state with the skids greased by Gen. Wesley K. Clark, Independent Director; also what is the short position? Thanks, J.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I hold DHX Media. It is now trading at over 80 times forward earnings and that worries me a bit; what is your take on this stock that seems to be the "Canadian darling".
Regards,
Tony

Q: Hi team. My AYA is now 10.5% of my 3 PFs which as a whole are very well balanced thanks to you. I had doubled up when I saw good news. The first buy is placed in my TFSA and the double up in my non Registered. I am in a low tax bracket. Do you feel this present rise in price is just a flare up so to speak? Would it be a good idea to trim some shares? Or should I wait until after Friday (TSX info)? thanks so much once again. I am up 48% in my entire TFSA since April of this year because of you all..
