Q: I own each of these companies in my RSP and have done very well on all three over the past year. A couple of months ago, I trimmed my positions in CNQ and SU as they had more than doubled. With the recent sector pull back, I'm now considering selling some Parex and redirecting the proceeds to Suncor.
It seems Suncor currently has a number of positive catalysts which may result in it outperforming Parex over the next couple of years. Both companies have a similar beta and yield, with SU having much more diversified operations.
Exclusive of position weightings, your thoughts on this strategy please.
Thanks, Rick

Q: Hello I am considering buying SLF at these levels $57 to $59 with a dividend yield of 4.75%.
I want to hold these shares for a minimum of 3 years, but more likely into the 5 year range.
I know this is a difficult question to ask, but based on your experience, how much downside % do you think this stock has?
I would like to buy in allotments over the next 3 months.
Suggestions, thank you.

Q: I've been sitting on my Q2 div revenues waiting for things to settle a bit. Looking to add to one off the 3 positions X, TD, SLF. Balanced/Income portfolio follower, moving towards income follower. 5+ yr hold. Conversely if there is a holding in the Income portfolio that is a screaming buy right now I would consider adding to that position or starting a new position if I don't already own it.

Q: Greetings, I already own PBH, ATB and COST but would like to add a consumer non-cyc. In order, I would like to protect against loss of capital, receive a greater than 2% dividend, and enjoy some reasonable growth. Which of the two above would you choose for a long term hold? If you could choose a U.S. name, is there one you prefer over both? Thank-you!

Q: Hi, Any comments on recent price action .Why Sylogist continues to make new multi year lows, while Tech sector, in general has gained some traction, over past week or so. There was a mention here of stock's long term support at $6.50 - $6.75 level. Why would retail investors keep selling, despite its solid organic growth prospects/possible acquisitions and very low risk to dividend ? based on its history dividend yield is now flirting with 7.50 - 8% - Is there a concern of a dividend cut ? We beefed up our holding along with 5i recently and like the company. What is the next support level and is it worth buying more now? We have owned it for several years and stock has fallen below our ACB of $6.57 and weight has dropped from 5% to below 2.5%. Thanks

Q: Good morning 5i staff,
I am thinking about selling PLC for a tax loss and buying again in 30 days. I know the previous exdividend date was in June but I don't know how to find out when the next one is, as this might affect my decision. Do you see any catalysts that would affect this stock in the next thirty days, or do you think that it will not rise much in that time?
thanks for all your great advice
