Q: Hi 5i,
I'm trying to put together a materials allocation for my portfolio that pay a dividend. These are the companies I have come up with that pay a stable dividend and appear to not have too much related business. Is more diversification needed and can you make recommendations. Also is there any better replacements for these companies I would like to have at least a two percent dividend. Thanks!

Q: Could you suggest 2 safer Canadian stocks to go with QSR, GSY and SLF to add to my grandsons RESP for a long term hold. Dividend would be nice but not necessary.

I'm down 20% on QSR so would you sell at this time to add to the others?

Q: Hey Peter,

I am confounded. Ctc.a is down approx 10% in the past few months. HD and LOW are up approx 15% similarily

That's a disparity of approx 25% and they're all in the same business.

I know its not the B of C announcement today that caused this.

What is your thoughts on why and MOST IMPORTANTLY would you suggest I still hold?

Up only 6% on my position currently.

Thanks


Sheldon

Q: What is causing the current weakness in Methanex ? I have had success with it in the past and your fairly recent comments are positive so am considering picking some up at todays price. Any benefit to buying in US$ other than retaining dividends in US$ without losing on currency exchange ?
Have been with 5I since inception and am very happy with your insight.

John.
