Q: I am a retiree with substantial cash set aside for things like a new car, appliances on their last legs, some renovations, and a trip. My questions is: do I include this cash as part of my portfolio when determining asset allocation %, both in equity vs fixed income and, more importantly, when calculating what % of my portfolio is in individual stocks and what % is in any given sector? Obviously, %s change dramatically if I only count the $ actually invested! Thanks again for your steady hand.

Q: Hello, and sorry for the very general question. Are there any financial actions we could do before the change of governments?
We are retired but find the TFSA very useful. Should it be topped up before the change ? Any other things that could come from left field?

I know this question is asked with some regularity, but it remains a great one to hear your thoughts on periodically - what would be your 5 picks today for stocks that might be 10-baggers, in 1-3 years?

Q: I was hoping to have your views on this company. The cash value seems to be reasonable and sales all over the board. I am having difficulties coming up with a accurate book vale minus the cash portion. I also note that the company just announced Sandvine Officer Cancels, Initiates Automatic Securities Disposition Plans. Mr. Siim's ASDP provides for the sale of up to 625,000 common shares of Sandvine from the date hereof until April 14, 2017, subject to certain limit order prices and volumes. Does this stand out as a major red flag??? Thank you Jason

Q: Hi,
I'm thinking of adding a consumer staple. Empire has come down somewhat, but would you prefer Metro or George Weston. I'm a very long term investor.

Q: hello 5i:
please give me your two best companies, in the Industrial sector. I'm looking for something with a dividend of >2.5% (but realize I might have to settle for less), with a stable and growing cash flow, trading at or below its long term value metrics (P/B, P/S, P/CF, D/E etc). The companies should have a dividend history of at least 5 years, though longer is better. I'd prefer to keep it to a Canadian company, though it seems a large percentage of US Industrials are trading at low valuations, so would at least be open to one for a suggestion. I know these are fairly tough criteria after a bull market run that approaches 7 years. can you help?
