Q: What are your thoughts about carmanah, you mentioned in a response to an earlier question it could be suitable for high risk investors, what makes this a higher risk company? It seems to be in the midst of a successful turnaround, great insider ownership, historic metrics are not great but looking forward things look quite rosy. Is it just that its a show me stock but you're paying for some of those results already?

Q: I'm wondering what an A+ company would look like. Would it look something like Disney DIS.US?
Q: Hi 5i team,
All my GICs mature in July and August. They make up <5% of my overall portfolio. Rates are very low (typically 1 year: 1.3%, 5 year 2.0%). There is even talk of a further interest rate cut in Canada.
Should I just split the cash 20% for each of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 year terms, or do you have a better strategy in the current interest rate environment?

Q: Good morning team 5i. I am in the middle of rebalancing my very well diversified 4 PFs, that is doing well all in all with most of your stock suggestions in your PFs (THANK YOU). I treat them as one PF. Around Apr 23/15, you mentioned that an investor should have no more than 15% to 20% in Small Caps. Around June 16/15 you mentioned Cap Sizes are as follows; SMALL - 75 million to 500 million, MID - 500 mill to 1 Billion, and LARGE -1 Billion and above. Canadian Business Magazine 2015 Special Edition on Pg 127, mentions SMALL 1 Billion or less, MID - 1 to 5 Billion, and LARGE - 5 Billion and up.
Would you please clarify this for me?!! If I follow Can Bus. Mag I am too heavily weighted in small caps!
Also would IWO ETF be considered SMALL or do ETFs fit the consideration of Cap size?
