Q: Hi Peter and Team,
In your latest newsletter you mentioned to trim SIS back down to 5%. I have a very small position and hesitated on adding to it because it kept moving up and I thought I had missed my opportunity. I'm now up 150% which represents 2.7% of my portfolio (thanks for that and I'm now kicking myself for not taking a full position).
Is it too late to top it up to 5% now?

Thanks for this great service.

Q: Hi, I am new to the 5i community and also investing, I've been buying stocks for over a year now but am unsure of what exactly I am doing asides from following previous trends. I would like to follow one of your portfolios but am curious as to how I keep it balanced while adding cash bi-weekly and if trying to keep up with your positions recommended in the portfolio. Without paying tons on commission. Any tips?

Thanks

Q: Hi there,

I follow the BE portfolio fairly closely and will be adding positions in CLS and GUD shortly. I can purchase them in either an RRSP or a cash account as my TFSA is already maxed out with growth names in them. Would the two names be better held in an RRSP or in a cash account for optimal tax efficiencies?

Thanks for your great services!

Q: The pop in SP of MX in the last two days seems to be solely driven by the majority shareholder's publicly expressed dissatisfaction with its management. I seem to recall a similar "public spat" on IBM and it did not seem to achieve any change in that company. Management being "called out" by shareholders in those cases would only feel resentment and would seldom give into those demands - just human nature I guess.

Do you feel this is heading the same way, or would it lead to the demanded changes in MX? I see that the SP chart of MX has been escalating of late so perhaps this publicly expressed dissatisfaction is the catalyse that may proper MX to the next level.

Love to have your view on this matter. Thanks.

Q: I am considering selling DH now rather than wait for closing of the sale. I would like to replace it with 1 of the 3 mentioned. Which of these 3 would you suggest or do you have another good alternative. I am thinking that my replacement would likely make up for the amount lost by not waiting for the closing of the DH sale. It does not have to be a Dividend payer.
Thanks 5i for the great information and advise that you give. It has certainly been very helpful and profitable for me.

Q: Given the drop in ENGH on the Amazon news, I want to make sure I understand the relationship SHOP has to Amazon. I believe that SHOP provides software to businesses that utilize Amazon but that Amazon does not license, own or necessarily encourage people to use SHOP software. Is that correct? If so, would the risk to SHOP in this "relationship" be if Amazon decided to develop its own software (unlikely, I think) or if Amazon formally named another software partner that businesses would be better of using to deal with them?

Thanks.
