Q: Hi 5i
I have encountered some Financial pundits who say that Good Will on a company's books would be more transparent if it was called "an accounting plug".
Where is this factor declared in Financials? Do KXS and SIS have Goodwill on their Books? Does 5i consider that Good Will is a valid descriptor in some circumstances

I don't ask many questions but I appreciate the service you provide

Q: Could you rank these as your number 1, 2 and 3 picks for growth, and provide some rationale. I am looking at one of these for a long-term hold of perhaps 5 years or more.
Thank-you

Q: Recently a number of 5i covered stocks got hit with bad earnings. If you already own good companies like SIS and TOY which ones should the above be replaced with at this time.

Q: I have recently joined 5i and have started converting one of my portfolios to the 5i Balanced Equity Portfolio. Given the limited funds, I am only comfortable holding about 10 positions. I am contributing to this account regularly, with the intention of building up to a full 20 positions within 12-18 months. Given today's conditions, which companies would be best to get into first?

I already hold full positions in CSU, KXS, NFI and SIS.

Thank you

Q: Hi,

I would like to initiate a position in one of these 2 stocks and plan on owning both over time. Given that both are down about 15% from their recent highs last month, which one do you think has a better entry point right now?

Thanks for your time

Q: Hi guys. I really enjoy your service and have done well in my investments since joining. I was wondering if there is anything behind the recent weakness in Loblaw that you are aware of? This right now is the worst performing stock in my portfolio. Is this still good for a 2 year hold? Thanks.

Q: These three are all tech, but of course, in different sectors. How would you rate them in terms of risk? Which represents the most upside potential from here? What would be your top pick of the three at the moment?
thanks, Len
