Q: With the market sell off again, can you suggest 5 stocks in either of the portfolios in the best position for a quick rebound once the market settles down and with a balance risk/reward leaning to conservative. A dividend would also be nice.

Q: Would it make sense to construct my portfolio buying all the A rating for companies under 5iResearch coverage and to diversify I would pick some of the B rated companies, replace them as you eliminate or down grade them?

Thanks

Q: Happy New Year to the 5i Team,
I found your answer to the question regarding PHM`s year end results to be clear, factual, but guarded; understandable, considering the dramatic start to this morning`s opening of the North American markets. By the end of the day, the stock went up 25% with huge volume. I am currently with BMO Investorline, who are on record as stating that ``There are currently no news headlines for this security`. Without overstating the obvious, would you be able to offer any further observations or feedback after today`s results, on an otherwise gloomy day? I find it hard to believe that there has not been more interest shown by other members in this event. Thank you as always. Rick

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I know you are high on this stock and it's been a top pick in a few post replies for 2016. Globeinvestor shows a forward P/E of 8.37. What would you have and from where ?. At 8.37 it would seem to be a back up the truck buy?
Thanks for all you do and all the best for 2016

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

Is the thesis for PUR still there? How much of their revenue come from oil and gas compared to municipal? It has been beaten down to 1% of my portfolio so do you recommend I top up to a reasonable weighting or let it go? Thanks,

Wes

Q: Hi,

I am considering purchasing Telus as a long-term hold for a combination of rising dividends and capital gains. From the previous questions and the fact that it is in the balanced portfolio, I see that you like Telus. On BNN, some of the analysts are worried about Telus due to its Western exposure, given low oil prices as well as other factors that may cause a further slowdown in the economy of Western Canada (Such as Provincial and Federal carbon taxes, etc..). Do you think that this concern is exaggerated, or is it a serious concern that you may factored into your assessment of Telus? Also, for how long do you think that Telus can continue increasing dividends yearly, or twice a year?

Thanks,
IF
