Q: Hi Team,
Trying to find a good entry point for lmp. Can you help me with the earnings expectations for this company over the next 2-3 years?

Ideally, I'd like to hold for the same time frame. I don't want to waste a year though as they grow into their multiple.

Thanks,

Q: I am under weight in the technology sector. From your portfolios what technology stocks might you recommend at this time (I own DH)? I am good with either income or growth stocks.

Is there a stock not in your portfolios that you may recommend over the others?

Thanks
Paul

Q: The other day you mentioned that comdev had been sold out of the model portfolio, but that you recommend members hold to the closing. Can you elaborate further on the reasons for this. Thanks as ever

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
I will join the chorus of voices favouring the portfolio approach. As a case in point, I own all the stocks in the 5i balanced equity portfolio except AYA,G,SIS,SYZ and WSP and the total return in 2015 (up to Nov 15) is 14.5%; that's a great performance considering the tough year we're having.
I salute you all,
Antoine

Q: Hi Peter,
I purchased stocks in the growth portfolio under your recommendation with the understanding it could entail very large volatility and risk... but was OK with that given that these would all be mid to long-term holds. Taking Guestlogix as an example - I bought right after the Growth portfolio was released and to date I am down about 75.0%. Although I don't like this, I was OK with this volatility given it was going to be a long-term hold and there are still expectations of growth, but now you have recommended a complete sell only 8 months later so I am confused. What should an investor do in my position?

Q: In reference to another members comment regarding portfolio performance, I agree that it would be important to show both the "losers" and the winning trades. The inclusion of date position was opened and the date closed would be beneficial for all of us.
Please share and consider this request for the portfolios.
Regards,

Q: TC has given back some of its yearly gains. Is this just a round of profit taking? And how do you see the company going forward given its most recent earnings? Thanks again.

Q: Hi there,

I wanted to comment on one of your member's comments on his losses on individual 5i stocks. I too have been a member for a very long time and the one thing I have learned is to stick with a disciplined portfolio approach rather than just trying to pick stocks from your portfolios. This has led me to consistently better overall results over a number of years. Some stocks have gone done at times and recovered at other times. But it is the 'stick with it' portfolio approach which has led to better than market returns. Thanks for all that you do.

Publish at your own discretion.

Q: Can you explain to the less educated why SPB should be selling off when they declare to pay out the debentures at 7.5% in this low interest environment, I would have thought that was good thing, but obviously the market does not agree me, I guess this is an opportunity to add to my position.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I am slowly moving to copy the model balanced portfolio. The names I do not yet own are AYA, CGX, DSG, G, SIS, SYZ and WCP.
In what order would you suggest I purchase these names I do not already own?

Thanks

Q: While Savaria does not have a rating yet, would you expect it to start with a similar rating to Prism, given its size and liquidity issues? Or would it fair a bit better with slightly higher liquidity and a good level of insider ownership?

Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

The last question about CVD was on Feb. 19th, and I see that it's still in the 5i income portfolio. I'm in the process of reviewing my RRIF and note that when taking dividends into consideration, I'm still down almost 4%. Going forward, is this ETF worth hanging on to? My RRIF is well balanced with various 5i picks from all of your model portfolios. Income is fine and dandy, but I'm a bit frustrated with the negative growth characteristics of CVD, but of course am willing to wait if you're still OK with this ETF.

Thanks as always for your valued advice.
