Q: Peter, with the improved Cdn $ here, would it be a good time to pick up some additional US positions ? In particular could you give an opinion on Berkshire. Thank you for this and all the great guidance you have provided. I look at the value here and my returns with you, and I cringe at the years I spent with the full service investment outfit I was with. Thank you !!

Q: Hi,
I am trying to find a way to capitalize on the mobile space as there is a lot of research out there this is a growing area as people start to use more smartphones. I have come across a London based company call Monitise (MONIF on the OTC). Although its on the pink sheets it’s a 1.8 Billion market cap company. Both Visa and Mastercard hold a chunk of shares. I am looking to get your thoughts on this company, or preferably one that is listed in Canada that I might have overlooked?
Thanks!

Q: Good morning 5i team,
I know that your main focus is on canadian stocks, but i see that you have graciously responded to questions on american socks as well, which encourages me to ask the following question:
We read that it is often good to add american stocks to a canadian portfolio because of the concentration of the tsx in certain sectors. If you were to balance out your income port along these lines, what american sectors would you choose, and if it is not asking too much, what companies would you choose in these sectors?
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
First of all,peter, sorry to hear about your biking accident. Hope you are doing ok. My major holding in the hralth care sector isPfizer, on which i have a good profit, and in an rrsp, so no worries about capital gains tax. I have noticed that you like jnj a lot. I have been thinkig of switching from pfizer into jnj, mainly because jnj seems like a safer bet, since it is almost, you might say, a conglomerate. The rest of my portfolio is fairly balanced, so this decision only affects these stocks and this sector. I was wondering what your thoughts are on this idea?
Thanks

Q: I have owned SYNA synaptics for a 120% run up. Happy of course. As long as it keeps performing, is this a hold or is there anything to be concerned about the B/S, and perhaps time to look at something else. Any recommendations. Thanks.
