Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Further to Larry's question on Hack, it appears Pure Funds only has 2 very unique funds at this time (albeit with plans to add more). Should one be wary of investing in a new fund provider, especially one offering a non traditional product line-up. I like the idea of the Hack fund but am somewhat wary of Pure Funds unless they have a proven prior track record in the industry? How much of a concern should this be?

Q: Most (if not all) North American rail companies have pulled back in recent months, some are down ~20% from 2015 highs. Is this a good entry point for UNP.us? If you have a better suggestion [ CSX, NSC or other] I would appreciate your input. I would prefer a Canadian railway , but only if you think its future prospects are favorably comparable to one of the US ones. Thanks
UNP got my attention because of its rail connections with fast-growing Mexico.

Q: Hello, Can you tell me what do you think of this REIT? It has taken a beating since being spun out from Simon Properties. It has a 7% yield & some insider buying. It was a top pick from Derek Warren on Market Call yesterday.
Thanks,

Q: Greetings! What do you think of Helen of Troy as a growth stock? Ford Equity Research rates it as a "BUY". Is it over=priced? And, can you suggest a couple of other US stocks for fairly rapid growth?

Q: Hi 5i:
I have not specifically bought any stocks as a play on US housing, but I'm thinking it may be time to do so. For possibilities I'm looking at Canadian lumber stocks, US home builders and US banks as sectors from which to chose. Do you have any advice? Of the US banks I've heard WFC suggested as the best housing play. Would you agree?

Q: Hi 5I: currently my portfolio holds only Canadian growth stocks. We feel that we are missing US growth, so therefore would appreciate your help. With 150K (Canadian) to invest, could you give 4 or 5 suggestions that we might enjoy the same measure of growth and dividends we get from the model portfolio.

Q: Hello 5i,

I have owned this company for about a month, just lucky and wanting a stable dividend player with some growth. My experience tells me hold for the remainder of a run-up and sell. Then wait for a conclusion.

What do you think,

Much appreciated as always,
