Q: I have a reasonable gain of about 35% on this stock. However the pending acquisition of Whole Foods by Amazon has hit many retailers short term. I am pretty good at holding stocks through "noise" but I am considering taking profits here and moving on, in particular to Home Depot or Wyndham Worldwide. May I have your thoughts on this possible move. Thank you. Bill

Q: I don't currently have a stake in the US technology industry, and am thinking of using the recent pullback as a good entry point. What do you think of the US tech sector for a long-term hold? Could you comment on using XQQ to meet this objective and an appropriate percentage allocation? Are there any other TSX/CDN$ ETFs with large holdings in US tech that you would recommend instead?
Thank-you
Thank-you
Q: So is a good time to buy into this stock, or is there something that has caused this drop that the market does not like, does it have a big short position? Would you let it drop further before buying into this slide?
Q: Not too long ago I had about a 3% position in EIF, with similar amounts in 2 accounts (cash and RRSP) and nice profits. Today, not so pretty. Do you have any explanation for the almost daily drop in price, or today when it fell off a cliff? After today I have small gains in the cash account and a loss in the RSP. A few weeks ago I sold about a third from each account (at around $36). Would you recommend selling everything, holding, or adding back the one-third sold? Has there been any insider activity or guidance and do you know what their payout percentage is?
Thank-you
Thank-you

Q: Hi 5i,
Just a note on your answer to Luca’s question about the conversion date for the ALA.R subscription receipts. You mentioned June 30th. Also important to keep in mind that it’s 2018. No need to publish this if someone else already mentioned it. Cheers!

Q: You mentioned in an answer to a recent question that you think of ALA as more infrastructure. As such, would you classify ALA as in the industrial sector?
Q: Regarding today's decrease in the price of CCL.B you responded to a question "CCL has done a secondary bought deal of $333 million at a discount". I must admit that I do not understand the answer, nor do I understand why this would cause a significant drop in the price of a stock. I would greatly appreciate clarification of your answer. Thank you.
