Q: I'm holding about 5% of my investments in cash in a US dollar account and looking to invest in a blue chip dividend paying stock. Maybe one of the two above or another name you like. I'm 80 so dividend and low risk is what I would like to find.
Thanks for your great service

Q: Pepsi and Proctor and Gamble have both thaken about a four percent loss today. Pepsi took a loss yesterday, too, I believe because of sugar tax being imposed in certain cities. I am thinking about adding to my positions in these two on this drop. But, it seems to be a fairly large drop and I don't see any reason for it. I would, as usually, greatly appreciate your thoughts on this.
thanks

Q: Hi, I know you've already answered a few questions on the exchange offered by PG but I'm still too obtuse to understand the ramifications.

Very simply, if I own 50 shares of PG and I tender them as part of the exchange, will I still own 50 shares of PG afterwards, plus the shares of the new spin-off, or will I only only shares in the new spin-off?

I have to provide instructions by September 28.

Thank you,

Q: This is a follow up to my September 20th question re Proctor and Gamble's offer re Galleria Company and beauty division spinoff. Can you explain the pro-rate allocation you mentioned. I was expecting $1.075 in Galleria Company stock in exchange for $1 of P & G stock. Is there a possibility of more, considering your comment on the majority of people tendering, due to the 7% discount. When you say "yes" to the offer were you also suggesting one would keep the Galleria stock, or simply flip it and go back into P & G.

Thanks

Paul

Q: Please give me your opinion on the following exchange offer I received in the mail today. P & G is offering to convert each dollar value of their common stock into $ 1.075 worth of Galleria Company stock. Galleria Company is then going to merge with a sub of Coty corporation called Green Acquisition Sub Inc. It will be called Galleria company and will be a sub of COTY. It appears the company is spinning off their beauty division.

Many Thanks

Paul

Q: 11:49 AM 12/21/2015
Hello 5i
I manage my adult son's RRSP. We have a 10% position in FNV that is up 320% from when he purchased it and have no intention of selling it at all.
We also have a 2% position in Goldcorp down 52% and a 2% position in Premier Gold down 56% from purchase.
We like all three companies and think they have good prospects. However we want to reduce the gold holdings a bit and wonder if we should just sell one of G or PG, or maybe sell both G and PG.
1. Which would you sell if you wanted to sell just one?
2. Would you advise selling both and just keeping the FNV?
Thank you..........Paul K

Q: Premier Gold PG does not seem to keep pace with other miners in this space. There is a lot of insider buying and the projects look good, can you explain why this stock seems to lag. I hold it along with others, MUX,TMM,TML,BTO,TGZ. What would you do with it? I think the miners will continue to gain strength thru the summer but I am perplexed about PG. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i Team!

I am looking to buy a consumer staple and I see that although you don't cover it, you seem to have good expectations for PG.

Read a couple articles talking about its recent decline being tied to the emerging markets crisis.. Would you recommend buying it at this level? waiting? or is there a better option?

Thanks in advance!

Q: Hello Peter,

Would you take a moment to review Premier Gold's (PG) PEA details released today? Their Hardrock operation appears to be interesting given its grade, 15-year mine life, all-in cash cost of $803/oz, and average yearly production of >200,000 oz. Considering as well the safe jurisdiction and competent management, coupled with some interesting insider buying over the last few months is this a good entry point?

Q: Hey 5I Team,
I am having a hard time buying a consumer staple stock such as: ul,tatyy,syy,pg,nsrgy,krft,kmb,hnz,gis,cag,clx,cpb as they have not met my minimum threshold of 4% dividend. Should I wait for this to happen as that sector seems overvalued? I do not want to buy in and get hit like the RIET sector. Currently what would be your best pick out of these, or do you have another?
You guys are the best!
