Q: Hello Peter,
If i wanted to buy an ETF in India, which one would i be better off with? or am I better to put equal amounts.. Also, I was hoping topicus would replicate csu performance over long term ( i know it has not been in existence for very long but i am under water on topicus). Should i just forget TOI, and LMN, and stick to csu. Much appreciated.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

For portfolio balancing purposes, I need to sell one of the above stocks, and am favouring selling TOI and keeping LMN. Would you concur?

Thanks as always for your insight.

Q: Hello, Lumine shares have rallied almost 20%, since TD initiated coverage on Nov 14, with a BUY rating and $28 price target. Based on its present valuation and growth prospects (5-10 years), vis-a-vis, CSU/TOI, would you be comfortable increasing current position size of 1.75%, even after the run up ? Or would you suggest to add to 3.50% TOI weight ? ( CSU, already being a large weight ). Thank You

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Could you please suggest 20 Canadian and/or U.S. stocks for a "buy and hold" portfolio in an RRSP with average-to-above-average risk and a 5+ year timeframe.

Feel free to subtract as many credits as you see fit.

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!

Q: My wife took early retirement with DB plan. Her RRSP and TFSA are well diversified. She has enough money to invest in about 10 companies. This money is not needed in foreseeable future. However, a small dividend is appreciated along with capital appreciation. It will be invested in a regular account. Can you please suggest top 12 companies.

Thanks inadvance

Q: Finally.... 1st Analyst coverage from RBC capital Markets

" Mr. Kwan became the first analyst to initiated coverage of Lumine Group Inc. (LMN-X), giving it a “buy” rating and $28 target, and Topicus.com Inc. (TOI-X) with a “hold” rating and $99 target. "

Any comments on above ratings/reports ?

They seem to support 5i thesis on both companies.

Thank You

Q: Hello Peter
Can you please comment in Greenlanes results? Also despite Topicus's good results ,the stock is hardly moving. Would it be good idea to sell Topicus to buy Lumine ? Thanks

Q: I bought CSU way back at $400 or so and (despite your advice), hate the idea of selling any more of a stock that seems to do so well month after month. At some point however, I need to reduce CSU again, and am wondering about putting some into LMN which you like as well. I have very small positions in both TOI and LMN, but so far neither has done much in comparison to CSU.

My question is, if CSU has "an event" that drags it down really badly, will the sister companies also get tarred with the same brush? Would I be better looking at something completely different like HPS.A?

Thanks for your advice - I have done well by it!

Q: I have .85 and .79 % holdings respectively in the above 2 companies. The dividend yields are paltry so I'm thinking of consolidating them . Which of the two do you see with better growth potential or could you recommend 3 or 4 others with better growth opportunities irrespective of sector allocation with a dividend and without a dividend. I already hold CSU, LMN, TOI, TFII, GLXY, HPS.A
Thank -you
Jeff

Q: Hello Peter,
From what i gather, all three companies reported good numbers. Lumine group is surging, but bep.un is down and topicus from yahoo shows very little volume. Can you please comment on results? thanks very much

Q: I know you have done this before, but with reference to recent results for both companies, could you compare and rank these two companies. TOI gets a higher grade A- on your most recent report, and LMN gets a B+. As I read through the responses to questions, it seems that LMN is preferred, but I thought TOI's results were better than LMNs. But I must confess I do not understand some of the "preferred" charges. It appears that LMN suffered a huge loss. I realize that both are long term investments, but I'm just trying to get a sense of portfolio allotments. Thank you for fantastic service, as always.
