Q: As a newer subscriber to 5i, i am interested in purchasing your BE portfolio. The above names have had huge run ups and I don't know how to approach them. Which ones are buyable at these levels?
Of the ones you deem buyable, can you comment, for each, as to whether a half position or full position should be taken.
And can you rank these in terms in terms of your preferences at current levels?

Thank you for your excellent service, as always.

Q: These stocks are all down 2 to 7 percent in the last month. Given the experience of DH should I be concerned with any of these and sell?

Q: I am wondering which two from the list above I should add. I am a long term investor who typically buys and holds for 5-10 years or longer (basically until the fundamentals change). I am 40 years old with a 70/30 stocks/bonds split and I hold emerging markets etc. in the recommended amounts. I am just looking to add two high quality names for the long term here to add to my existing equity portion. Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter & Team, in my portfolio I have positions in all sectors of the economy except for materials. Other than gold stocks, could you suggest 2 or 3 names, in the materials sector, that have decent dividend and growth potential ? Thank you, Gervais

Q: Hi, CCL Industries stock price has stalled lately after touching a high of $249, few months ago. Recent acquisitions, including Checkpoint systems should be positive to its business and profitability should only go up. Even when markets are hitting new highs every day, stock price seems unable to move out of its narrow range although most analysts have price targets between $275-$285. CCL.b is almost 8.5% of portfolio and I am considering scaling it down. What is holding its price performance, in your view? Based on the recent Winpak results and other information/indicators, is it prudent to wait until quarterly results are released or act now to avoid risk of a surprise on the downside? Thanks

Q: Hi guys
I should have added one of these about 2 years ago but unfortunately did not. Looking at their trading price today, and as a long term hold for at least 5 years which stock would you buy today. Looking at about a 4% weight in a diversified portfolio.

Q: I am resubmitting this question as apparently the symbols did not show up with my first question. Can you please comment on these stocks as to suitability for a GROWTH portfolio and if you have any concerns over any of these. Are there any substitutions you would make to this list? Thank you.

Q: After buying CCL.B at $98 less than two years ago, I've just sold off my small position, figuring -- based on my very amateurish technical analysis skills -- that it's in a range of between $180 and $235. I'd like to buy it back again later in the summer. Would you agree or disagree with my thesis, and if you agree, at what price would you put in a standing order? Also, my concern about CCL.B at $235 was the 25 PE multiple my Investorline account shows. I know you like to say "pay up for good companies," but a 25 PE for a label maker?
