Q: Hi 5I- We are a couple of RRIF collecting seniors with 63% equities, 20% in your income portfolio minus AGU, CPD ,CVD and XHY, and 17% cash. Please comment on our plan to take some profits from our equities to add to our cash and invest half of cash in the missing parts of your income portfolio and wait for a downturn in the market to deploy the rest of the cash to your income model. Would you suggest another option? or add to some of our downers instead, eg. loblaws, enbridge, kwh.un, disney? Appreciate your advice and service, thanks.
Q: Hi 5i team,
for an RRSP account, I am looking to deploy cash and purchase one or two stocks per sector. Presently, I am well diversified by both sectors and geography.
At this time, what would be your favorite stocks based on valuation and potential for dividend growth for each sector?
In my TFSA and RRSP, I already own the following stocks you like: ENB, CXI, GOOGL, GUD, OTEX, PHO, SIS, SLF, TD, WCP and ZCL.
Thanks,
Dan

Q: Is your subscription cost tax deductible as a carrying charge (management expense) provided investments are outside of TFSA's?
Q: Hi Team, Every day for the last week I have been following this stock on the OTC website. My friend bought some 30 days ago at .30 cents, today the stock is $2.29 and he is now up 660%. How can this penny stock be rocketing into outer space with an average daily trade volume of 20,000s? I mean look at the OTC site...the share offerings are in the 100s. It seems to me it's breaking all the trading rules ever thought of. Up, up, and away.....how high will the stock go....and there is no news and no Insider trading?? CRAZY!!!
Can you explain to me both what is going on how is it going on with this stock? PS I have not bought any stock yet. Thanks Team, can't wait for your reply on NRBT.

Q: Cannot find end of October update, has it been released?
Q: 5-I,
Love the new website, particularly the ability to mark questions as favourites ! Obviously a lot of thought and work has been put into this.
You advertise as being completely unbiased as you do not allow your staff to own stocks you follow or comment on. I would like to put forth my thoughts on this and invite other 5-I subscribers to as well. As an investor I want as knowledgeable and thorough a person as possible on the guiding end. I do not care what stocks he or she owns. I believe most of the 5-I subscriber base relies on stocks that are traded in sufficient volume to negate any possibility of a pump and dump routine of a staffer. I follow two popular investment writers from the Globe and Mail and if either ever writes about a stock they own, they simply acknowledge their personal ownership. Actually I feel better that they have the confidence to invest in it themselves.
I think this will come into play even more if you decide ( hopefully ) to someday cover American stocks. I really don't want someone advising me about stocks who doesn't invest in any equities at all. You would not attract the best candidate with this approach. 5-I and its client base deserve as good a quality advisor in the future as you currently have now.

Q: Hi, I am helping my in-laws manage their retirement savings, and I would like to have suggestions for investing the remaining balance in my father-in-law's RRIF (about $7000). The rate of withdrawal is fairly high as he is now 92. I was thinking the best way would be to invest in a balanced, dividend or bond mutual fund, to avoid commissions. This mutual fund, composed of various ETFs, is managed by Larry Berman. It seems to generate a decent and constant dividend, without much volatility. The series D has an MER of about 1.17%. What do you think of this fund? Would you have other suggestions? The overall portfolio is very diversified and of course fairly conservative. Thanks for your service.
Q: Not a question just another compliment, I was enjoying working through your new website and reading "the great new website comments" as I read questions and answers and then I clicked on the AQN profile while reading a question. Not a a great new website ..... A Fantastic New Website! What a wealth of information you have put in. I usually read the questions with another monitor showing one or two stock sites so I can see closing prices, dividends, graphs etc at the same time. You now have all that plus. Great job and many thanks, After an hour and a half on here, I have a feeling that there is still more to discover here. Am most happy that last week I extended my subscription to June 2020!
Thanks again for your insights and now your access to more info.

Q: Great new website.
My question is about interest rates. I saw an interview recently discussing interest rate cycles, stating that we have have had 30 years of interest rate decreases, that interest rates have now bottomed and we have begun a long term trend of rate increase. The guest also said that the last long term rate increase cycle was during the 1950s and 1960s. During that 20 year period, the interest payments on bonds were mostly offset by capital losses, resulting in a net return of less than a half of 1 percent annually over 20 years while stocks returned 19% annually over that period. In your opinion, what would be the catalyst for a repeat of this scenario? Does this mean that retirees should shun bonds in favour of stocks even though the risk might be higher?
Thanks and great work

Q: This is just a comment on Connie's question regarding RIF withdrawal.
If Connie doesn't need the cash, withdrawal can be in kind by transferring the security to her cash account. At TD they do it without any charges. Then she can sell the stock at a more opportune time or when the cash is needed.

Q: I just signed myself up with a cryptocurrency trading platform called coinbase. I'm not that comfortable with the sign up process, feel like I could be susceptible to identity theft because of the area its in. Do you think this is a good choice to use for trading bitcoin. They claim to be the most popular way to buy and sell bitcoin.
Q: Great job on the site update

Q: So, is it time to move into resource stocks? They are all moving and I don't want to start buying at the top again. Is the rally for real this time around? Which would you recommend in oil, gas, minerals, metals. Thanks.
Q: Hi 5i
Thanks for the service. Certainly worth the investment.
While in my view I maintain a diversified balanced portfolio, a major market setback would be uncomfortable. As you will likely tell by this question, my Investor behavior and potential investment actions are currently suspect. It only took a couple of Market Pundits to turn me into a potential seller.
Without all the tools to see money flows and changing trends and without a pile of time to dedicate in a way that will distill the varying Market Opinions, it does not take much some days for me to think I should be exiting the market to protect against a set back.
I do hear lots about strong and growing earning in the US and a mending economy in EuroZone.
What is the case and evidence currently showing through indicating higher markets and stronger companies performance? (recognize set backs come from where we are not looking and can happen without notice)
Aside from the global Quantitative Easing experiment and nose bleed valuations for some stock prices, what caution signs are flashing for you?
Thanks
Dave
