Q: Good day,
This stock seems to be holding quite well in the .present debacle. What is your analyse of it ? Would you buy it now ? And could you explain me, in simple terms, what they do ?
By the way, your report of March 19 on special opportunities was nothing but "WOW" ! Most appreciated !
Thank you for your outstanding service,

Jacques ids

Q: Hello Team,
May I have your thoughts on both Invesco and Lazard asAmerican Asset Management companies.
Both I believe have growth and the valuation has been blown out of proportion.
If not, would you recommend siding with Morgan Stanley or JP Morgan as the better choices.

Thank you

Q: Hi there,

I'm currently in 100% cash. What are typical signs of a rebound and that the turbulence is over and how long does it usually take? In other words, traditionally what signals would one use to know when to buy back into the mark. Also, for simplicity sake, what ETF would you recommend buying to get torque coming of the bottom or that would lead out of the bottom/recession?

Thanks!

Q: Just a comment: This is becoming frightening. The media needs a new focus, something else to talk about. They are creating too much fear. Unfortunately good news just doesn’t make for very interesting news. Not that I wish for different bad news but something else needs to happen to get this off front page news.

Q: In rebalancing just before the coronavirus and oil correction I find my self in a 27% cash position. { 18% American and 9% Canadian } . In following 5I's advice I decided to weigh in slowly. And am mostly looking at 5I's list of 10 stocks to purchase. First purchase JPM for a 4.6% position. Two days later and another large correction. I hadn't planned on another purchase this quickly but SLF { for a 3.5% position } is looking attractive at this price as the yield has reached 4.3%. CAE is also on my list but I think waiting and observing market reaction might be prudent on this one ..... My question is .... Should I be shopping by price entry points on stocks I like or by treating the market as a whole and wading in by observing and making my judgements on volatility ? I guess the question is stock versus stock market ? Also in a question this morning I got the impression 5I gave the edge to MOC over X . X is on my short list as well but with US cash to deploy MCO is tempting as well. Am I correct in my assumption you like MCO a little better in this sector ?

Q: Considering the huge drop in portfolio values, do you still recommend staying the course or would it be prudent to take profits where we still have them?

Q: I am looking to pair ETFs or stocks for growth and safety. What do you think about this idea and XMU [or ZLU] and ZUQ, for example. What portfolio percentage would you allocate to this strategy?
