Q: Hi, Sylogist stock is trading near its all time high, after Cormark's coverage. I am aware that a few months ago 5i sold the stock in Balanced Portfolio. However, we kept our core holding and are quite happy with it. We started a family memeber's portfolio (LIRA) recently with some cash and have invetsed in PBH, TSGI, KXS,SIS,SJ and TCL.a. Still waiting for an opportunity for CSU and BYD.un. What do you think of SYZ at current prices to be added ? Thanks

Q: What can you tell me about Revive Therapeutics. I know it's risky and you likely won't recommend it, but any information would be helpful. The stock has jumped on news of receiving orphan drug status for one of their programs. Is this overly significant? I know it creates excitement, but ultimately how does it add to the actual value of the stock?
Q: To add to Julien’s post from today on bonds. I am in a very similar situation, younger (early 30s) with no bond exposure, all equities in the portfolio. I’d like to start adding some bond exposure through ETFs and did appreciate your suggestions on specific names. My question is, what etf would you say is a ‘one stop shop’ for bond exposure, as I like to keep it to one or two names at most. I’ve seen ZAG or VAB mentioned before. I’d like to keep it in CAD as I don’t want to add exchange risk. The purpose for the bond exposure would be to add uncorrelated assets and reduce volatility. Thank you as always

Q: Today's drop in Cineplex suggests that the market was underwhelmed by the increased business with Cinemark in the US reported yesterday. Have you any idea why this would be so? It seems to me to add to their attempt at further diversification in the entertainment business.
Q: Where can I find out what the payout ratio (dividend) is for Telus or any other company. I cannot seem to find it in your company profile. Also what percentage would you consider the payout ratio to be too high?
Q: Recently I moved my investments from manulife funds to mawer. Manulife had a gauarenteed 5% return but the higher management fees were my reason for the switch. The mawer adviser put all of my investments into the balanced fund series a. I took a hit on the move due to the manulife dsc, but had a few weeks of good returns to make up for it. Was this a good move long term and should I not panic over the last couple of days. Should I look to some of their other funds so I’m not all in on the balanced fund.

Q: What are your top 3 picks in the utility space and why? Thanks.
Q: I like the overview that is provided there.
However, with diversification and sector blends being frequent topics of interest and sources of questions, it would be helpful, at least for me, if 5i were to provide a sector overview each month as well as a frame of reference for managing our own portfolios. For example, technology 25% of TSX in May, up 3% over 2017; etc by sector and in a simple chart format. Any chance of that happening?
In the meantime, where can I find that kind of information. I have looked at the TSX.com website as well as the RBC Direct Investing sites and been unsuccessful.
Thanks for you help and guidance here.
