Q: Hi,
We have owned PHO for many years and I was planning on adding it. However over the past 5 years it has been rather choppy and not as consistent compared to xylem. Should we stay with PHO or switch into a different water stock? If you were me what would be your top choice in this sector? Looking for growth and consistency with 10 year plus time frame. Thanks

Q: To add to your response to John this morning regarding sources for latest company news, you can often get up-to-the-second information about a company by searching Twitter using the company's ticker symbol with a dollar sign in front of it, and clicking the "Latest" tab. A couple caveats: the signal-to-noise ratio can be extremely low, and it will return tweets about all companies using the same ticker from all exchanges. Searching with $DWS in this manner cites BNN as the reason for its big move in line with 5i's response, but also returns news spam from dubious financial websites and info about DWS Group, which shares the same ticker. Nonetheless this method can frequently provide quick satisfaction during those what-the-heck-is-going-on moments!

Q: Hello 5i team,
I want to add some funds to the energy and financial sectors and I currently hold both ENB and FSZ from the model portfolios. Both have had increasing dividends for the past 5 years but both have also gone down in the past year.

I was wondering if you have any idea why FSZ has declined and if it is still ok to add to both these holdings?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: What is the best place to get the very latest news on Canadian companies? Free would be best but I would be willing to pay if it was a good service. I see moves in stocks I own and then often have to “Google” the company and find the relevant news. What does 5i use, Morningstar?
On this note, I see a move in DWS-X today with big volume, but could not find any news. Do you know what this is about?
Thanks
John
