Q: What do you think generally of trailing stops as a protective strategy? And specifically, I was fully invested in Shopify at an average cost of about $90. Now it is starting to seriously unbalance my portfolio, and yet I hate to sell any of it when it is doing so well. If you think a trailing stop would make sense in my case where would you set the delta?
Thanks.

Q: Hi

Two months ago I invested a severance that closely followed your balanced portfolio. It has done well. I recently had a pension transferred to a LIRA and want to invest that too. A part of me is hesitant to invest the LIRA in equities such as CSU or GC as examples given their terrific gains already. 8 weeks ago CSU was $900 and I thought I was taking a risk then but it went up even higher so it worked out. My question is when is it too late to hop on the 5i train? especially if you are a relatively new subscriber such as myself. Note, I still do my own research and make my own adjustments on my portfolio.

I'm really glad I subscribed. It has been a great decision thus far.

Thanks!

Q: Good evening 5i gang. Stryker has dropped with the talk about Boston Scientific purchase. Could this be a good time to purchase more. ? I have half a position. Should we expect more volitility?
Also..I just want to say thankyou. I joined in around March or April 2014. I am up 50%. That was one of the best decisions of my life.
Thank you

Q: Would you consider the Stars Group still a reasonable buy at its current share price?

Would you consider the Stars Group a potential take-over target?

Thank you so much. I still hold the Stars shares I bought many years ago when your dream team recommended it. It has been a wonder stock - right up there with Constellation Software and many other winners you have recommended.

Well done and thanks, Peter

Q: Keeping in mind the extended length of the current bull market, the often bewildering ‘noise’ emanating from our once friendly neighbour to the south, and a myriad of other moving parts, I’m finding it difficult to identify Canadian companies that can survive and continue to grow over the long term. I would greatly appreciate it if you would share with me a list of dividend paying Canadian companies that are so well-managed and have such strong stories that you believe they have an excellent chance to continue to grow and flourish well into the future. I would consider these companies to become core holdings and held for 5 to 10 years. Hopefully, your choices would represent multiple sectors.

Q: I have noticed in the last few minutes of trading on the big US boards large trades in AAPL, AMZN, BRK, GOOGL and V to name a few of the stocks. Does this mean anything?
