Q: I want to make a short term investment to get the next dividend payment. I have $33K to invest for the longterm. However, while I make up my mind about which stocks, I want to put my cash to work. What high yield, safe stock can I buy to get the next dividend payment. (Meaning; whose ex-dividend date is coming up in the next several days or a week.) I realize I would pay 2 trading commissions to buy and sell.

Q: Peter and Team:

I am a long term investor and understand your thoughts on market timing and political influences.
Having said that, which companies in your balanced portfolio stand the most to loose if we get into a protracted trade dispute with Donald and his gang.

Thanks

Phil

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
