Q: Greetings 5i,

Tahoe Resources, which I hold in 3/4 position costs @ $6.90. Im down about 15% after a small run recently and todays pullback on negative news. I have been in this expecting a positive announcement regarding re-opening Escobal and today it was announced that there will be layoffs. The company has also today, after market close and in contrast to the news earlier, announced record gold production. Perhaps some gamesmanship by the company on both announcements/developments which I guess I can appreciate given the strange situation with Escobal.

Anyhow, what is the current 5i take regarding
1. the company in general and its future prospects
2. the Escobal situation and likelihood of re-opening
3. how to play the position (add/sell/hold)

I am quite comfortable holding providing most of the bad news is baked in already. My timeline is 2-3 years.

Cheers!

Q: I am concerned about rising interest rates and the recent performance of utility stocks. Should I sell my Fortis and BEP shares and add to my position in SLF ? Is it possible that the affects of rising rates are already priced into these utility stocks ?

Q: I'm thinking about increasing my US exposure and buying VOO in my RRSP. I don't need the money for at least 10 years...
When to buy is always a bit perplexing...with the US markets at all time highs one would think that this is not a great time to be buying and it might be smarter to wait for an inevitable correction.
But at the same time, with the tax cuts that have recently gone through down south, as well as the overall improvement in the business environment, I can't see how that isn't going to drive the markets even higher.
Thoughts?

Q: Enghouse's recent announcement of the new "President", has him starting immediately, without any explanation as to a departing "President". Is it correct to assume there was no prior President of the Company, and in the past the CEO and President role were both held by Stephen Sadler, or is this a vacancy that is getting filled? Why would there not be a better explanation in the press release, this could be construed as a negative?

Q: Hello:back In the 1990’s the tsx and the Dow were just about even. Today there is about a 10000 point difference. In general terms, can you explain why this has occurred. Also I have read in several articles that the tsx usually lags the Dow by about six months to a year. (Either up or down). Do you agree with this statement. If yes will the tsx begin to narrow the gap in the next few years?
