Q: Good day gentlemen,

I'm down 10% on a 1.5 percent position in goeasy. The stock has been weak as of late, and I noticed in the last Little while you have not included in your favourite growth stocks when asked for your top conviction stocks.

Would you endorse averaging down? And If so, would you wait for positive stock moment first? The
Thx

Q: I own AGU for income, but am concerned with the POT merger. Would either CHE>UN or RUS be a better replacement for income and if so which one do you prefer? Thanks

Q: Good Morning
Both AYA and ITX seem to be recovering now. They both seem to have their issues behind them for now. Would 4% of a portfolio split between the two be too much. Risk is not a worry.
Thank You

Q: This vitamin, and supplement company is going public what is your opinion on it?
Would you buy on the IPO? thx

Q: I know these iShares ETFs were just released, but wondering if you were able to form an opinion on these based on its current holdings. The MER seems quite reasonable and am wondering you feel these would be suitable to gain diversification outside of Canada.

Thank you!

Q: What do you think of SOCL US ETF ? Would you buy it at this price or you think the Canadian Dollar might rise in next few months. Thx

Q: The data I have is showing that Frontera Energy(FEC)has a much higher net margin than PXT, RRX and ERF.(does this mean that it has a better cash flow?) How do you rank these companies in term of buy, hold or sell and best to worst?

Thanks.

Thanks

Q: I am interested in investing in dividend growers that 5-6 years from now would be yielding in the 4 to 5% range. At that time I would change from DRIP to cash payments. Therefore I would accept a lower yield now but would grow to that range. What would you suggest?

Thank you

Paul

Q: Is there any advantage to use a fixed income ETF instead of using an account at Tangerine that pays 2%?
If there is, what would you suggest to use in the fixed income part (which is close to nil) of my unregistered portfolio?

Q: can you give me an opinion on kinross gold td has it as an action list buy

Q: Corning seems reasonably priced with rising trend. Your thoughts, please Thanks Jim

Q: Dear 5i,

I am aiming to configure a fixed-income allocation that is an equal compromise between safety/security and long-term total return potential. I would like to choose ETFs that are versatile enough that they may continue to be reasonably held irrespective of changes in market, interest rate, inflation, and economic conditions. Which configuration do you think would be most appropriate for fulfilling this mandate:

1. 100% VAB
2. 50% VAB, 50% VCB or ZCM
3. 25% VAB, 25% VSB, 50% VCB or ZCM
4. 50% VCB or ZCM, 50% intermediate-duration (~5 years) Canadian government bond ETF (does one exist?)
5. another configuration (please suggest)?

I would prefer to avoid the higher risk XHY and CPD. Why does 5i prefer CLF (VSG is cheaper and similar) and CBO (VSC is cheaper and similar)? VCB is relatively new and has only $12.7M in net assets at this time, is this a problem? Or should I opt for the costlier but similar ZCM?

I realize there are actually many embedded questions in this 'question', so please deduct as many credits as appropriate. I am sure your answer will be well worth it.

Thank you.

Q: Firstly, thank you for your insight into the various securities. BRP has offered to purchase up to 350M subordinate voting shares on an Auction Tender at between 37 and 44 per share in increments of .10 until July 17th (unless withdrawn or extended.) Is it best to hold? Can you offer guidance? Thank you again ... Marty

Q: What is your opinion of buying any or all of the above at this time for some US exposure generally and for these sectors specifically.Please rank them in the order you'd recommend them and I understand the limitation of your opinion regarding US equities. Thanks - Ken
