Q: I don't have much experience with investing, but from what I've seen, the share prices of companies in the days after an IPO are almost always higher than the initial IPO price. Is it a no brainer then to try and get into as many IPOs as possible, particularly if they're of the "high profile" variety?

Q: I tried to search the site in the blog section for information on the 5% suggestion for individual stocks. No actual search feature for individual articles. so could I get a reason for the purpose of the suggestion. How it should work ie if you have 7% do go back to 5 or let it ride and wait what would the top percentage when to trim. I have TD up 0ver 200% at 12% of portfolio but it is a good dividen payer and stable stock??
Q: Jerome Hass was Market Call, his comments, left me with the impression, that insiders were planning to privatizing this company. Is there no indication on who is looking at the company to buy?? Also, you stated to Ruby that the div. @ 81/2 % is risky, is that because the cash flow or the company could use the money to buy back shares. If they cancelled or greatly reduced the div. then possibly the stock would drop in value and make it cheaper for a buy out??? This seems to me, if any of this was true, would be very unethical, & would there not be some safe guards to prevent this Earl

Q: I would like to move to a portfolio with at least 30% exposure to the US. I already own VFV and VUN which comprise 10% of my portfolio. Rather than attempt to buy individual US stocks, it makes sense to me to continue to buy these very low cost ETFs, both of which provide significant diversification into the US. With VFV there is the added diversification bonus that almost 50% of the companies listed have business outside the US. I would appreciate your opinion of this strategy.
Q: Let's say I contributed $51K into my TFSA, and my portfolio grew to $100K. If I decided to liquidate my portfolio and withdraw all of the cash from my TFSA in December, how much can I contribute back to my TFSA in January? Would it be the new year's contribution limit plus the $100K that I took out?

Q: The trading halt by IIROC puzzled me. And just before the close, AGT released preliminary Q1 results which doesn't look good. What information that IIROC had that would trigger this halt? Early in the morning National Bank cut target price from 42 to 36. Did they know something? How are the preliminary results compared to analysts estimate? Thanks.

Q: Just a follow up on the question today about healthy menu companies, I might suggest Ten Peaks as well. Decaf coffee sales are on the rise and the Swiss Water Process ( ie Ten Peaks) is regarded as the premier method. Their 1st Q earnings come out next week so we will have a better idea of business at that time.
