Q: For US tech I own NVDA,BIDU, FB and GOOG. BIDU has been underperforming and I am wondering about your opinion of it from a growth perspective. I am considering selling it and adding to the others.
Q: I have owned IPL, PPL & KEY for many years & as a result have built up substantial capital gains & continue to receive very healthy monthly dividends. My question &/or query is whether to continue with these very staple equities or sell all or part to better deploy funds in other sectors. I do not NOW hold any direct oil or gas investments; having sold all in early 2015 as I firmly believe the oversupply of oil & gas will only continue to grow throughout the world until we have replaced it with alternate technologies. Your comments are always appreciated. Thank you.
Q: I am a 69 year old investor. I am wondering about the suitability of XTR-T as a moderate term investment(3-5 years)? I am dripping the generous dividend and am looking for some capital growth as well. If this is considered risky(Especially the dividend) for that time frame could you suggest a better alternative? Many thanks/
Q: Looking for your opinion on the management team at Hamilton Capital Partners Inc, and your opinion on the growth prospects for their ETFs, HBG and HFY.
Q: I am concerned about a correction in the market (both USA and Canada) and am wondering if I should take some profit given the great run over the last 4 months and hold some cash for better buying opportunities should the correction occur later this year. Recent analysts on BNN are also calling for a defensive position with holding cash. What do you think about this strategy and what percent of a portfolio would you suggest to have in cash? Does 10 to 15% make sense? Thank you for your great service.

Q: Hello 5i. I currently have no exposure in Gold/Silver market. With a rising U.S. dollar should I wait for possible entry and would you recommend your top 2 gold and silver stocks or should I go with an index fund?
Q: In my overall portfolio (RSP, RIF, Unregistered & TFSA) my low weighted sectors are:
2.5% in Telecom (BCE & T);
3% in Consumer Staples (WPK & ATD),
3% in energy (RRX, SPB, WCP, VET);
5% in Materials (SJ, SLW/FR, RUS);
6% in Health (GUD, SIS, ECI, CRH, CSH.un)
With the sale of RDM, I have some cash in my RSP which is mostly 'Balanced' equities. Which one or two of my underweight sectors would you consider the first place to deploy the cash in my RSP at this time? And what would your top stock selections be - of either my existing stocks, or new ones ? As always, thank you for your help.

Q: I think I know the answer to this however I need to ask anyways-if someone is just interested in collecting dividends and a small amount of growth, and for simplicity, why not put the vast majority of your investments into the various Brookfield companies-throw in a bank and large oil producer and walk away. The history of the Brookfield companies is very good and I figure if they go down hard, the whole economy is in serious trouble. Your thoughts?
Q: I have accounts at multiple CDIC insured lenders. One of them is Oaken Financial which is composed of CDIC insured Home Bank and Home Trust. I'm concerned about the ongoing problems with parent Home Capital; one thing after another. What's your best estimate of the likelihood of a bankruptcy, serious financial issue etc.with Home Capital which would trigger defaults at the subsidiaries so that I would be dealing with the CDIC regarding my GICs. Thanks
Q: Gamehost just reported earnings would you commit on them please.
Q: I originally bought ERF when the energy sector was flying and there was a good dividend. I didn't move quick enough to sell it when the market dipped and I still have about 1.41% weighting in ERF. The dividend is too low to hold for that alone and I have been waiting for a bounce that makes it look attractive again, but I feel I should move on.
Other energy exposure is SPB 4.57%, WCP 1.31%, FRU 0.7%, SU 0.54%, BEP.UN 4.88%,
I would like to retain some energy exposure and like the idea of income while waiting for growth. Assuming that I am putting these stocks in the correct sector, is this about the right exposure to energy at this time?
What would you recommend as an alternative to ERF, or should I just keep it?

Q: I am so far under water on BDI that I am tasting mud, and a little bit underwater on PD. I am thinking about taking the loss on BDI and dumping whatever pennies I get back into PD as a means to tidy up my portfolio. (I also own small positions in VET, WCP, and SGY - all under water as well.) Does this seem like a reasonable approach for someone with a reasonably long time horizon and a belief that the world is going to need oil for quite a few years yet - even if only as a feedstock for other processes?
Thanks - and congrats on the new baby. Exciting times in at least one 5i household!

Q: What is your view on market linked GIC's - BMO has one that guarantees your principle over 5 years and uses the interest to buy options etc. so investor can participate in some of the market upward performance. Is this a good strategy in a time and market that is well overdue for a major correction.
