Q: I am a senior , I am of the view that bonds , preferred shares, fixed income are not as effective an investment device compared to Canadian bank shares. I don't see a lot of risk over the years, but large and consistent yields. Besides liquidity in a bad recession, where else do you see downside by treating bank stocks as fixed ,long term income investments, hence overweight positions in a portfolio.Thanks to a great team for your exceptional service, Jerry

Q: I have been watching this micro cap (Eurocontrol Technics - EUO)for awhile now. After the sale of one of their technologies early last year the company is now trading at approximately cash / cash equivalents on the balance sheet and it boasts some interesting imagery & composition technology in the semiconductor measurement space which is just entering the commercial stage. The technology seems somewhat aligned with Photon Controls business which has done wonders. Would this be an interesting business combination? What do you think of EUO as a micro cap speculation for high risk capital?

Thanks

Q: From a technical standpoint RRX had broken down a while ago. MACD earlier in April, RSI just recently in official oversold territory and the Williams Percent range in the sell category roughly around the same time as MACD. I remember holding "quality" oil stocks as oil drifted from $100 to much lower, as many other did. What do the pros do with "quality" stocks in a poor sector? And with a poor forcast for oil prices at least now?
In RRX at just under $10. Right now its less than a %2 in portfolio.

Q: Dear 5i
My son has $6000 to invest and prefers solid earnings growth companies . He does not need the money anytime soon . What stocks would you suggest at this time .
I suggested no more than 5% in any one stock but this would not be much per stock with this amount of money . How many stocks should he have and what would you consider a full position under this scenario ?
Thanks
Bill C.
