Q: Hi there Bought a bit more of SYZ after what I thought were excellent quarterly results. Since then share price has been dropping steadily. Other than inside selling any other idea why this might be occurring? Another question I pondered about was how an insider sold 500000 shares in a couple days when the stock is so lightly traded. Do you think that was a single block trade - a prearranged transaction?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i: I split my investing between a number of different portfolios. One is a dividend reinvesting portfolio focused on dividend growers - all Canadian at the moment. My holdings consist of the usual suspects, big companies covering banks, telecoms, pipes, and utilities. I added a small position in Crius a few days ago, but I want to diversify some more. Any suggestions? I have no industrials, bio/health, consumer or info tech. I could include US stocks if necessary. If you would make a few suggestions I would appreciate it. Many thanks.

Q: Hi,,

I know this company would not be on your radar given the small size. That said, could you provide commentary on the potential prospects for this company and the balance sheet. I understand they have cash and growing revenues. Is there insider ownership? Any further insights would be appreciated.

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i: Re Gildan. I just logged on to ask about Gildan's drop today and I've read your response to the earlier Gildan question. I was concerned that Gildan was very exposed to a Trump attack, given that they changed their minds about buying American Apparel's US manufacturing facilities, and only bought rights to the brand. The news item I read on RBC Direct described the large layoffs in California and notes that Gildan employs thousands outside the US. The American Apparels "brand" is all about "American . . . .". Seems to me Gildan is very vulnerable; one might even say "asking for it"!. What do you think?

Q: Hello Folks:
We hold US industrial stocks such as Cummins, GE, UTX, BA, CVX etc.
It appears likely the incoming U.S. administration will prioritize infrastructure spending. Do you feel this will be the case, and if so, have you some large cap stocks I could consider?
Thank You For Everything

Q: Yesterday BNN guest suggested TRP.PR.K to use as a saving account as it is a reset with a minimum 4.5% reset or better. For those of us with excess cash do you recommend using this security as an alternate to a MMF?

QQQX was pointed out to me as an interesting CEF with a 7.1% yield as well as some very interesting growth oriented holdings. What do you think about this CEF?

With thanks

Q: I'm starting to question why I should keep holding-on to "Peyto" for its 4.7% dividend. Natural gas lost of lot of ground and Equity Clock shows that seasonally it goes much lower during the end of summer. What concerns me the most is this: Could PeyTo be impacted by Trump's BAT? GameHost has a 5% dividend. If what I want is income and insulation from the Trump's trade war, is that a smart switch?

Q: Hello Peter,
I am currently underweight commodities and overweight technology. What would you think of selling DSG and ENGH and buying TOG and RRX? Do you think whatever incremental return expected by this change would justify the increase in volatility and risk?
Also, what are the approx wait times in terms of weeks for a portfolio review?
Regards.
