Q: I have zero exposure to utilities at the present time. I believe that you advocate having exposure to all sectors of the market because you never can know for certain what the market will do. While most people expect interest rates to rise and utilities to under perform, the same could have been said in 2013. Which is your favourite utility and which utility offers the best dividend growth to potentially offset future interest rate increases. I am looking for low volatility, good dividend yield and good dividend growth.
Thank you,

Q: I've done quite well since joining 5i and I think most investors have done very well so far in 2016. My main question is whether we should unwind some of our investments and have cash on hand. Do you recommend being fully invested all the time? If not, how much cash should someone have?
Q: Both these companies are small real estate enterprises. Very small and not followed. Can you offer some comment on their investment parameters. What are the key numbers/ratios here. What are some of the comparable in the REIT space or otherwise. Thank you
Q: Any reason for the high volume move up today? Maybe a delayed reaction to the news that the litigation issue has been finally put to rest?

Q: Would it be possible to make reports such as the latest "bonus report" of Price Target Mean available in in CSV/Excel format? It would be very convenient for analyzing/sorting/filtering.
Q: Would you add to positions in either of these companies after today's news and the subsequent rises, or wait?
Q: Not sure if you follow this at all. I am looking to purchase shares in ARCO (Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc). The stocks has done well, perhaps part of the Brazil bounce, but still looks cheap. My thinking is that with McDonald's once again doing well, this stock may also. Thank-you very much.
Q: I a chasing dividends. Own 21 other diversified stocks with 5-6 percent weightings. I am looking at CPX, AD, FC and TF. What are your ratings on these 1 to 4. Thanks in advance.

Q: Hello 5I,
This is a follow-up to questions asked about Extendicare Inc that were asked in June. At the time you commented that it was fine for higher risk income. Has your view changed any with the release of 2nd Qtr earnings? CIBC points out that "EXE trades at a discount to its peers on every metric" .The company has identified $465M of development/redevelopment initiatives that it is planning to undertake. CIBC feels that EXE can accomplish this with internal resources.
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Bob Ahearn

Q: re Timmons Gold: TMM, the share price has struggled mightily vs the gold group which has had a great run. The stock has come off the bottom but does it have a future? A sector laggard always raises red flags. Their one producing mine appears to have a remaining short life expectancy. Am I missing something here? Thanks.

Slate Office REIT (SOT.UN)
Q: I have been watching SOT.UN and yesterday it dropped after making an acquisition. I have a balanced REIT portion to my portfolio for income, and I am wondering about adding Slate on this drop as it has an 8.8% payout. My other holdings are Artis REIT, Pure Industrial REIT and Smart REIT. Is Slate of a comparable quality to my existing REIT's and would it be a good addition for income?
Q: Could you please provide your opinion of AMD ( Advanced Micro Devices )Thanx Robbie
Q: Just a follow up comment to your reply. If you think autonomous driving is going to be high growth then you may want to consider International Road Dynamics IRD, on tsx. I know they are tiny but they are seeing an acceleration ( pun intended) of business from public and private concerns. Autonomous driving needs lots of data, monitoring and infrastructure and IRD supplies those products. Recurring revenues as a percentage of business is growing.
Q: As a member of 5iResearch I rec'd an email showing at list of companies with buys, strong buys, Holds, Sell, etc. When I do a search in 5i on this company I cannot find any information. And yet you are listing it as a strong Buy. Could you explain why this would be a good buy.
