Q: I am thinking of adding some Northwest Co. to my portfolio. I have read your comments on NWC's recent quarter and would like any information on insider holdings and any strong institutional interests(s). Appreciate your thoughts on what are the preferred metrics for looking at consumer staple stocks such as L, MRU, EMP.B and ATD.B Thanks for all you do. / Bill

Q: Good Morning: I have been reading some of the recent questions related to bond etfs. I have been avoiding bonds and using preferred shares instead for fixed income in my portfolio, slightly better yield although also struggling through 2015. I notice that the yield for the two bond etfs mentioned is roughly 3.2 (CBO) and 3.1 (XCB). (Taken from BMO Investorline trailing 12 months average payout.) In your opinion, what can I expect in terms of yield from these instruments going forward -- roughly the same, a little more, or a little less? Also, I notice (not surprisingly) that the share price for CBO is near its 5 year low, whereas for XCB it is slightly up over the same period. What would your opinion be in terms of share price direction for each over the next 2 to 3 years as well. Many thanks. Don

Q: I recently sold a small position in CZO after the run up and their announcement today. I did not like the private placement doubling while simultaneously lower the strike price on warrants to $1.50... I thought the previously sized raise and terms were very strategic but now I think there could easily be some cash over hang and general selling pressure with the raise and warrants priced much lower. Do you share this view? What do you think is a decent re-entry point for a higher risk investor?
Thanks

Q: Hell 5i team,
We have all dropped the superlatives regarding your excellent service,because of getting used to it, but we still believe you are great, even though we don't mention it as much!
I have two questions here, really. I have Stella Jones and Stantec in my TFSA and I have been wondering whether it is worth it to sell them and buy something like New Flyer there and putting these two in my margin account, obviously because of growth potential. How would you see this move?

Also, in an answer this morning you put PG in health care. Is that because it has enough of a health care business that you could classify it that way? On Morningstar it is classified in household and Personal products, I think.
thanks
