Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

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

Q: I have 2% in Aem. I also hold SJ, ccl.b. in the materials sector total 5% in materials.I am considering selling AEM at 75 to lock more than 50% profit..if it touches that limit and would like to invest in another gold stock or AEM itself at a lower price. Do you agree with this strategy? This is a registered account. Or should I just stick with continuing to hold Aem at any price as a hedge? Would you suggest richmont as an alternative or addition? Thanks 5i.

Q: Alqonquin, Capial Power, and Altagas have rate reset preferred shares selling at a significant discount with reset dates in 2018. With a 5 year Government rate of .55 to .7 they have issues that will still offer a very attractive rate of return. For a conservative investor would you rate these issuing companies as an acceptable TFSA investment?. How would you rank them?

Thanks Team

Q: My question regarding BCE.PR.S. After a number of years of owing this preferred, is it worth holding any longer. It has lost a lot of value since my purchase, I believe it has a floating rate dividend.
Thanks for your opinion. I was thinking of switching to BCE common share.

Q: I hold many quality dividend paying stocks which are reaching new highs in the face of a solid wall of risky economic scenarios including a possible real estate bubble, the impact from Brexit and possible Trump victory, probably inflated commodity stock prices, an uncertain energy outlook and so on. Does any of this suggest taking profits and retreating to the sidelines? A recent comment by David Rosenberg posed equity values appear to be whistling by the graveyard. Your thoughts?

Q: I have owned this preferred for 3+ years and am getting impatient with it. I purchased it for income, but have lost more in value. I am thinking about selling it and taking my loss and just buy BCE and collect their dividend, and hope for a little growth.
Is this a good idea, what are your thoughts. Any other suggestion would be appreciated.
5i has been very informative, I really enjoy it.
