Q: I am down about 20% on CPD which I bought primarily to stabilize my diversified portfolio. It comprises about 3.5% of my portfolio so it has not been a particularly good stabilizer. I understand how the rate reset preferred shares held in the ETF have depressed its value, but I find it hard to predict what is likely to happen over the next few years. Any predictions? I have been thinking of slowly reducing the amount that I hold and switching into a bond ETF (though even CBO and HFR have been slowly declining). Your sage advice would be appreciated.

Q: Could you recommend a company that is addressing the issue of moving the medical field to electronic storage. I here that Canadian doctors are behind the times in record keeping and continue to use paper files as I see in my own doctor's office. A blog mentioned Telus is involved in this space but not sure if that's true.

Q: I am looking for some income products to diversify my portfolio. Royal Bank offers what they call Managed Payout Solution products, symbols RBF581, RBF582 and RBF578. While the yield is high for each, the MERs are very high. Also, it is not clear that there are no other hidden fees such as trailers, or front or rear end loading. I would appreciate your opinion of these products.

Q: Hello Team 5i

I have an idea. Please tell me if this makes sense to you. I am down significantly in 5 stocks, CXI(-40%), AVO(-53%), BDI(-74%), TOG(-53%) and TOU(-54%). My plan is to sell these in my RRSP as I will have to one day pay tax on them in the future. Buy them back in my TFSA(and my husbands depending on the limit for 2016). My hope is that the stocks will appreciate in my TFSA tax free. Of these 5 stocks is there one or two you would be extra cautious on. Your thoughts. Thank you

Q: I am interested in your views on CALM. I see the last question came in 2012 and the stock has tripled since.
Seems to be a very stable business (with a bit of a volatile stock)
Thanks!

Thanks

Q: Peter and Team:
My oil sector in a non registered account consists of BDI, PD, PPY, and SPE. (Down about 50% in all)I am willing to hang in for the long haul, but wonder about the ability of these companies to survive a sustained downturn. Could you please rank in order of "fiscal health".
Also what are your thoughts on moving out of this sector altogether to avoid "lost opportunities". Sector weighting is irrelevant in this higher risk frequently traded account.

Thank you as always.

Phil
