Q: Hi,
I have recently thrown in the towel on Goldcorp, and need to replace for gold exposure. I read this morning you have done the same and replaced with AEM. Can you offer some guidance as to why you selected AEM please. Dejardins recently downgraded to a hold with a target lower than yesterday's close, not that I put a lot of stalk in these reviews. Would you get into AEM here? Thanks!

Q: CIT Group is selling at a low P/E and a significant discount to tangible book value. Is this a high risk stock in your opinion?
Q: I have about 10% of my RRSP portfolio currently in cash earning 0.75%. I plan to invest it in a fixed income vehicle sometime in 2016. I noticed today that Rona is trading at $23.40 about 3% less than the takeover price. Would investing some of this money in Rona at its current price be a smart alternative to a fixed income vehicle?
Q: Capitulating :( (me) .... so expect the market to turn up very soon!
Nonetheless, I am now firmly in the "income camp" and have reviewed the 5i Income portfolio where I already hold all but ADW and IGM of your stocks but none of the ETFS (VCH, XHY, CVD,CPD, ZRE). With the exception of VCH they have all taken it on the chin in the last year - like so much else.
I am building a "sleep at night portfolio" and have set aside an appropriate cash reserve portion. The rest will stay in the market. With "sleep" well and make a few bucks top of mind, would you recommend any of the 4 ETF's or something else like ZWB, ZDV? Thanks for help with this project.

Q: The outlook for Sony (SNE) appears to be improving. Would you consider buying it at the present price?
Q: Just glanced through the first quarter numbers. The dividend increase was nice, but the way I read the numbers, if you "x" out the currency, sales were only up 1% from last year. Ok, I guess, but not stellar. Please tell me if I am reading the numbers incorrectly. If I'm not, then to the numbers simply reveal a slow growth company taking advantage of the currency (which may or may not be reflected in future quarters).
Thanks as always.
Thanks as always.

Q: Hello,
Just wanted to get your opinion on starting a position in TFI at current prices with holding period 5+ years. No doubt a slowing economy doesn't help but lower fuel prices may mitigate that. Also, they have bought back over 2 million shares, have recently sold there waste business which lowers their debt load, growing and well covered dividend. Any insights appreciated and thank you in advance.
Cheers!

Q: This comp. has blown away the last 4Q incl. the most recent one: low P.E., very high ROE, nice dividend - it is so cheap based on any metric you want to use: P.E. vs growth, P.E. vs ROE - is this all to do with sentiment - ie. the comment H.C made and the fiasco with VRE & CXR?? What gives as this looks like a long-term buy and hold to me.
Q: Hello again, can you please comment on the impact this may have on AYA shares. Is it possible that the liquidation of this funds stock position could have been the reason there was so much downward pressure as of late? TIA

Q: I currently own 1250 shares of AYA. I'm down approx 30% from my purchase price.
I feel with what is going on with AYA and all of the recent announcements there is an upside bias to the stock.
If I'm correct and the bias is positive I would like to employ an option strategy on this to try and make some money back on my paper loss.
What option strategy would you employ in this type of situation without perhaps selling a call and cutting off your upside potential?
Thanks
Sheldon

given the current condition of C$ and TSE it is inevitable that many, many more prime cdn companies are on the block
what sectors/industries do you feel would be the most susceptible to a us takeover?
rona was a failed takeover in 2012; are there others that come to mind?

Q: Hello.
Thanks for great answers....
With regard to Rona Take-over today, I have cut the Rights section from the Preffered.A Prospectus and added here.
Not often in this position, should a holder of ron.pr.a expect to see $25.00 as indicated in the prospectus? Certainly that is what I expect in reviewing the prospectus.
Thanks

Q: If I own CXI in my non-reg account and TFSA account (both are at a loss) and I sell it in my non-reg to take advantage of a tax loss, does the fact that I still own it in my TFSA make it a superficial loss? I will not be buying it back in the non-reg.
