Q: I'm interested in investing in Potash Corp. On Dec.10/15 you stated that it is priced for a dividend cut and in November stated that the company has stated that the dividend is safe down to potash prices of $200 per ton. With potash prices being fairly flat in the $300 per ton range since the latter part of 2013 are you foreseeing a dramatic fall in potash prices to the sub $200 range ? Trading at 10.5 times earnings with a close to 9% yield I find the company tempting. Your thoughts on the company in general ? What are the earnings estimates going forward ? And the safety of the dividend ?
Thanks for all you do.

Q: Hello Peter & 5i team,
A few small queries:
1) BNS is in the balanced portfolio and yet it is the worst performing of the big 6 (3.8% 5-yr compound total return vs 10.6% for TD and 10.4% for Royal)
2) You switched Stantec for WSP Global last year; why not own a half position in both (for a chicken like me)?
3) For an indirect exposure to the US residential housing, I'm debating between Interfor and Western Forest; which would you suggest? (or should I be a chicken here too and own both?)
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: What do you think about Kevin O'Learys ETF,s
OUSA .. which I believe in hedged against currency and is supposed to be a high dividend ETF with low volatility.
Wonder if you think it's a good and stable investment and also, as its dividend paying ETF, if it's good for Canadians ... given withholding tax and our devalued dollar?


Thanks
