Q: I understand that Canadian rules are more lax than those in the US and that is one reason why they are shorting Canadian stocks. Also, that the hedge funds have underperformed in the last number of years,so this is another way for them to boost their bottom line.

Q: Hello Peter & 5i Team

Are there any hedges in place that will help support Surge and if not how do you feel the company is doing currently? Will they manage to keep the dividend at current levels or would it be at risk if oil prices remain at these levels?

Thanks for your valued opinion, as always.

Q: Hi Peter
I want to get into the technology stocks. ZQQ and IGM (US) have similar holdings but a huge difference in cost to get in. Do you think these ETF's have similar potential? Many thanks for finding IGM.

Q: Peter and Team:
What are your thoughts on this company? You did comment back when it was "Tweed", but that was a while ago, and prior to a Liberal Majority win. Is it purely a speculative play, or is there some substance behind the smoke?
Also are there other companies in this sector that may stand to benefit from the potential legalisation of marijuana.
Thanks

Q: Good morning,

I have been reading many more articles recently regarding the macro trend toward organic and non anti-biotic raised food. Major food chains such as A&W (thanks very much for the investing idea!) and now McDonalds (large restaurant chain in the world) offering meals with non anti-biotically raised animals.

Can you please provide your perspective on this as well as the best way for an individual investor to participate in this macro trend. Please provide best equity or other opportunities in this space either in Canada or in US.

Thanks as always for the independent perspective you provide!

Q: Hi, I am considering BXF (combined with CBO, VSC, XHY and VSB) for my fixed income exposure. They will be roughly equal percentages totalling 30% of my portfolio. Can I have your advice about this? Would the take over of First asset by CI affect the underlying etfs? Are there any fixed income vehicles for taxable accounts (I was considering CPD)?

Q: For those who are considering buying Valeant, I recommend watching what a Rotman School of Business finance professor had to say about it today, on BNN. I attribute little weight to many guests that come on BNN, because of conflicts of interest, but Ramy is a professor who I have met and trust. His financial analysis methods are certainly modern and respected. What he said about EBITDA was also interesting/worrying considering how many BNN guests use it to back their ideas. dishttp://www.bnn.ca/Video/player.aspx?vid=736200

Q: Hi 5i - a general portfolio management question:

Assume that I start with 20 stocks at 5% each. I have CPG, DH, CXI and AYA that are all down from the ACB. Say that those stocks mentioned are now varying from 2-3.5% FMV - assuming that I still like those companies (and the overall weighting in the sector makes sense), should I be putting new money in those stocks to bring the FMV back up to 5%? I am averaging down, but also re-balancing the portfolio - any suggestions?

Q: Are there any other roll-up companies that you see as potentially being at risk of a short attack? None of the tech consolidators have been hit - could they be next? I bought a fair bit of puts on OTC and GIB.A today just in case.
