Q: Fairly large investment in this Junior. Did you receive a written reply to your question regarding the transfer of the Principal's shares in PHM to their own self controlled Mutual Fund & what is your professional opinion regarding this tactic? ?

Q: Hi 5i advisory team. I already have WCP and am thinking of adding to the sector as it is pretty beaten up. Which one would you add between CPG and ARX? Taking into consideration the location of the resources (Alberta or elsewhere), relative weight beween gas and oil and, finally management style? Balance sheet? Thanks Henry

Q: Appreciate your commentary on this company as a long term investment.

Q: In the Globe on Fri., July 17 a writer was commenting on the Orange Balanced Growth Fund & seemed to like its low mer of 1.07%,its diversification with 25% of the fund in Cdn. stocks, 25% in Cdn. bonds, 25% in Us stocks & 25% in international stocks. Is this good for a young person with a 25+ year horizon or would it be better for an older couple with a TFSA. Both the young person & the older couple know very little about the investment world.Thanks as always.

Q: Comments please on their latest financial report. Thanks!

Q: This question dates some years back but it still bothers me: why did not a single money manager, commentator, etc. ever express any reservations about Manulife before the stock crashed big time? They all said it was marvellous, solid, excellent management, etc. Did noone really have any idea of its problems? It's left me mistrustful ever since.

Thanks,
Astrid

Q: I realize that there is much to like about CXI, but wonder if its post-banking-license-value is already reflected in the share price; as such, what's to prevent a sell-on-news decline? Put another way: for the price to go up, there needs to be a meaningful number of potential investors who haven't bought-in, yet, because they don't think the license is going to happen (or happen any time soon.) But there seems to be a consensus that it will, so where's the driver for price appreciation?
