Mr. Hodson, what do you make of the above article ? To my knowledge, the CEO has done nothing wrong and is acting in full cooperation with AMF, and with the support of its BOD. It would be unfortunate if this affected the impending coming on NASDAQ.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I have had this fund for about a year now in a non-registered account. I bought it for world wide exposure and at present my exposure to this fund and world wide exposure is small. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on the fund and if it would be prudent for me, retired, to increase my exposure here? I like the monthly dividend.

I am slowly working toward more balance in my portfolio but am satisfied with my progress in that area. I review my allocations quarterly and ponder making allocation changes, but do not necessarily make any.

Thanks

Q: Is che.un considered 'materials' or 'industrials'? I'm thinking of selling it to buy some HLF? Does HLF have better growth potential? It's for a registered account, so growth is key.

Thanks in advance!

Q: Dear Peter and team:
Thanks for your update and report on H&R REIT. If I want to construct a safe, predictable income oriented portfolio based on just REITs and Utilities, what are the companies you will suggest? Say between 5 to 10 stocks? I am acutely aware of the interest rate risk, vacancy rate risk and potential recession risk. I ask this question b/c both Mr. David Stanley and Mr. Ross Grant avoid REITs and all the previous Income Trusts in their BTSX portfolio construction. BTSX is my all time favourite portfolio.
We are seniors and hence safety and income are important.
Great work by you and your team here and at CMS. Always enjoy your comments, answers and editorials.
Mano.

Q: Good Morning Team,

Would you please provide a recommendation for a European ETF that could be purchased in Canadian dollars? The funds would not be accessed for at least six years. The ETF would form a 15% position within an RESP.
Thanks,
Richard

Q: I just started to buy walmart via a drip I have over 33% in U.S. stocks. I am low with consumer cyclical (only have AYA). That's why Wmt interested me. Should I refocus purchases on Cdn consumer cyclical since I've got enough U.S. stocks? If so which stock would you recommend? Hopefully one with a share purchase plan that allows me to buy over time.

Q: Could I get your opinion on these types of products? The idea is to prepare for the next correction or bear market, or is it better to just buy GICs? These ETF products seem very complicated and returns have not been that great.

Q: Hello Team
As you know the FDA has granted Fast Track designation to Intellipharmaceuticals abuse deterrent Oxycodone ( Rexistra ). In a nutshell what are the next steps the company would take to get their product to market such as licensing, selling rights, getting production set up etc? How does it all work? Does Intellipharmaceuticals have the financial might to accomplish the task or will they need help? What is a typical time frame between approval and marketing for a product such as this. Considering the issues around the abuse of Oxycondin I expect that Intellipharmaceutis have a good product and opportunity.
Have a Good weekend
Thanks for your help

Q: Please provide you expert opinion on this stock. I noticed a sizable stock buyback was just announced.

Q: I know over the long term that you feel this company will do well. It continues to push upward and I am not sure if it has pushed up to much to quickly.

Is now an okay time, or should I wait for a pull back?

Any good strategies on buying low volume stocks, or just ensure I set some limits?

As always thanks for great guidance.
