Q: Do you view that lumber stocks present an attractive opportunity currently and if so what would be your preferred companies to consider?

Q: Good Morning Team. Great news about Amaya. I have done very very well in the past (thanks to your guidance) with shaving my AYA holdings (first bought at $6.50) and able to buy another good stock and pay off some bills. I only hold 2.5% at the moment. I have some cash in my TFSA for an opportunity. Could this be it? Or would you suggest slower is better in this case with AYA? Thanks again for all you guys do for us including calming our nerves!!!

Q: Hi folks: I am thinking about buying some silver coins from the Canadian mint. Problem is, I can not see how a 50 dollar silver coin for example will appreciate in value if silver goes up as it still has only a 50 dollar value as a currency.
Would silver bars be better since they sell by the ounce and would be worth more if the price per ounce goes up.

Q: I am a relatively new member of your service and find it both informative and useful. I read all of the questions and many of the answers daily. Within the answers I find many gems of general information which I call "Peter's Pearls" (of Wisdom). I transcribe them to notes (dated) and categorize them for future reference. I do this because I would have a hard time later finding the specific question which prompted the answer.

5i Research may have started as a stock advisory service. It seems that many members are now looking to you as a portfolio advisory service and /or a tax advisory service.

Most of us have 3 types of accounts, namely TFSAs, RRSPs/RRIFs and Taxable accounts, and with couples, that may be 6 accounts. It has become increasingly apparent to me that, for tax purposes, having the right stocks in the right account of the right person makes a huge difference.

Please consider posting more articles on such topics as
- portfolio construction (sector allocations and recommended number of stocks for various portfolio sizes
- recommended maximum percentage for a single stock (i.e what is a "full position") at various portfolio sizes
- model portfolios for each of the 3 account types.

Keep up the great work.

Q: Yesterday,shortly before the market close,a reporter on BNN when commenting on Concordia's share issue stated "clearly this issue will have to be repriced" or words very close to this quote.My question is:Do you consider the above quote to be appropriate considering the attack to which this stock has been subjected?I can understand an analyst or a money manager making such a statement but for a BNN reporter it seems to me to be irresponsible.The statement seemed to have no effect on the stock price but not long after CXR reported that the issue was completed and the money was"in the bank".Publish at your discretion.I thank you for your continued guidance and advice. Don.

Q: Good morning

Can you please give me your updated thoughts on NDQ as an investment.
It seems to have been unfairly caught up in biotechnology paranoia.

Thanks once again for the tremendous service!

Q: Hi Peter and Team!! Between seeking alpha, some financial papers and Jim Cramer, there is a lot of noise out there. For a small retail investor, things can get a little confusing and panic generating at times. I subscribe to 5i and the Investment reporter...my two beacons in the fog... could you suggest any other reliable information sources that give a level headed view of the markets both here and in the world overall? Kind Regards, Tamara
