Q: Are you a fan of the frequently expressed strategy of having your per cent of fixed income match your age? I suspect this is a personal decision based on one's risk tolerance, but as a general rule does it make sense? For myself, 50+ in fixed income seems like a lot.

Q: Greetings! Today, this stock declined by 23.08%, closing at $2.70 USD. I don't see any news. Do know of any reason for the decline? What is your opinion about this company as a growth stock? Thank you.
Q: I bought PHM in April at $1.60. It has since plummeted to $ .60. I understand that averaging down is frequently like catching "falling knife" but with PHM now having recovered to $.80 I am considering "averaging down" and buying another 1000 shares. What is your opinion. Thanks
Q: Hi 5i team,
I know you recommend keeping sector allocations during all ups and downs and my energy is just 2.8%, PEY at 1.3% and WCP at 1.5%. I am considering adding SGY (or something else)at 2.2% now to top up to 5%. Any comments are welcome.
Thank you for your unending expertise.

Q: Peter et al.
Any thoughts on this one. It is the rebranded Bioniche. They recently got an FDA notification that their bladder cancer drug (Urocidin) will get FDA fast-track review. They seem well cashed up, but do have a lot of shares outstanding (280 million). Thanks.

Q: What is your viewpoint on CRH Medical? Bought a half position this week at $4.80. I am looking at a 3 to 4 year hold on this one. I missed out on Concordia Healthcare as I would have liked to have bought it at $60 and it took off before I could. Could this be the next Concordia?

Q: What is you opinion on the latest rise in Oil stocks (Ithaca and Surge) and more specifically the latest bounce in the oil price? Is there anything fundamentally behind it or is it just a dead-cat bounce and it will turn much lower in the fall with the inventory build ups due to the refinery maintenance season being soon upon us? I can't find anything fundamentally to explain the sudden rise. Many analysts are predicting anywhere from $30 to $85 a barrel by Christmas? What is your viewpoint on where you think the oil price will be by the end of 2015 and more importantly for me the end of 2016?
Thanks,
Brendan

Q: Dear Agent. I am thinking of purchasing shares of BLX. Would that be a good in my Portfolio. Eddie.
Q: Hi peter - I recently sold BYD.UN - LNR (did very well) - I want to buy a Canadian company and then have my broker switch to a US account. I believe that @10% I am underweight in the US. The Canadian dollar is still falling /not showing any sign of - The struggle I am having is I really still like the auto sector. LNR has really dropped from its $89 Cad high. Do you believe that (a) the Cad $ is headed lower. (b) MG has still got room to grow compared to LNR. (c) I am better off buying AGU and get out of the Auto sector? Any other suggestion would be welcome I am a moderate investor who likes stability/growth ...Thanks for your advise
Q: Hi 5i team. Thanks for the great service. BAM recently invested in infrastructure in India. Does that in any way affect Brookfield Infrastructure? It seems, to me that sometimes the assets are passed on or are sold to the subsidiary. Can you comment please if this might have long-term impact on Brookfield infrastructure?. I have been focusing on building positions in Brookfield Infrastructure and Brookfield Energy Partners
