Q: Happy Holidays! All the best to you and your families! I currently have a 1.5% weighting in Catamaran and would like to slowly bring it to a full position in my portfolio. Do you feel today's price is a good time to start adding? Also, do you have any suggestions for a cyber security stock in Canada or the US, something like PANW? I have long time frame and high tolerance for risk.
Q: Recent news of lawsuit closure. Stock reaction negative. Your opinion.
Thanks
Thanks
Q: Hey 5i team
It appears the market was more than happy with the appointment of Mr. Fishman as CEO. Understandable considering the success he had with Teva.
I saw your answer yesterday for Michael when you said "we think it is fine to own for a higher risk investor but there are some speculative risks that need to be taken here."
Also yesterday James Hodgins on Market Call said Mr. Fishman has plans to triple the size of MSL to 100MM plus, it was mentioned the street consensus expects a 65% upside for the stock over the next 12 months.
I am seriously considering a 2% position as I am looking for some good growth opportunities. What I am concerned about is your mentioning "risks" especially considering the stock was at $1.50 mid morning on Friday then $2.00 mid morning earlier today which could be the response to the new CEO. I am also concerned the comments made on Market Call could be to good to be true considering MC guests often come from a promotional standpoint.
Do you think the recent increase isdue to Mr. Fishman' appointment or are there other factors at work here as well? And what do you think about MSL 6 months and 1 year out?
Thanks for all you do and from my Family to Yours, Happy holidays

Q: 5i Team,
Happy Holidays. I ask this question every other quarter, whenever I am repositioning my portfolio and deploying new cash. Given what has gone on in the energy space, what would be your ideal target sector weightings for a portfolio going into 2015 using these 5i recommended sector classifications, assuming a blank slate:
Capital Goods / Industrials
Consumer Cyclical
Consumer Staples
Retail
Energy
Financials
Health Care
Information Technology
Internet / Software
Materials (Gold, Silver etc.)
Materials (Paper, Chemical, Steels, etc._
Real Estate
Telecommunication Services
Transportation
Utilities
TOTAL = 100%
Risk tolerance is 7.5 out of 10. Assume a market cap portfolio mix of approx. 15%-20% small cap, 35-40% mid cap, 45% large cap.
Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Q: I would appreciate your expert opinion on Pengrowth Energy. It was just recommended on BNN as a top pick with a $15.00 target price.
Q: Hi Peter & Ryan,
Based on your last answer about CF, would you recommend to increase position, eventhough it went down 45% since July 29th'14? Is it the right time or wait for the energy sector to settle down?
Merry Xmas,
Morris

Q: Hi
I would like to initiate a 3 or 4% position (depending on risk) in a company in the Info Tech sector that would complement my other holdings. I currently have CSU and ESL in Info Tech at 4% each. I also have a diversified portfolio of other Canadian equities (ie. Financial 12% (BNS, SLF, HCG) Cons Disc 12% (AYA, DOL, DHX.B) and so on)
My main focus is growth over the long term. Could you make a suggestion?
Thank you and happy holidays

Q: Peter, at the beginning of January I will be adding 150% to my portfolio comprised mostly of 5i stocks and a couple of US ETF's. I am in line waiting for a review of my portfolio and in the meantime where would you suggest I park the cash? A selection of ETF's probably makes the most sense. Thanks.
Q: Hi Team: growing a little frustrated with lack of growth. Considering switching to CF for higher appreciation potential as the CDN market recovers. Reasonable?

Q: Hello Peter and team, all the best of the seasdon to you and thanks for all of your sage responses this past year!!
Chorus has been out of the news lately after their successful bout with AC. They pay a nice dividend and have a fair chunk of change on the books I understand. Do you think a special dividend is on the horizon and what is your overall view of the company, especially with dropping fuel prices.
Thank you
Jerry

Q: 5-year 7%-coupon debentures from GuestLogix started trading yesterday (GXI.DB). Already they have fallen to nearly 90 cents on the dollar, giving a yield to maturity of roughly 9.5%. Do you think that the risk associated with the creditworthiness of GXI is adequately compensated at 9.5% (+ the chance of much higher gains if the stock moves up significantly in the next 5 years) ? Thanks!
Q: I know you have a note on Glentel but would you recommennd buying now or the risk is too high.
