Q: Hi Peter and the team,
I acquired stn in middle of 2013 which did well in that year, then it stayed flat in 2014. Recently, it goes in opposite way from TSX like today for example. Anything wrong with this name? Should I sell it and move on to other name? Do their projects involve with energy related business? Their debt level is about 22.5% to their capital (based on data posted by TD water house), which is low comparing with their peers such as SNC. What is your view of this company this year?

Q: Good morning Peter and the 5i Team,
Just a suggestion to Peter who recently asked a question about parking some cash for 6 months plus. He quoted an interest rate of 1.25% for "a high interest (LOL) investment account". Oaken Financial (a division of Home Capital (HCG) which is in 5i's Model Portfolio is offering 1.75% on their savings account. I have found dealing with Oaken to be very pleasant and they are certainly efficient.

Is there any fundamental reasons to support the technical trend ?

Q: I am thinking about buying an ETF on the American banks , should I buy hedged or not?
Q: I think my question is a first. I would like to know the names (ticker symbols will suffice) of those gold and silver companies that provide a royalty stream. I thought I might find the answer in the "View by Category" section. I was astounded by how many questions you answer on the gold/silver sector. I'm thinking SSO, Silver Standard; and OR,Osisko would be good picks What would your top 2 choices be? I prefer growth as important as the dividend.
Q: My question is general in nature though uses phm as an example. PHM recently announced two LOI. The purchase price will be cash and PHM shares (in one case some 7 million shares). My question is, when a company purchases another in this way, where do the shares come from? Also, would this type of purchase tend to put a lid on price appreciation as the purchase shares hit the market? Thanks as always and best for the new year.
Q: If you were to pick only one, which one for a 2 year time frame?

I currently have no healthcare exposure. I would to allocate 10% of my portfolio to healthcare. My question is would you put together your own mini etf of Canadian companies or purchase an etf like IBB? I was leaning towards my own. What companies would you suggest to construct my own. A mix of large and small companies would be great.
Thanks for the help,

Q: Seems like India has done very well and the preamble I hear seems to suggest that the same will happen going forward. I understand Prem Watsa is opening an India Fund, and there are the excel funds. Should I consider either of these or perhaps a couple of blue chips india stocks. What are your thoughts. I also would have the same question about investing in Vietnam, Thailand & Indonesia. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Q: In a recent response on a question about Surge, you mention a bought deal but I can't find any reference to it. Can you let me know the details. Thanks.
Q: Hi Peter and Team,
Using COS as a proxy for the oil price because its production is unhedged, Im uncertain if this asset is mis-priced relative to its peers and unto itself. For example, the last time COS was $8/sh was in '04 and oil averaged that year @$35/br U.S in inflation adjusted terms. If most often the market is efficient and correct, what do you think is really going on with this security? Something here is amiss. Thanks very much for your support.

Do you think I should drop any of these and if so which one(s).
And if so, should I replace with Goldcorp or Silver Wheaton or Quantum or any other that you may suggest.
