Q: Hi Peter I know you do not follow US stocks too closely but would you mind giving me an opinion on Alcoa, I am up over 30% but the stock is well of its high of $17 US (presently just over $13) Is it best to cash out and move on or wait. I would have thought that the switch to alloys by Ford should have strengthen the sales but that has not been the case? Thanks for your great service

Q: Hello Team
TD Waterhouse states that the dividend Payout ratio of WIN is 201%. Does that mean that they are paying out 201% more than the cash they are taking in? Other than that all their fundamental numbers seem to have (+) signs. What does the 5I team make of their numbers.

Thank You
Clarence

Q: Hi Mr. Hodson. Thanks for the question opportunity.
My question is re: today's Globe&Mail article titled 'Why banks should be feeling very, very afraid'. He recommends shorting the banks because they would be dinosaured by Apple pay, Google pay, paypal etc. technology, Just like entertainment, publishing, travel-agency industries.
I am worried. I have 20% of portfolio in Canadian banks for dividends for pension.
Should I trim the banks? Thank you so much. sarah

Q: Hi 5i team,

In the medium to long term, I believe you would agree that US economy is heading for a much better growth compare to Canada (unfortunately). In which case, wouldn't you advise increasing US exposure for Canadians to 50%, if not much higher? The current exposure recommended by 5i is around 20% as I understand. Can you please shine some light on this, are there implied risks that we are not aware of?

Thanks as always,
Jerry
