Q: Re SGY - I've heard it said Surge is similar to an early stage Crescent Point story as they are intending to acquire and build out substantial resources. Do you agree with this and if so, do you have any timeline guesstimates that might indicate how long would be an appropriate hold period, in order to let them work their plan and potentially see much higher share price? Thanks

Q: Hi
I own BA and I heard on BNN that they are being bought out by BCE at $31.00. I've never experienced a takeover, but do my shares automatically sell out at $31.00 or do they provide an opportunity to secure shares in BCE?
Your help is appreciated.

Q: Peter
I have $55,000 in Bell Alliant(BA), $80,000 in B.C.E. and $30,000 in Telus which is approximately 8.5% of the equity portion of my portfolio . I will incur approximately a $10,000 capital gain if I sell Bell Alliant as opposed to exchanging shares for B.C.E. as per recent proposal. Alternatively, if I sold Bell Alliant, I could put the funds into Telus to provide more balance. What are your thoughts on this? Is 8.5% too high a concentration in telecommunications, given our present government's continuous threat to shakeup or shakedown the industry?

Q: re: WOW!!!! & DASTY - Dassault Systeme A
Been watching the digital printer industry as I think eventually everyone will have one of these things.
Today... DASTY down almost 50% from $125.54 - $63.43. Do you know what's going on here?
Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi
Please give your comments on TLF.un.
What do you think of it as an investment for income and growth in a taxable account. Are you still unhappy with the fees?
Are the fees subtracted before the yield is shown? (6.4percent in globe and mail today) Thanks!

Q: Good Afternoon Peter and Team,
Just read a blog on Mawer Investment Management's site which discusses "10 Ways That Investors Can Avoid Being Duped". Link is below:
http://www.mawer.com/knowledge-centre/mawer-blog/fraudster-alert-10-ways-investors-can-avoid-being-duped/
I suppose one of the best ways to help avoid being duped is to keep your 5i Membership up to date and pay very close attention to what Peter and/or Ryan have to say about a particular company before you purchase.
Just thought I would share this with other members. Thanks, DL

Q: Good day 5i Team,
Within context of an RESP where the value does not yet facilitate self direction, could you advise of a decent etf that is most closely aligned with the recommended holdings of the model portfolio. We are looking at a 15 yr horizon, and would like moderate risk within the tax sheltered account.
Thanks,
Eric

Q: Hello 5i team,
In early May, I sold all my VRX shares to buy a ½ position in each of CXR and GUD with the view to maintain the ½ position in GUD but to add another ½ in CXR.
CXR has flown up by 26% since then and that is making me hesitate to buy the other ½; my other holdings in the health care sector are a full position in 2 ETFs namely XHC and ZUH; I still have some spare cash so what would you suggest?
Thanks
Tony

Q: ACC Amica Mature Lifestyles The last time a Q was asked about ACC it had just bounced off a 4 year low. You liked it for income. Here it is hitting a new low. At some point there has to be a capital gain opportunity along side a juicy yield. Are we there yet?
TIA
