Q: Hi 5i Team!

I'm looking for some information on Cipher Pharma. Specifically these metrics:

1. Net Margin %, 2. Return on assets %, 3. financial leverage, 4. Return on equity %, 5. P/E multiple.

Also if you can give me any other thoughts and information on the stock that you may see as relevant.

Thank you, Shane

Q: I follow and am invested in the Cdn Moneysaver ETF portfolio. I just read the February update in the magazine on this portfolio and wondered why you did not top up XEG back to the 10,000 level of the original investment and possibly sell some that had gone up like XIU and SPY. Wouldn't it be good to top up on XEG now that is down? Thanks for all your help.

Q: The sector still looks volatile, but with some recent gains on these target buys (RE,WCP,RMP and RRX)it's tempting to jump in. You've mentioned that there is still no true signs of recovery in the sector (Jan 28), what exactly should I be looking for as a true sign of recovery?

Q: Hi 5i
Down 50 to 75 % on these guys. They were less than 10% now around 6% of portfolio. I held on thinking they might recover more than any other place I could put the money. Your opinion please buy , sell, or hold.
I did just buy some Vermillion in the sector.
Tks Stan

Q: Hello Folks:
We have owned CSX for a number of years and satisfied with it's performance, however indications are their star is dimming somewhat. Would you consider a trade into Union Pacific (UNP) worthwhile, or should one just sit tight?
Thanks again for your wonderful service!

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on MDI. It has been just over six months since it did a major takeover. As a bit of a contrarian I am always leaning towards positions when others are heading the other way. Thanks in advance, Mike

Q: This question concerns my RRSP. I am in my mid seventies and my RRSP is laddered for the next 6 yr. Each year when one of the laddered bonds comes due it results in a lot more cash than I am required by law to take out. This has resulted in an ever increasingl cash balance. My accountant informs me if I take this cash out it will bump me into an even higher tax bracket. What would you advise? And if I leave the cash within the RRSP, can you suggest an investment for it.? I have no pressing immediate need for this money. Thank you.
