Q: Hi 5i Team
Would you consider LW Leisureworld more likely than Chartwell to have growth over the next few years. How secure do you think the 7% dividend of LW is? Do you think this sector is desirable in a portfolio for RRSP with years to grow.Thanks
Kathy

Q: Good afternoon,

My question today is on WEQ and its relatively high dividend. Would you please provide an opinion on whether or not you think that this dividend is sustainable for the foreseeable future (1-2 yrs) and also comment on the payout ratio as an important indicator of whether or not the dividend is likely to be cut. Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i Team.

Do you foresee an impact on natural gas demand and price if the US commits to the proposed 30% reduction in greenhouse gases from coal by 2030? Andy Bell on BNN June 2, 2014 said 40% of US carbon emissions come from coal fired electricity.

What would be a best guess on the timeframe of an impact?

I suppose another possibility is that Utilities seeking price stability develop wind, solar, or hydro capacity instead of developing natural gas power plants; I.E. ongoing costs of renewables could be more predictable and stable than natural gas.

Thanks, David.

Q: Greetings: I would like to know how many shares are "owned" (not the right word, I realize) for each company in the new Model Portfolio. I see the ACB but not the number of shares.

I like to set up the model portfolio in Yahoo Finance and see how it performs compared to mine. I have learned quite a lot by doing this, sadly the main thing being that I should have duplicated the Model Portfolio from day one and left it alone. Period. Thank you very much for stellar service. No rush for this.

Q: I am thinking of selling a 2% weighting in PWF to purchase "First Quantum Minerals". It would increase my materials weighting to about 12%. I would still be overweight in financials (BNS, TD and SLF remaining).

My materials weighting is creeping up and secure dividend income reduced for possible capital gain.

Do you like First Quantum and does it seem to make sense to sell PWF to buy them? I was an old Inmet share holder who didn't want to tender to First Quantum. But it must be said they picked-up Inmet on the cheap so I guess we have to give them credit. Inmet had some great copper properties and the price of copper just seems to be getting stronger.

Your thoughts please.
