Q: Cineplex CGX

Hello 5i Family

With recent comments regarding theater goer's #'s being down 20% compared to last summer - NetFlix plus other cable shows - we've seen a 4% hit for CGX since closing last week.

stock has been fairly stagnant for most of the year and is down 9% overall since the beginning of the year.

I have a 4% position. Would you consider this high? Should I take some cash out and redeploy it elsewhere? If so, where? And would you consider CGX a Buy, Hold or Sell right now considering these recent announcements?

Thanks for all you do for all of us

Q: ITP - Intertape Polymer Group has just boosted its dividend by 50% based on a positive outlook and there has recently been some insider buying. Earnings are due out this August, and the last time that they boosted their dividend, their earnings surprised nicely on the upside. This company seems to be a real cash machine; Good, clean earnings with not a lot of accruals. The company has almost no analyst coverage, yet it is approaching a 1B market cap. This company is yearning for outstanding, conflict free analysis of the type that 5i can provide. Will 5i be covering this company in the near future? What did you think of the dividend boost, proposed share buyback, and stated positive outlook?

Thanks!

Q: Hi guys, Why should someone «who has done okay with CPG» sell and wait for something interesting.
From what I hear the dividend(6%) is safe and with a 3%-4% annual growth I think it is still a good investment.
It's not sure that something more interesting will surely come along. A bird in the hand......
Your thoughts.
Thanks

Q: Given the present market environment do you view preferred shares as a safe place to invest new money seeking a modest return...if so, could you make a few recommendations...Bonds seem doomed with the threat of rising interest rates and common shares too susceptible to a correction? Thanks.

Q: re: VXS

Have been sitting on this one for a time. Was reported on BNN to begin watching it move beginning of July with new technologies coming on line that only VXS can satisfy and sure enough it is up 25% since June 25 after technically 2 months of flat performance.

I am seriously considering adding a small position. Is there any comments you can provide that might help me out?

Thanks for all you do for all of us

Q: Many seniors who withdraw funds from RRIFs but don't require the funds for expenses are not aware that investments need not be sold and commissions paid to fund the withdrawal, as in Donald's recent question. John Heinzl addresses this in a recent article titled "the ABCs of mandatory RRIF withdrawals" available here: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/investor-education/rrif-minimum-withdrawals-separating-fact-from-fiction/article19380686/#dashboard/follows/
