Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I would like some exposure to the expected long term growth trend in agriculture. I have small positions in POT and AGU. I intend to add to both. Do you think that is prudent at these levels? AFN seems to be a specialized business, I would like to get "A" level exposure to the machinery and real estate portion of the trend. I am not finding many options in the Canadian market. Please point me in the right direction.
Your service is fantastic, and worth every penny.

Q: Hello Peter and team
In your new Growth Portfolio, your weighting appears to me to be 25% Technology, only 5% Energy and 15% Basic Materials. I am weighted 11.5% Technology with CSU,ESL, MDA, and SYZ. 16% energy with VET, PEY,and BDI. VET and BAD are over just over 8% because of gains and split. My Basic Materials weight is 9% with G and RUS. Should I be reducing Energy to increase Basic Materials and Technology? My other weightings seem in line.
Would appreciate your comments. Regards Kathy

Q: I followed Danielle Park's blog " Juggling Dynamite " for the last 5 years. On April 17 she posted: " so Q 1 earnings and revenue numbers are ugly with 1/3 of S&P companies missing earnings targets and 51% have so far missed their sales forecasts."
Are you familiar with Danielle? For the past 2 years I have been 50% in cash in my investment account waiting for the big correction that she professes must come to end the cyclical bear market. I regret missing the gains of the past 2 years, but at the same time I am fearful of the pending correction < if I only knew when >. What does one do in this situation? Please comment, thank you.

Q: Hello Team
After spending quite some time looking at all the different fundamentals of these 3 telecom companies maybe you can shed some light on which one you feel I would do best in. Telus,Chunghwa CHT, or Nippon NTT.Being a contrarian at heart I always lean toward the deepest value which I feel would be Nippon telecom,However there ttm ROA is much lower than the other 2 However forward P/E, Price/sales,and P/CF values are much lower.The other metric which I find interesting is the Net income growth AVG over the last 3 years which Telus has performed much better over.
Thanks Gord

Q: Hello 5i Team, any further comments on BRP as an investment? This winter I found myself riding a SkiDoo and this spring in the dealership ordering a 2015 Skidoo only to have the dealer tell me they have been overwhelmed with orders for 2015 product. I realize that they play in a higher risk enviroment but as far as powersports go they have the bases covered. I also find that people are very loyal to their brand of choice when it comes to powersports.
Any thoughts, comments would be appreciated.

Q: Hi Peter and 5I Team;
Would you please share an opinion on Western Zagros (WZR), considering the latest results release? There seems to be good prospects for the future, but how long into the future? Would it be better to wait until there is production before investing? Do you also have an opinion on the huge amount of outstanding shares?
Thank You

Q: I recently read this in a publication "The percentage of people over 65 continues to increase each year. According to a University of Ottawa report, by 2021 - just seven years from now - there will be 6.9 million Canadians age 65 or older. They will represent 17.8% of the total population." Where can we invest our money to capitalize on this demographic trend? Thank-you.
