Q: Hi 5i team,
Please give some background in building your income portfolio with regard to
a) WSP....an interesting choice considering your favorite is STN
b) SGY selection over so many good oil companies
c) FLOT with 0.4% yield as oppose to GIC

SPB, VNR and ET are excellent surprises we do not read regularly

I will gradually adopt to your income portfolio. Great work as usual, thanks

Q: I know you believe a portfolio should not hold more than 20 names, at least i think you believe that.
But if your managing 2 or 3 million dollars in one portfolio, do you still only hold 20 names. In other words my question is no matter the size of the portfolio do you always hold only 20 names.dave

Q: Hi 5i team:

Sterigenics has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase Nordion (NDN) for $11.75US/share, with Nordion's Board of Directors approval, a termination fee of $12 Million (US) and a reverse break fee of US$24 million, what are the possible situations would prevent this transaction from proceeding? From previous 5i answers from other stock buyout, my plan is to sell ½ of my shares to the market and the remaining ½ of my shares to tender versus 1/3 to market, 1/3 for higher offer and 1/3 tender since another buyout offer is unlikely to occur. What do you think of this plan?

Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter & Co.
I came across yesterday with 2 names that aroused my interest.
One of them is Knight Therapeutics (GUD-V); same team as Paladin Labs and our Pharma sector in Canada is very limited.
The other is Kelso Technologies (KLS-V) which produces among other things pressure release valves; a very topical subject related to railcar safety.
Could you please comment on them?
Thanks,
Tony

Q: I have seen the discussion on Molycorp mcp, which goes back to Jan 2013 and did not encourage purchasing. How is it now, but, more generally, is there anything in rare earths that should be considered?

Q: Good evening 5i! I am considering selling my WCP shares and converting to NPI shares. I've held WCP for a couple of years and it seems to be doing very little in growth, (I also hold PEY, CPG and BTE in the energy sector). My broker has suggested I look at NPI for a good yield and decent long term growth, (I also hold CPX in the power sector). Can you provide me with your unbiased recommendation on this potential company switch looking at it over the next couple of years.

Thanks for your help and input.
Brian
