Q: Hi Peter and team,
I am enjoying your service very much and learning a lot. My portfolio is lacking in the Manufacturing sector - could you please advise on a good buy that also offers a nice dividend. Thank you.
Q: Peter & 5i Team : Any recommendations for a good portfolio management system (free or not) ? I find that I am spending a lot of time trying to sort out sector weightings, dividends, etc. for multiple portfolios (x 2 people). I would love to find something more useful and comprehensive than what is currently available through my discount broker.

Q: Hi 5i team and fellow members. With respect to Holly's question on shorting the US dollar...FXC is likely the cleanest way and my preferred method. It also has options available if you can not sell short the ETF in your account. There are occasional liquidity issues and wide bid/ask spreads, however. There is also a US dollar currency option on the Montreal exchange (http://www.m-x.ca/nego_cotes_en.php?symbol=USX*). This is tradable in my RRSP through TD Waterhouse so should be available through other brokerages.
Q: STN is still rated A in the model portfolio despite its rise in price. What are the ratings based on? I ask because STN is probably not as good a buy as it was a few months ago. Tx in advance.
Q: You mentioned that Macro Enterprises (MCR) "seems well managed". Are you able to provide a further view on the quality of management, and have you met with any of the principals. In the end they will be key to the success (or otherwise) of the company.
Many thanks. Great service.
Q: hello 5i:
SGC has been very volatile the last few days, and I'm not sure why. Can you comment on the reason for volatility (if known) and on the companys remarks in the last update.
thanks
I know you've commented on DHX quite a bit recently, but my question pertains more to whether you would be a buyer at today's price? Valuation suggest it remains a tad expensive, but the company is expectected to keep growing aggressively. My question is - would you be a buyer of DHX at current levels? Do you view DHX as a takeout canadidate? Would you prefer Sylogist to DHX as a small cap tech play?
Q: About aston hill,ahf
I am surprised that this stock has not been doing much.compared to stocks that compare like glusken.

I have held WIN for for a long time and no matter how many deals they seem to sign the litigation costs seem to eat into any revenue gains. Is it time to move on to other opportunities?
Everyone seems to love Element Financial (EFN). I was wondering if the reset (5 year bond + 4.71%) preferred share (EFN.PR.A) with a 6.6% dividend due in 2018 would make a good investment for the fixed income portion of my portfolio?
From 1 to 10 (10 very safe), how safe is my capital?
Q: A big thank you Peter, to you and your team, for excellent advice since I purchased my membership last year. I have just renewed and look forward to continuing valuable advice going forward. Could I please have your current, updated opinion on Mullen Group - MTL? Many thanks!
