Q: CKI Clark Inc. Have you changed your opinion since last March? 5% div and cheap. Seems like the payout is reasonable but the debt seems high.
I like companies where the Officers take a stake.
Thank you.

Q: Further to the earlier question today on DHX Media, I'm curious why it ran up so much on the news. Seems counter intuitive to me. Thanks.
Q: I would value your opinion on Torex Gold (TXG on the TSX). Given the present climate of gold, I do realize this will be a speculative position, but would nonetheless appreciate knowing if the fundamentals of this company will carry it through to recovery in the gold sector. How would this compare to Mandalay Resources (MND on the TSX), fundamentally speaking? In terms of geo-political risk, is Mexico a better/worse environment than Chile, in which to invest?
I am interested in deploying some speculative cash into this sector and am trying to choose between Mandalay and Torex. Any preferences? Or both?
Thank you, as ever, for this wonderful service!

Q: Hi 5i team,
CSCO, your opinion on Cisco? Taking a bit of beating lately.
I'm down about 9% to date, and don't mind holding for the long term.
Thanks.

Q: HI 5i,
Now that tapering appears imminent, how badly do you think dividend stocks in my portfolio, like Telus, IPL, Suncor and PBH will be affected?
I sent you this question a couple days ago but haven't heard from you. (Perhaps i sent it to the wrong address?)
Thanks G

Q: TA.pr.D
I read your recent comment on TA common shares, but does the same opinion apply to their reset prefs, this one trading at a very attractive price and yield. More broadly, so many rate reset prefs are off, in particular the past 2 weeks. While part of an income portfolio (the lower current costs seemingly protecting against rate increases), are they possibly still a bit of a value trap, even at these reduced prices? Thank-you as always...

Q: I am looking for a lower risk income product for short term holding. Hoping for more than 1%. I came across BBO.PR.A which is a closed end Blackrock split corp pref share product holding Big Bank and Oil. Seems to stay just above it's NAV of $10 except back in 2008. Seems like a pretty safe 5% yield holding. Volume is low though. I can't really get a handle on the split corp structure and risks etc. Any guidance or comments would be appreciated. Anything that would be better? I am also considering BMO Covered Call products. Thanks!

Q: A rare startup success story: Shopify hits $1-billion milestone
"For Mr. Lütke, having a Canadian investor lead the latest fundraising was key; he had sought domestic money in previous fundraising efforts but was disappointed by an unwilling and risk-averse venture community that was still shell-shocked by the dot-com bust.
Silicon Valley funds were eager to invest early on but only on condition he move the company to the Bay area, something he resisted before teaming up with Bessemer, which imposed no such constraints. “I had an almost unreasonable desire to make this succeed in Canada,” said Mr. Lütke, who is married to a Canadian, has two children, and is a citizen of his adopted country. “Now I have a bit more of a mission: I want to show how much of a company I can build here.”
May be money managers, brokers and financial educators will use this remarkable story to stop considering that selling out is the ultimate game of success for any company in Canada. I am also an immigrant and a very proud Canadian, wishing out loud that we all together build more and grow more this dear Country of ours rather than using it for a short term gain. Congratulations, Shopify!

Q: Hi Peter and Team
I really liked your recent suggestion about 2 large caps and a junior in the gold sector...realizing of course that the whole sector is totally out of favor. What is your assessment of the merits between MND and ASR? What would be your preference ...which one is best to survive until gold shines again or at least returns between 1350-1400?
I thank you in advance for your time and effort!
