Q: Hi Peter and Team --

I read, with great interest, your response to Wendy regarding the ONEX Corporation --OCX. I searched through the archives to find that you've answered three questions on this corporation in the last 12 months and each time you spoke of it in the most glowing terms.

I am certainly intrigued by your enthusiasm in this company -- and the next step begs the question: Would you consider preparing a report on this company? As an addendum to that thought, for whom would this stock be appropriate in a portfolio? What sort of risk tolerance would this company require, given the nature of the cyclicality that you speak of.

Thanks so much!

I'm one month new in my membership here, and I'm telling you now ... I'm a lifer, from here on in! I'm recommending membership to anything that moves. My cat may be signing up next. Great work!

Q: ENT, would this co. benefit from build out of LNG infrastructure on west coast and any pipeline build and would you recommend as a buy as a tiny portion of a portfolio-would probably buy 10K shares.

Q: In regard to your notes on Just Energy on Nov. 27 I have been tied in to them for five years for gas at 36.9 cents a cubic meter. On renewal they highly promoted the savings that you would get at their new rate of about 25 cent a cubic meter

However they did not tell you that the rate from the gas company was 12.49 cents a cubic meter now and not far off for a lot of the time I was hooked into them.

Now I should be paying about 1/3 of what I was paying

Obviously I did not renew with them. If other people did their homework, there would be a lot more non renewals. This may affect their earnings

Q: Peter and Team: I have no materials stocks so I've been comparing the ETF's XMA.T and XLB.US. The latter has been going up since 2009 while XMA recovered from 08/09, peaked in 2010/2011 and tanked thereafter. I assume that is due to the heavy weighting of gold, silver and other mining stocks in XMA, which in XLB is replaced (in part) by various chemical production and chem engineering stocks. A recovery in XLA therefore depends very much on gold and other mining, while XLB is growing nicely. Thus I'm thinking XLB over XMA. I'd appreciate your opinion.

Q: Peter and Team
With so many others I thank you for your excellent service...I continue to act as your marketing-ambassador and encourage others to subscribe to 5i.
We all know that gold is out of favor ...we all know that sectors are cyclical...If one has the courage to buy when stocks are low and out of favor good rewards can result. Of course you still need to research your choice within the sector to ensure that your stock survives until prices improve. I know Goldcorp is your large cap choice ...however if you had to chose a junior which of these ...HARMONY, WESDOME, ALACER...do you think has the least risk and will be in the best position when the price of gold improves to profitable levels?
Thanks for your insights..
