Q: Cal asked about a graph/chart for all the stocks on the TSX with the 200 day MA. I know stockcharts.com quite well and a search came up with nothing. I am not certain just what information such a chart would provide (except for curiosity) that couldn't be gleaned from $TSX with a 200 day MA as it would very closely mimic the total market.

Q: Hello 5i. I hold an equal number of shares of G and OSK. I seem to be in a position of gaining on the swings and losing on the round-abouts. How would you play this? Sell G because, as you suggest, they may have to raise their offer, and their decline will thereby be hastened while OSK can only gain? As always, I look forward to your reply.

Q: Churchill corp, had a rough couple of years, can't see how dividend is sustainable, interest coverage is terrible, but revenues and profits may have bottomed and are turning positive. Based on valuation is this a good time to pick it up? What are your thoughts?

Q: With respect to the Obama care fiasco, it would seem CGI (GIB.A) was not provided with reasonable time to implement and try the system. Of course, CGI could hardly come forward and contradict the US and its president on the matter. This makes for a rather uneasy context, and the reflection on the company's abilities may not be fair. And the alternative to CGI (ACCENTURE) is not exactly impeccable. The dust has not settled yet.

Q: re......deflation. I feel it is a possibility we may see real deflation where I live subject to the US dollar question of course. I am not worried about it from a local point of view but from a Canadian Macro economic point of view if it got going it could be worrisome. I believe we would have lots of notice with time to have some form of plan ready to go so to not have one is just plain crazy. But I can only find blank faces when I ask for opinions. Since I am convinced I must stay invested, I is moving to consumer staples a reasonable move? What moves might the bank of Canada do? Who is a deflation guru with an answer?
Is there a place to hide?
Thanks very much

Q: Hi, recently on BNN a graph was shown that plotted the collective grouping of all the 200 day moving averages of all the stocks traded on the TSX. My internet search for such a graph has been unsuccessful. Would you at 5iResearch know where I could view such a plot. Thanks ... Cal

Q: Hello 5I Team: I currently hold XTR & CIG686 for retirement income. If they comprise 50% of core portfolio and therefore both at about a 55% holding of bonds make up about 27% of portfolio, would you consider these types of bonds suitable for risk diversification? I also keep some cash and GICs in addition to core which amount to about 15% of core. Thank you, Larry.
