Q: Is Direct Cash (DCI) worth looking at as a buy today given the price drop? Is the dividend sustainable? Or is the analyst's sell recommendation a good reason to hold off? Thanks.

Q: I have been looking at REITs since the sector as a whole has dropped. I have D.UN but it has flat-lined, to borrow your exprssion. I have also looked at Dundee Industrial(DIR),True North
(TH.UN) and Health Lease(HLP.UN) You can tell that I am more interested in div income than growth, as these are all yielding above 8%. What is your opinion of these? Alternatively, should I be looking at an ETF that will cover these reits. I find etf's hard to follow as there are so many and they all sound alike and have similar names.

Q: Thank you 5i team for your prompt reply on my question. I truly valued your excellent service. It's like a lighthouse for me.

Thank you again.

Q: Hi Peter, we had MMT before you exposed the stealing of the pipeline company. This time is a little bit more. Under such condition, is it possible to value it? Your previous replies are extremely educational and helpful.

Q: Peter, I have both physical gold and gold stock Goldcorp (G) where the ratio is about 3:1
I'd like to increase my gold holdings to bring the total to about 4% of my assets, for insurance.
Would you suggest more physical gold or more Goldcorp?

Q: Hi Peter;
is Easy Home a "buy" at the price of $14.45 (up 4% today) ?
Also, is Auto Canada @ $36.80 (up 2.25%) a good buy.
Do you have a preference between the two?
I have $9,000 to invest. Should I purchase either one or put $4,500 in both?
Thanks, Ron
Would you recommend to invest

Q: Hi 5i people. This is a follow up question to one asked by Ray regarding QE. No one seems to be worried about the consequences of QE. It's a party, let keep going! The FED's balance sheet is now above 3 trillion (with a T). Could we please pause for a moment and ask what happens when they unwind that or how are they going to do it? Are we not at least robbing Peter (tomorrow) to pay Paul (to-day)? Henry
