Q: I recently read this in a publication "The percentage of people over 65 continues to increase each year. According to a University of Ottawa report, by 2021 - just seven years from now - there will be 6.9 million Canadians age 65 or older. They will represent 17.8% of the total population." Where can we invest our money to capitalize on this demographic trend? Thank-you.

Q: Thank you for your time!

I have a follow up question on Argonaut Gold vs. BTO. I am overweight in gold with a substantial holding in AR. My average cost per share is $4.32. I do not mind holding on as I think the assets of this company are good. It is, however, disconcerting to see a new 52 week low every day! Should I consider moving my holdings in ArgonAut over to BTO, sell and take the loss or hold on? What would be a technical indicator that the stock has bottomed and one could average down....... If one is going to be hung for a sheep.....you might as well make it a Llama!!!

Q: Hi Peter,

I own some Sherritt shares and not sure if I should vote for Mr. Armoyan and his two nominees since the existing board hasn't done too much for the last several years.

Your insight is always greatly appreciated.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i Team,

In your response to Herve on April 17 regarding Flyht (FLY), you wrote "It is a hard task predicting one stock price one year in advance." Is it hard to predict for small cap stocks or all stocks in general?

My question is related to the "Target Price" shown by some websites like Globe, Yahoo etc. Does this price refer to "One Year" target price and if it does, then how much credence should the small investor give to such target prices. In some cases, the current price has already crossed the target price. Does this mean that such websites are predicting that those stocks have more downside than upside in the coming year and that the stock price is likely to come down to the target price shown ?

Also, in some recent responses, you have ended with a caveat "if the market does not roll over". Can you elaborate on what exactly you mean by this ?

Thanks for the amazing service you provide for us.

Q: Hello Team
I would appreciate your opinion on IMO now. Past opinion was just OK. I read today that Ford Equity sees it as a strong buy but what would you say? I own it (4.8%) but want to sell it to buy FLOT or XHY (I want some U.S. exposure). I have bought SGY and own Enbridge and Fortis (Utilities but are they considered energy partly?)
thanks for all you do

Q: Hi, could you please comment on the new news release on Spartan? Does this now justify the current share price and leave room for growth, or do you still see the price getting ahead of the company and think there will be consolidation?

Q: SUM

Feb 14 5i suggested if it could get back to $6.75, it would be a buy.

April 2 (@ $6.72) 5i suggested wait until 2nd week April.

Today, had a slight uptick after being fairly level since beginning of the month. Should I still wait to jump in for another week or so?

thanks for all you do

Q: Hi 5i,

I've been watching GUD very patiently, looking for a good entry point to buy stock. Today, i think i found that entry point with the stock off materially thanks to the Company announcing it received a receipt from the OSC to qualify their shares.

Would you recommend buying GUD on weakness like we're seeing today? In your experience, does a stock like this continue to sell off given how in the money players must be of the last two financings? I know you like management, but would you recommend buying shares today?

Q: Good morning, 5i.
I've owned ALTERRA POWER COM - AXY for several years and am currently down 75%. It's been trading at around the 30-32 cent mark for quite awhile. Is it time to move on or, since I've held it this long, should I continue to be patient and hopefully get some growth.
I don't see any questions on AXY since July 2013.
Thank you,

Q: Hi! I have a question on how to purchase low volume stocks. They often exhibit substantial differences between the Bid and Ask price. For eg, buying 1500 shares of DSG today at the market price would have given me an immediate "loss" of $210 v. the Bid price. Is there a way of avoiding this, perhaps by entering a Limit price? I'm not sure what that price should be in relation to the Bid/Ask. Comments please!
