Q: re AYA.....I think their report isn't bad. What is all the silly trading about? Also, when do you think the share will trade on the big board? Is ithis not a good day to increase holdings if a person wants to long on AYA?
Q: Could you please provide an update on Intact Financial (IFC)? It is roughtly 42% property and casualty insurance, and 58% personal automobile insurance. Would this company lose capital value as interest rates rise or is there enough forward growth to ensure a positve long-term investment?
Many thanks!

Q: Would please give update on eit.un thank you
Q: Comment, by another Philip to Philip's tax planning comment. Canada Revenue Agency’s prescribed interest rate for these interfamily loans will only be increasing on Oct. 1, not disappear as suggested in his post. - Cheers.
Q: Hi, is it a good time to buy AYA? It is soon to go on tsx and it has dropped last 2 days. Buying opportunity?
Q: Good morning team, I have been paging through the income and dividend questions. I am looking to make a substantial purchase in my TFSA and I am looking for your top 3 or 4 dividend paying companies. I would be interested in DRIPS as well but not absolute. Thanks again and have a great long weekend!
Q: Recently, I had asked you about 4 to 6 energy stocks for comparison purposes which you answered. I am still thinking about them and also am considering 2 ETF's. They are ZWU and ZUT. Could you explain the difference and do you have an opinion on them? Thanks again for your good work.

Q: Further to my question on the last minute drop in AYA yesterday and given the market's reaction to it's earnings today, would that not indicate a leak of inside information that was not available to the rest of us?

Q: I am confused regarding the latest reply to a question regarding BIP.UN. The quote read "effective immediately, the following companies are now deemed eligible for consideration for INCLUSION in S&P/TSX indices". The 5i response discussed REMOVAL from the indices. So my question is: are the stocks discussed being removed or included?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Q: Morning,

Q: Hi Peter,
Firstly, thank you for your service. It is much appreciated and quite the bargain.
I was looking at your model portfolio and noticed that 17 of the 20 stocks pay dividends. However, 10 of the 20 the stocks either pay no dividend or pay one below 2.5% per annum.
You may have seen in the papers that an interesting tax planning opportunity(making 1% loans to spouses and family members) is coming to an end after September 30th. The idea behind the planning is to avoid the attribution rules and get income into the hands of related taxpayers who have a lower marginal tax rate then the person making the loan. To do so, the investements made by the family member(or the trust of which they are a beneficiary) must earn more than the 1% charged by the person loaning the funds as it is the spread between the return earned on the borrowed funds and the 1% interest paid that gets taxed in the hands of the family member/trust. Clearly, the higher the dividend yield the better so long as there is limited risk to the loaned capital.
Without wanting to impose an undue burden upon you, can you share 20-25 names of companies that would be appropriate for this planning. i.e. ones that have a good safe dividend while having growth potential? I assume that the 10 companies from your model portfolio which pay 2.5% or more are suitable choices. Can you provide an alternate model portfolio for this income splitting planning that expires in about a month?
Regards,
Philip

Q: I have been holding Legumex Walker for quite some time (at a much higher price than today)and was wondering what your thoughts are on this company. Still waiting for some earnings from the Canola crushing plant. At around $3, is it a good buy and worth holding for the long term. Is there some other company in this sector that would be a better opportunity? Thanks again for the great service and I will be renewing shortly.
Q: What effect if any do you think today's announcement will have on the effected securities (I own only BIP.UN of the securites mentioned):

Q: CSS Contrans and investing rules and disciplines:
Having hung on to too many stocks over the years as they dropped 10% or more under the "buy" price, I am working on my "sell" disciplines.
I am now down 10% on CSS. Does one hit the sell button, hang on and "hope" or carefully watch for further decreases and buy more?
Thanks for your help and guidance in this tricky market.
