Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: A couple of bond funds, namely CLF and CBO are now trading at 52 week lows. Is this an opportunity to buy them or evidence that the market is expecting higher interest rates and therefore forebodes further decreases in the prices of the these funds? ... or something else?

Thanks,

Q: Good Morning Team...
Even though the US 10 yr has risen in the last few days, which normally spells fund flow to equities, a pullback in the overall market looks imminent. Would it be realistic to expect a small $50+ rally in the price of gold, and would Goldcorp be your favoured large cap.TIA Smokey

Q: Hello Peter and the 5i Team:

What is your opinion on CEW Equal Weight Bank and Lifeco ETF as a diversified investment in the financial sector? It would be about 8.4% of the overall portfolio. CEW holds 10 bank and insurance company stocks.

The purchase of CEW would be funded by the sale of TD, as I realize that 8.4% is too high a weighting for this one bank stock. A commentator on BNN suggested greater diversification in this sector going forward.

As usual, thanks in advance for your timely advice and excellent service.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: The "hockey stick" graph for Tesla Motors (TSLA - NASDAQ) was really extended today, with its breakout through $100 being also a break up to the $110 level. What would you do if you had some now: halve it, hold it, or jump to the sidelines? (The position is less than 5% even after today's move but big enough that halving it is feasible.) Can you comment in general terms about handling stocks making moves of this kind? Thanks!
