Q: Re: XEG
Hi Peter:

I bought some XEG for my TFSA at around $ 18 about 18 months ago
I am under water
I think the seasonal trade for energy sector to go up is around the summer, so I am hanging on before selling it to move
to some dividend stocks like BCE, IPL.
When does the normal seasonal trend for the oil and gas stock
normally peaks ? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter&5i: I have for some time now owned American Tower (AMT), on the thesis that owning the wireless infrastructure that everyone has no choice but to use is apt to be a pretty good gig. Also it gave me exposure to the American dollar through what I considered to be a blue-chip US large-cap. Within the last few days however Carson Block/Muddy Waters (remember Sinoforest?) released an exposé style report on AMT, concluding that it was close to double its defensible valuation. What do you think? I have been using it as a cornerstone holding. Would you trim it back before seeing how things shake out? Thanks!!

Q: hi 5i,
1) do you think the US housing "recovery" will sustain. a lot of the inventory has been bought by private equity and large funds. now they need a buyer, who will that be?
2) do you think gold has turned, or do you see more downside?
3) do you see a significant correction in the US stock markets coming soon?
thx chris

Q: Hi 5iResearch. I know this is outside of your coverage universe, but I would really like to ask your opinion of a US-listed company: LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD).

I use it and it seems like more and more people are using it. It is a high growth company and in the last couple years has really carved out a nice piece of the HR Recruitment space in the market. It's always hard to tell with such a "new" business model and company, but please give your opinion about this company and companies like this that are embarking on the internet/mobile advertising and social networking space.
