Q: Hi Peter & 5i: You mentioned the potential for the flooding in the western prairies area to impact drilling operations on effected lands. I'm wondering more broadly about whether you have any thoughts on other businesses that may be impacted significantly. Unfortunately located REIT properties come to mind on the negative side but there must be other examples. I don't know whether there are "clean-up" oriented businesses that might actually may do well as a result of the disaster. Can you expand my thinking here with suggestions of any stocks that bear extra-careful watching while the waters recede? Thanks!

Q: Hello,
I would like your opinion of Black Diamond Group (BDI-T) and if you feel the recent pullback is an opportunity for entry. Thanks to all at 5i for your great advice!

Q: Peter & Co.,

2 of my core holdings, BCE and Emereging Markets (PIE-N), have just been getting crushed recently, for very different reasons. Are these sell offs overdone, or is there more pain to come? I consider myself a long term investor, but how much longer can I let these stocks be an anchor to my portfolio?

Thanks.

Q: GCL
Hi Peter & Co.
Any recent news (good or bad) on Group Colabor. The only recent thing I have seen was an announcement that their dividend declarations would now line up timewise with their quarterly reports. It seems on big market down-days Colabor does not get hammered as badly, would this indicate it is already undervalued?
Thanks,
John

Q: Regarding IPL.UN this goes back to your comments on Stop Loss points. Following your comments I assessed where I would want a STOP LOSS and removed most. A STOP LOSS today on IPL.UN might have cost an investor dearly.

Thanks for your valuable advice.

Q: Hi 5i If a good quality company pays a good dividend , say 4%
and as this market shows all companies can be pulled down in price will the dividend be affected negatively if the stock drops 15% but the companies fundamentals remain strong ?

Q: Thank you Peter for at least attempting to explain IPL.UN trading. Globeinvestorgold and other newspaper sources seem useless in this context. Cheers, Ken

Q: Hi Peter and Staff,

Love your service ! Have recommended it to my investment club.

Equities are down today. The "correction" is here - and may provide buying opportunities.

My question. I am a believer in seasonality and DRIP programs. One of the most significant recurring seasonal events is the best six months of the market to be in (Late October - Early May).

For a long term buy-and-hold strategy, would it not make sense to participate in automatic DRIP's during the worst 6 months (forced buying during seasonal dips), and leave the DRIP programs and bank the dividends during the best six months, and then use the accumulated cash to re-balance/purchase on good days (like today).

Thanks !
