Q: Hi Peter and team

Fabrice Taylor gave a couple of recommendations on BNN that intrigued me.These were Enterprise group Inc., E, and Symbility Systems, SY. These are tiny companies, apparently growing very quickly. Do, you have an opinion on them. I am thinking of a small position recognizing the risk.

Thanks.

Q: Question: I bought this Brookfield Infrastructure {BIP.UN} a while back on the recommendation of Scotia McLeod. It appears to pay a fair yield but has shown no indication of growth so far.
It dropped in value shortly after I purchased the shares and has shown no growth to speak of since. How does this stock compare to the other Brookfield stocks?

Q: Hi,

New member here but have a question as to your thoughts with regards to total portfolio diversification. Obviously the stock picks and model portfolio on 5i is limited to CDN securities. What would you generally advise in terms of percentage weightings of CDN, USD, and international equities? I am quite "overweight" in the CDN security area and try to purchase USD & international security ETFs to offset this.. Curious what your thoughts here are. Thanks!

Q: I would appreciate your revised view of Nordion (NDN) now that their most recent quarterly report has been released. You last commented on it July 15th with a 'wait and see'. Perhaps, the dividend will be re-instated. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter et al
RE: SYZ

I'm looking to add a little to my small cap I.T. exposure. I'm having trouble deciding between SYZ (which I know you recommend) and RedKnee (RKN). Redknee is a bit larger, SYZ pays a dividend. Both have performed very well over the last year. Your thoughts on which you may prefer would be most appreciated. Thanks as always.

Q: Hi 5i Staff,

I've recently read an article about Canadian mortgage investment corporations in Moneysense magazine and this was the first I've heard of the them.

What is your take on them and do you have 1 or 2 that would be recommended as part of the income portion of a portfolio?
