Q: We you be able to give me your views on Rifco (RFC). I own Carfinco so I'm wondering if owning both is advisable. It's inexpensive at this point. Would a stop loss be advisable if buying for an RSP?

Q: With interest rates currently so low and the prospect of inflation and higher rates always on the horizon, just about every fixed income specialist is advising to stay away from bonds with long maturities. Many are also advocating inflation protected or real return bonds. Given the current state of the fixed income market, what advice could you give members as to where they should be with the fixed income portion of their portfolio? Do you know how a retail investor can purchase or participate in inflation protected or real return instruments (both in Canada and the US) and do you endorse this approach at this time? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, can I get your view on "ARN". My cost is $6.00 would you average down to lower the cost with the hope of a takeover? It's has a less than 1% weight in my portfolio. Thanks, Nick
Q: Bonavista - BNP. Buy, sell or hold at current levels. This would be for income portfolio for 2-3 yrs. or any other name you suggest for income and growth. Thanks and keep up good work.
Q: Thanks, 5i Team for all your help, Owned Davis and Henderson DH back in the old income trust days and was thinking of revisiting, primarily for income but hoping for some modest growth. When I looked at its financials, however, I was concerned with the hi level of goodwill on the books. Then I also checked RSI (Rogers Sugar) and alas they also carry a heavy goodwill asset. I can see this with a Coca-Cola, but . . .
Q: I was using MMp.un as a combo gold/income play, but see it's share price hit a new low. Is it owrth holding or should I take my capital loss and go elsewhere?

Q: Thank you, Peter and staff, for providing what I would label as an "essential service" to those interested in the world of investment. As a relatively new investor, your reports and replies to member questions have been invaluable in helping me make more informed decisions and learning about the market - thank you. Question: Your reports and replies often refer to "management", and how important they are. What consitutes a management team that receives your seal of approval, and where does one find such information (other than 5i Research)? Would you care to give an example of a good management team in some, or all, of the following Canadian sectors: Banks, Transportation, Telecoms, Pipelines, Metals & Mining, Manufacturing, Information Technology, Consumer Goods and Health Care. Many thanks. John.

I heard yesterday that they had over 2m warrants exercised 1.5m of these were shorted and 500k bought. Same again today so they now have 5m in the bank.
Would the shorting of these warrants be holding the SP back and once all warrants exercised we could maybe expect forward movement?
Thanks
Don
