Q: What would your advice be for someone who wants to "park" some money in an ETF or other vehicle, to not lose any significant value over the next 6-12 months, while still earning a 5%+, return? Are there relatively safe options besides cash or a GIC that could retain most of their value in a downturn? Do you have any ideas using these criteria? Thank you as always.

Q: I’m looking at starting a position in Celestica. Aggressive growth in my TFSA is the goal. One concern I have come across is the potential fraud case about Google switching suppliers. I realize these potential cases are a dime a dozen but after my recent GSY experience I am extra vigilant about potential malfeasance on the part of management, either real or imagined, as either scenario is bad for the company. Could you please offer any insight into this situation. I’m fine with short-term noise but if there’s potential for lingering issues I’d rather put the money elsewhere. Thanks for your insight.

Q: I have been a happy, satisfied member of 5i for 10 years and in all that time I have shied away from placing much importance P/E ratios, mostly because I sensed 5i finds P/E ratios can sometimes be misleading. Curiosity has gotten the better of me today. Without having done a deep dive, what should I glean from the information profile if you do or do not have a P/E ratio in the profile box? Is the lack of a P/E number a fed flag? Why does FLY have negative -12 or -16 over last 5 years?

Q: I am a large shareholder in this company having held it for more than 20 years. With today's takeover by AEM it is my largest holding by far but with the CVR (contingent value right) holders of the shares would likely receive another 25% in cash for the shares over a 10 year period. Can you go over the deal and advise what would be the best course of action please? John
