Q: Pizza Pizza is up 5% and seems to be on an uptrend following a multi-month fall from 40% higher. Could you comment on the earnings? Also, my dad already owns A&W and wants to know if this is a good moment to start a position in Pizza Pizza. He doesn't expect capital gains, but rather, some monthly income that will likely not be reduced too much by dividend cuts. Usually we stay away from downtrends but interest rates being back at 1.6% to 1.7%, we're looking at income stocks. Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i Team,
I currently hold in my TFSA both AQN and BLX. Judging that the market is running for safety and that I have a long time horizon, would you consider adding/switching to another utility such as CU(11x PE) or BEP. If not, any other companies tickle your fancy?

Thanks

Q: Could you provide me with a few examples of companies or sectors which could be considered blue chip, dividend paying, non-cyclical? I would like to move some of my cash to these types of stock. I currently have a 30%+ cash balance overall.

Thank you......Ron

Q: Hello there,
For the above stocks, which are in my RRSP, gains in about a year are 15%, 37%,26% and 15% respectively. I didn’t plan it but just happened to buy approx $5k in each of these on a near 52 week low I guess.
I read a comment about letting your winners run, but also am learning about taking profits and not being greedy for more.
What do you look for to make a smart decision, please?
In the examples given, are any obvious sells or keeps?
Thank you for your help!

Q: I am trying to get a handle on how defensive EIF might be given weakening economic growth and weakening oil prices, which presumably means lower fuel costs for their airline services, some of which appear to be independent of economic circumstances. However that independence is not clear nor is their reliance on local or other economic prospects. Can you clarify any of this please. Thank you.
