Q: They announced the hiring of a new president recently. The article mentioned that the new hire had a background in growing the cloud business at his previous company. Was this hiring part of an orderly transition at the company and does his background suggest a new direction for the company or just a good fit for what has always been going on there? Can we expect a little "spark" to this company now?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: 5i has pointed to RPI.un as a way to play the online shopping and package shipping theme. I’ve been very happy with this high-yielding, thin-trading stock since late 2013, but am wondering if there is any particular reason it is up sharply today. I couldn’t find any news and trading volume is not offering any clues.

Thanks for the excellent service and your useful insights.

Q: In my TFSA I have a 3/4 position in CXI and have held it for a couple of years. Have 1/4 position in PHO. How would you view selling CXI to buy PHO? Sector not an issue and looking for the one with the greatest growth potential. Willing to hang on to CXI if you think it has a future.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I am thinking about buying cineplex (new position), say 3-4% of my portfolio and 5 year time horizon. Would you endorse ? What is the payout ratio and do you consider the dividend safe ? What's their record at missing estimates in the last 2 years ? Do you think their will continue to grow in the next few years ? Would you know if the VIP offering is a success so far and is it becoming important in terms of their revenue ? I was thinking adding the position to my RRSP instead of TFSA ? Thank you for your help !

Q: I missed the recent run up in the stock, as did not buy when first recommended at 5iResearch, last year. However, reading through your comments, for past several months, I am getting interested in building a position, may be 2%, for all our family accounts. My present portfolio (and family) reflects more of 5i Balanced but also have some Growth companies , like SHOP, GIB.a, KXS, TOY, etc. each 3-4%. I am quite happy with the portfolio mix and its performance. Thanks to continued guidance and excellent picks by your team. Would you be comfortable to buy at today's levels or is it too late to the party. ? Thanks
