Q: I've owned this stock in a LIRA account for a few years and it's done reasonably well but seems to have leveled out over the past year or so. Any thoughts on further growth or should I dump it into something like VUG, Vanguard Growth, or?

Q: I have some US dollars to invest. What do you think of the growth prospects for this company. I see a trailing PE of 18 times and a forward PE of less than 9. Or is there something else you like better.
As always thanks for your help.

Q: Can I get 5i's updated view on Element Financial? Earnings were released on Wednesday and they seemed to match guidance and street expectations. I also noticed it has been doing quite well over the past few months compared to banks (although bank earnings see to be giving banks some catch up). How do you think EFN will do versus the rest of the financial sector?

Q: Good morning. I would appreciate your thoughts on bought deal announced today with National Bank selling 9 million shares at $12.60. The shares were selling at $14.00 2 days ago. It almost seems that there is an effort to keep the share price down and the stock is becoming frustrating to hold. With rising AUM and National Bank backstop should there not be shareholder value?

Q: You have mentioned in previous answers that stock allocation in an RESP should be independent from other account holdings due to the defined time frame when the money will be used. I have an RESP for my 8 year-old that consists of $10,000 BNS and 10,000 SLF and $6500 cash. I plan to deploy the cash in March. Do you have any recommendations on a single additional stock OR might I be better off to sell BNS and SLF and buy a few ETF's to sufficiently diversify? I still have 9 years until she heads to post-secondary.
Thanks.

Q: Thanks for a great service. I seldom ask a question as I usually find the answers in searching for recent questions.
Could I have your opinion of ZWU. I am retired and need the income from my RRIF due to the low interest rates. If not ZWU, any other ETFs I may consider.

Q: I have read that US Hedge Funds have been shorting the Canadian Banks because of a pending housing collapse like the one in the USA in 2008. There are also several analysts on BNN that say this is ridiculous because the Canadian housing market is vastly different than the US housing market prior to its collapse. I agree that the Canadian housing market has much less risk than the US market, but I find it hard to believe that the smart people that run US hedge funds don't know this.
what am I missing?

Thanks,
Hans

Q: Just a correction to someone's comment about Currency Exchange International: For Canadians, the private placement is a four month hold and not twelve months which is the case for Americans. I think its important to note.
