Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hello 5i
FSZ has been marking time since its run up earlier this year.
Do you feel this is a good "value like" entry point?

In light of the recent acquisition, have you heard or is there indication of how the purchase will be funded.......a share issue expected?


Looking to purchase for excellent dividend and 3 to 5 year growth prospects, 3% wieght in a conservative / diversified portfolio.

Thanks
DAve

Q: Having an Income portfolio including the above companies, I'm unsure of the effects of a potential increase in US rates in say December 2016 when at the same time the Bank of Canada holds rates or even maintains dovish tone signally near term rate cut. Will holding Canadian interest rates steady offset what would otherwise be negative pressure of a US rate increase on Canadian dividend paying stocks? Thanks

Q: I am primarily building an income portfolio for retirement in 5-6 years. It will represent about 30-40% of my retirement income. Alongside this I like to invest in some equities for capital gains. My question revolves around the need for any value investments I have owned EFV for about 10 years and really has done nothing. I also own the Chou 100 and 102 funds. My question is whether or not you think to be properly diversified one should have some money in value investments. If so, what ones would you recommend.

Thank You

Paul

Q: I was comparing banks and was intrigued by comparison between these 2.
YOY, BNS is about 14% higher than CM, whereas 5 yr return shows both very similar return. Is there a merit in switch from BNS to CM,to take benefit of relative discount on cibc. Over longer term banks have moved in locksteps. thanks

Q: I am a little confused by your answer to Richard's question yesterday about HCG. On the one hand, you still consider HCG a good long term investment, while on the other hand, you said that you took it out of the Balanced Portfolio on short term prospects. I had thought that your advice was based on long term investing, not short term trading. I would appreciate your clarification.

Thanks,
