Q: Peter - what are your thoughts on FIE - Claymore Financial Monthly Income Fund. I like the 7.3% Yield. I am looking at a 10% weighting in my portfolio. Is the low daily volume trade in this fund a concern? What are the risks? Thank You.

Q: I'm looking to buy at least one of the Big-5 Canadian Banks. There is all this chatter in the last 2 years about a housing crash and I'm not immune to this constant rhetoric in the news and blogosphere. Therefore I'm hesitant to put money into these banks, but I also don't want to ignore the pretty stable dividends that they can provide. Would you suggest that I make the investment in the banks now and if so, which of the big 5 is the safest?

Q: Hi 5i! I have been a long time holder of Manulife (MFC). Now with the prospect of rising interest rates, insurers are back in favour. Would you recommend holding on to MFC or making the switch to Sunlife (SLF). If not Sunlife, which would be your preferred insurer?

I am slowly turning over my portfolio to 5i's covered stocks and/or model portfolio!

Thanks for helping us retail investors!

Q: Hi Petr:

You recommended FSZ last week on BNN. I'm having trouble interpreting its P/E ratio of 165. I presume you are using something else instead of earnings as a comparator. Could you explain?

Q: I have positions in all 5 major banks, the largest in BMO as it pays the best dividend. The pundits all knock BMO, and they class TD and BNS well above it. But BMO lost the least % today of any of the banks. What is your thinking on banks?

Q: To increase the return of my financial equities I'm thinking of selling all my ZWB (BMO Covered Call Banks) and replacing it with an equal amount of TD and BNS. Is a 12 month total return of 8% reasonable? Thanks for the fantastic service. Paul
