Q: ENW had recent announcement with a large vegetable producer which I thought would have moved the stock upward. Shortly after this announcement it signs an undertaking with Raymond James for funding to build the processing equipment. Any reason the stock would drop, rather than rise on what appears to be good news?

Q: Hello, I would like to know why the size of an etf seems to be a factor when 5I answers questions relating to etfs. My understanding is that regardless of its current size when a buy is initiated the fund provider just has to add the appropriate amount of units to satisfy the purchaser via buying the underlying stocks in the market. Does this create liquidity problems/a wider bid ask spread? Your comments, as always, would be appreciated. Thank you.
Q: I assume there was nothing in google search data before the last crash that could be used to predict the next one? Perhaps something less obvious than increasing paranoia or volatility?
Q: I have a reasonably well balanced stock portfolio, consisting mainly of large TSX dividend paying stocks. As the DOW continues to reach new highs, I am growing increasingly concerned about the propects of another bubble, and want to have a strategy ready to protect the gains in my portfolio if necessary. Other than cashing out, would your view be to invoke stop losses on my more interest sensitive stocks? If so, what level of stop loss would be appropriate (ie. is there a typical percentage or dollar level that is used, or would it vary by the type of stock?
Thanks for your input 5i.

Q: Hi 5i: There seems to be no consensus on the definitions of the sectors that an investor should represent in a portfolio. I have seen lists that range from 10 to 20 such "sectors". What sector definition do you use? Also, what software system do you use to identify the sector to which a particular stock belongs? I ask the latter question because I use RBC Direct which, for example, puts IPL in the Energy sector while most other sector systems I've looked at class IPL as an utility.
Q: Will you pl suggest ten stocks with strong fundamentals we can buy during the upcoming tax loss selling season Dec 2013 for substantial gains in one to two years time frame?
Q: Investment firms often charge 2% to manage a portfolio. This equates to a 20% fee on a portfolio that earns 10% (2%/10%) which equals a fee of 100% (2%/2%) of the net gain versus say an 8% benchmark which you can buy as an ETF. How do they get away with this and how do you negotiate lower rates? Thanks. Michael

Q: General question , but at what time and when is the next webcast?
Q: Peter - I am wondering where you go to in order to find out when individual companies are giving their quarterly reports and what the street consensus is for their upcoming performance. Is there a specific website to go to for that information. I really appreciate your service and have truly benefitted more that ever before. You are to be congratulated for setting this up.
Q: Hello Team 5i,
I have a diverse portfolio consisting of many companies, some of the companies are located in faraway places, hence my question about tax treaties with other countries. In my RRSP account I am consistently being deducted funds when I receive dividends, I assume for taxes, below are a few of the companies doing this. I have contacted my brokerage company and am basically told this is the way it is. One of the companies below “Williams Partners” deducted the most money. I thought we had a tax treaty in place (USA) or is there something I need to sign.
