Q: Have some American shares that are not doing as well as I hoped. I thought that I could sell some of them and purchase some Canadian shares, because of our devalued dollar. What do you think.
Do you like the potential of Dollarama, or do you prefer something of this calaber?
Thanks.

Q: Good Morning
Today BIP.UN announced an equity offering of $890,000 at the issue price of $45.00. The stock fell 2.2% to $55.95. Will this offering affect the price of the stock?
I will also appreciate any comments on BIP.UN going forward. I am ahead about 27% on this stock and wondering whether I should sell.
Thank you as always

Q: Hi 5i:

I'd appreciate your comments on two companies. First, DHX seems to be on a steady slide and RBC Direct gives no news. Is there any news? Second, ATS has also been disappointing for a while. What do you think of its prospects over the next year or so? Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter and the 5I team

I have been thinking of buying a defensive consumer stock, one that may benefit from the lowwer fuel prices and one that is some what protected against economic down trends. I have been considering COST (Costco) but am concerned with the currency difference. And also I have been thinking of buying DOL. Which one do you like and what are the pro's and con's for each stock. Anytime I venture to a Costco the place is packed and they seem to have an almost cult like following, I haven't been to a Dollarama lately but by the share price they must be doing equally well.

Q: Hello- Well, Td Waterhouse is not functioning AGAIN this morning. I find that this happens much more frequently than acceptable, especially including days when there is heavy volume on the open. I am thinking of opening another account with another trading firm and wondered- does this happen frequently with the other bank or Questrade etc trading accounts? Any recommendations for better service would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Q: I just became aware of CIPF (Canadian Investor Protection Fund). One Million coverage per brokerage account in case your broker has an issue like bankruptcy theft etc. Would you advise limiting the amount held at any one brokerage less than on million. And once you reach one million do you split the money into two accounts to keep it under. It seems this would make sense to take full advantage of this protection. Similar to limiting the amount invested in a GIC or HISA to $100,000 to take advantage of CDIC... Or am I just being paranoid?

Q: I know it is unrealistic to always pick winners in the stock market, but what should the typical win/loss ratio be? I'm assuming it should be better than 50/50, but can you give an idea of what a good investor should aim for? It's always painful to see losers (for me, SGY, TCW, CPH, FM, SYZ) and sometimes I feel reluctant to sell and cut my losses because I think they might turn around and improve my win/loss ratio. Thank you for your great service. I will be opting for the 2 year membership renewal this month!

Q: Hi, I've been watching RX since it was about 11 dollars, hoping for an opportunity to get in. It has recently taken quite a dive to 8 dollars and looks like it might go down further. Has something changed with the company or would this be a good time to buy?

SYZ is doing the same thing. Is this a good time to get in or will it drop further?

Thanks!
