Q: Hi Peter and 5i team,

I'm looking for an industrial stock to add to my portfolio. I currently own CCL.B and SJ, but I'd like to add a third stock in this sector? Do you have recommendations?

I also wanted your opinion on Chartwell Retirement REIT. I currently own 3 REITS (Riocan, H&R and Chartwell), but I was thinking of selling Chartwell and buying Boardwalk for a bit more growth.

Thanks very much,
Jason

Q: Hi Team, Just wondering if it would be possible for you to put the full name of the company in instead of just the stock symbol if the person asking the question hasn't done so. When one does not know the market too well it takes a lot of time to look them all up but I assume you already know most of them. Thank you so much for all your information

Q: Is this a bad time of the year for auto stocks? ACQ continues to move downward, as does LNR while MG is basically drifting.

Q: Am I correct in assuming that the price of Bell Aliant (BA) continues, and will continue, to fluctuate because of the underlying share price of BCE, since BCE shares are part of the buyout package?

Secondly, as I own BA in a taxable account, is it best to continue to hold BA and wait until the deal closes in order to collect the higher BA dividend as well as get BCE shares on a tax free basis? (I am assuming that the BCE shares coming to me will be tax-free).

Thanks for the continued wonderful service.

Q: Favourite Canadian Blue Chips with Dividends

Hi Team,
You often suggest older investors looking for some income should have a significant holding of Canadian Blue Chip dividend payers.

What are your favourites in this category right now?

Thank you. Michael

Q: I am considering SYZ,HCG, FSV and ESL in a TFSA as suggested in your response to a previous question. Please rank the stocks as no effect, minimum effect or material effect downside to rising interest rates. If any are considered to have a material effect would you please suggest an alternative to fit the group of 4 stocks. Thank you so much.

Q: Disappointing article on M/F’s. Top performing funds for 3 yrs that barely missed the top quartile in the other year would be eliminated by this filter. (Aside: I’m not a fan of MFs but don’t like bad analysis.)

Q: Hi guys , great service been in for a year plus and am very happy.
Can you project what will happen to dividend flat and dividend growth stocks if we see a bump up in inflation and a rise in interest rates.To the point are dividend stocks overvalued historically, in the relentless search for yield.

Q: What do you think of all the changes going on at loblaw L? It hit a new high today. I really like loblaw finally and am thinking of adding to my position. I know they need to integrate shoppers but with all the joe fresh stores opening up and the dividend money they keep getting from their choice REIT I see nothing but upside on loblaw. Agree?

Q: Good Afternoon Peter and Team,
Just read a blog on Mawer Investment Management's site which discusses "10 Ways That Investors Can Avoid Being Duped". Link is below:
http://www.mawer.com/knowledge-centre/mawer-blog/fraudster-alert-10-ways-investors-can-avoid-being-duped/
I suppose one of the best ways to help avoid being duped is to keep your 5i Membership up to date and pay very close attention to what Peter and/or Ryan have to say about a particular company before you purchase.
Just thought I would share this with other members. Thanks, DL

Q: Hello 5i team,
In early May, I sold all my VRX shares to buy a ½ position in each of CXR and GUD with the view to maintain the ½ position in GUD but to add another ½ in CXR.
CXR has flown up by 26% since then and that is making me hesitate to buy the other ½; my other holdings in the health care sector are a full position in 2 ETFs namely XHC and ZUH; I still have some spare cash so what would you suggest?
Thanks
Tony
