Q: One of the members mentioned feeling bad that he had missed the boat on the rising tide. I am also in that boat. I had planned to buy something but kept putting it off. That being said, are there still some bargains around? I am thinking of the usually favoured stocks such as Shop, Google, CSU etc.
Thanks for the greatest service

Q: I have a significant amount of new funds available for an account I invest in myself - myself including the sage advice of y'all at 5i. I currently have a blend of many of your equities from the growth and balanced funds (21 to date). I have recently 'cut bait' on a few of your long term choices (GSY, TRI, KXS, LMN, PRL - simply because I believe there must be others in your 2 portfolios that have better upside, either intermediate term or long term. And, because I have a pathetic disability at being impatient. Could you kindly recommend 6 or 7 equities from your 2 portfolios that you particularly like for near term purchases, with bright futures, and with entry prices. I do not trade often, and am therefore behind in my purchases of your more recent recommendations. These would be of particular interest.

Q: Hello,

Could you provide your top 3 or 4 choices from your income and balanced portfolio you would buy today? If there are any gems outside of these portfolios that are worth a hard look please include them.
Thank you

Q: For aTFSA I coud add to DOL or start a new position inTVK. What would you choose for a long term hold? Thank you,

Q: PNG released results this morning. Looks good but not sure if good enough to sustain its strong price movement. Your comments after the call would be helpful. How do you see things progressing price-wise over the next 6-12 months? Still looking like a top performer?

Q: Thoughts on the quarter please, if not already asked.
A prior question on the Q expectations you had indicated...'Revenue expectations are $39.36 mln for the quarter'..... but it looks like the 'Consolidated revenue for the quarter was flat at $28.4 million.'
Is this a concern? Or is there a difference between 'consolidated' and 'revenue'?
The forward guidance without the new acquisition looks good and probably even better with the acquisition (to be announced post completed acquisition).
Do you see any obstacles with the potential acquisition, ie anything that might prevent it?
I have owned the stock since about 18-24 months...and I thank-you for the suggestion!!!

cheers,
Steve

Q: Did 5i have a chance to be part of Savaria investor day and if so do you have any thought?

Q: Hello:

Canadian banks have had a great run. Valuations have markedly changed more than I would have predicted. At what valuation might you trim into this strength? What headwinds could be foreseen?

Q: As a follow up to my question today, Do you think any fuel issues on margins might already be priced in...or the market assuming that it may be short-lived? What would you be worried about in their upcoming earnings...or what could be a catalyst for further share price increases

Q: Re: Income Portfolio

What was the basis of consideration for the construction of your Income Portfolio?

I assume that you were not considering a diversified sector allocation.

Was it constructed on the basis of the constituent securities being stable, reliable in payment, and well established?

Is there a reason for not using covered call securities?

What advice would you give someone considering establishing an income based portfolio?

Q: Would Telus and BCE be considered good entry points for cash flow with minimal growth potential? They seem to be very out of favour currently.
