Q: I agree that the offer price is a pretty good deal for Paypal and not so much for the shareholders.

Why don't all 5i readers submit their vote, turning down the offer and see what happens.

I'm going to vote no for my 35,000 shares. Why don't the rest of you do the same.

Lets see what happens. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Perhaps we can get a better offer.

Best

Sheldon

Q: Hi 5i Team,

This is a general question on your balanced model portfolio. After making some significant gains in the oil sector over the past couple years, I'm entirely in cash now and looking to establish a safer portfolio for the longer term (I'm 41). I see that you set March 31st as the start date for the portfolio, does this mean that you will select a new set of stocks at this point based on the best value available, or does the list remain the same. I'm not rushing in to anything at the moment, so would be willing to wait until March 31st if you reevaluate at that point. I'm new to your service and find all the information extremely helpful.

Thanks!

Q: Since you added this company to your income portfolio, this has shot up like crazy. There has been no other news and the company was not moving anywhere for a long time. Is your membership base that big that it can drive the price of one stock that much higher in a two week period and reach all time high's. Isnt there risk that if someone enters now, they will end up losing capital. Also my question balance dropped to 23 from 24 even though I had asked a question about DBO. Why is that?

Q: Hello 5i
Would you please offer thoughts on Sylogist given we seem to be in a price decline phase - starting with an uptrend break in Sept-16?
Sure feels more than just drifting when a stock falls so hard in a single day. The charts (1&5 yr) are showing a technically broken-down stock not firmly in a downdraft. Am I being lulled to sleep with 5i positive tone and 5 year hypothical viewpoint - when I should really be taking action to protect my Capital?
Thanks
Dave

Q: I have a question about in which sector BCE resides. According to TMX group, BCE is in communication services, while according to another website, sectorspdr.com, telecommunication companies are lumped into the technology sector ETF that goes by the symbol XLK (http://www.sectorspdr.com/sectorspdr/sector/xlk). Do telecommunication companies comprise their own sector, or should I also consider them part of the technology sector? Thanks for reading, and I await your reply.
