Q: Hi everyone,

Happy Holidays! I have small exposure to the materials sector through a 4% position in Stella-Jones. With the decrease in gold, I am looking at adding some gold exposure with Agnico Eagle. Do you favour adding exposure to gold or other sub sectors of materials. I know you've recommended Methanex recently.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Hello 5i Team,
I've been building a portfolio matching the Balanced Equity Portfolio.
So far I invested in all recommended companies with the exception of
CSU, ENGH, CCL.B, KXS, CXI, T and WCP. Out of these 7, which 2 would you
recommend to invest on right now based on price and diversification?
Please recommend half or full position. Thanks.

Q: Hi there, regarding PLI in the GP, can you shed any light as to who's selling heavily? Any insiders selling in the past three months? Any insiders buying recently? Have you finally read the false report, any comments on it? Any thoughts, best guess, as to what price range an equity issue would be done at considering where the stock price is now, if one is done?? Thanks!

Q: What do you make of the latest development re: PLI with the CEO having to issue a press release denying false rumors about his selling of shares. The short sellers seem to really have it in for this company! What would the reasons be for this?

Are we going to be seeing more of this kind of thing in line with the increase in 'false news', particularly in the recent US election?

Would appreciate your comments.

Q: I decided in early November to use your service and construct a portfolio mirroring the Balanced Equity portfolio of now 23 stocks. I tried to acquire each of the equities below the October 31 closing prices however the above three have galloped away and are the only ones I haven't yet acquired. Should I continue to be patient and await a pullback or should I take the longer view and buy at this point even though each of the three has moved strongly higher in the last month or so. Alternatively is there another equity(or equities) or ETF to consider in place of the three that you'd recommend. I have bought only one-half of the amount of each of the securities I expect to eventually purchase and have maintained the balance in cash as a matter of caution. All of these funds are held in an rrsp. Would you recommend moving ahead with putting the cash into these equities now and holding only a 7% cash position at current valuations. My time horizon is 3 to 5 years. Many thanks for your advice!!
