Investment Q&A

Q: Hi I hold one full position in Qqq and have done well with this, this is probably my only significant position in the US markets the rest are well diversified but mostly canadian stocks. I would like this to be a long term hold, however if you think the US tech stocks have had their run up in the near term, I was considering selling a half position to diversify in Us markets..can you suggest an ETF if you feel that is the right course of action. Thanks.Shyam

Q: Hi Peter. Would you recommend this ETF for 5% of my portfolio, I'm diversified Canadian 40% US 40% international 20%. Would this be a good time to add it to the plan?

Q: CLCT has experienced a significant decline over the past few months. Can you suggest what may be behind this, and is it likely to continue to underperform the general market? How safe is the dividend?

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Team,

What are your thoughts on Axovant Sciences in the US? Seems to be getting a lot of attention after the recent Forbes article on it.

Thanks,

Jordan

Q: Which company would have better growth potential in current markets?
Thank you for your assessment!

Q: Could I have your opinion on SGYP.US . Thanks

Q: What is your opinion on FMC? They are a niche chemical company with considerable insider buying.

Q: In reference to Ryan's Blog May 15, 2014 Market Proxies I was wondering what you thought of adding one or both of these companies to a well diversified Canadian portfolio for my only US exposure following their recent correction?

Q: Hello Could you paint a current picture on these stocks. Should I hold or et rid of them. Thanx in advance Cliff

Q: Hi guys, i own shares of Meredith corp. Im currently in the green. What would you recommend with the recent acuasition of Media general buying Meredith corp. Would you hold here or sell.

Thanks again.

Q: Good Morning, looking to buy one of these for yield as they look attractive price wise. But is the yield safe? Is it the usual 15% withholding tax? Your view on these companies and sector would be very appreciated.
Thanks!

Q: If you had to choose between these two which would you prefer and why? I already have some Canadian media and some U.S. and Canadian financials.
Thanks as always.

Q: 5I Team,

I'd be very interested in your thoughts on Willbros Group Inc. and what you foresee for the company going forward.

Thanks,
Scott

Q: Can you comment please on this stock which appears to have solid fundamentals. Other than the normal risks with US municipal corps falling into bankruptcy, are there any other risks or traps such as taxes if owned by non-US accounts etc?

Q: I just returned home from visiting my grandchildren, and my little grandson "con" me into visiting "Gamestop". His real mission was to get version 3 of starwars for video game, and upon leaving I left $70.00 US poorer for the game. Upon returning home I have seen major advertising of all star war games and products by Disney on all major television stations no doubt pushing the Christmas theme.
My question is "would I be too late for the toy game as there appears to be great margins in these products and children really do wish to have latest version of all products"
Could I have your opinion of my thinking, and if you like it what names would you recommend. I was thinking of Hasboro and Mattel.
Just a thought and thanks for your great help.

Rick

Q: Dear 5i,

Purchased these stocks prior to the recent correction. Is it time to add, hold or step aside for now? WFC & CSCO are full positions and the others are partial.

Thank you...Keith

Q: What are your feelings re this company, would you buy it here in anticipation of the release of the new toy lines. Thank you.

Q: As you casually suggested months ago as a U.S. opportunity.

PSEM was taken over Thursday at a 40%+ premium.

Thanks again for your advice.

Q: What are your top favourite US growth stocks that do not pay a dividend? Many thanks for your advice!
