Q: Hello 5i,
I have 2 stocks that are near 52 week highs, but have concerns about.

1) Chr.b Chorus Aviation, I am concerned that they rely on Air Canada for business and should AC decide to go with another carrier or fly these routes themselves it would ruin Chorus.

2) Win.US, Windstream Holdings, there is always concern that they will not be able to maintain the current dividend ($ 1.00 per year)because they have too much debt and declining revenues.

Are my concerns warranted? Would you hold or sell these stocks?

Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and team

My portfolio is large enough so that getting any foreign diversification leads me to exceed the $100K limit the CRA applies for tax reporting of foreign holdings. I don't want to be involved with completion of the T1135 form. Is there any way I can get this diversification by means of ETFs without triggering the requirement to complete the T1135?

Thanks

Quick thoughts on Republic Airways Holding, RJET.US

Q: I'm the type of investor who looks for stocks of good companies that have hit a rough patch and that everybody avoids as a result. I'm inclined to think that Whole Foods Market (WFM) is just such a company. It continues to generate higher and higher revenues and profits. Yet, its share price has fallen considerably and its P/E ratio is now around 27 (compared to the high thirties last year). Have your thoughts about the company changed since your comment last November?

Q: re: TWX Time Warner

got online today and have seen a 15% increase. The only thing I can see in the news is TWX CEO Bewkes officially rejecting the offer from 21st Century Fox.

Is there any other news you have that accounts for such a significant jump?

Thanks for all you do for all of us
