Q: My question is about vvi-viad corporation. This is the owner of Brewster travels..which is running an extremely profitable operation, which I experienced first hand during my recent visit to the Rockies. What do you think about this company, is this one to consider adding to my Us portfolio? Thanks very much.

Q: Good Morning 5i,

I am looking to replace my shares in Bank of America ( BAC). I have held it in my US account now for more than 2 years, and it really has done nothing, it has actually in that span of time gone down in value. No growth what so ever.

I realize the US market isn't your field of expertise, but i thought you would know of a US Financial ( including Investment banks), possibly something smaller and more Regional that looks good going forward that pays a small dividend, and has good growth prospects?

Thanks,

Stephen

Q: This company doesn't appear in the drop down menu, for obvious reasons, since it's a US company. Notwithstanding that you do not cover the US, I've come to value 5I's opinion on all my stocks. What are your thoughts on Tenneco on the NYSE, symbol TEN? I'm considering it for a medium to long term hold as I'm intrigued, and hopeful of its premise re: providing clean air ride technology. It would seem to me it should be a no-brainer, given our environmental concerns. Do you agree ...or are there better ones in this space, either in the US or Canada? Thanks!

Q: Would you sell at the current price which is about the offer price of $56.25 and redeploy or hold and see if richer deal comes in?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I realize you do not cover USA stocks but I thought this would be an easy question for you. Relm Wireless Inc has requested to put 7 members on Iteris board of directors.
Iteris stock has spiked forward. Does this mean that a take over or merger is possible. If so would Iteris benefit. Therefore better to wait awhile before selling?
Thanks for your assistance...great as usual!

Q: Should I continue holding Harmony Gold Mining or take my profit and run? I know that it has more risk the AEG or GLD, but it has a good trend right now.

Should I let it run, or take some profits? You have said before that Gold is insurance, and now that insurance is paying off. When is the right time to cash in, and should profits be put back into gold?

HMY is currently 4.5% of my overall portfolio, and that and Alacer (1%) are my only two gold holdings.

Q: I own HEWJ and ZDM as my International exposure (5% of my portolio). Neither are doing well, especially after the Brexit vote and I'd like to replace them with ETFs with a more positive outlook for the next 2-3 years. Your thoughts and recommendations please!

Q: I presently do not have any investments in US stock and am strongly considering changing that. I am currently watching the following US stocks and would appreciate your opinion on my selection..Apple, GE, Gilead, Wells fargo, Walt Disney,Honeywell and Canadian Solar. How would you rank them and are there other US stock that you would suggest I consider. Are there any in my list that you would not recommend. My investment goals are probably typical. I am looking for dividend income and growth over a 2/3 year period.

Q: Hello 5i team,
Although 5i Research does not follow normally US Companies I wonder if you have an opinion about Equinix a US Company that operates interconnected data centers across the globe. (EQIX) The share price has quadrupled since 2012 it seems to be in the right space benefiting immensely from Cloud Computing but it has a very high P/E multiple (289 according to www.theglobeandmail/globe-investor).

Thanks

Q: In these financial stocks I am currently up on PRU but down 13% with JPM and it looks as if these dollars are probably dead money for the next 6 to 18 months. I would like to reallocate the funds from one of them to the Staples or Industrials sectors. What are your thoughts on this? Which holding should be better to reduce, or sell completely, and would you have a preference for a reallocation at this time? Thanks.
