Q: What are you thoughts on eBay? How how much do you think can be unlocked by the split of eBay and PayPal?

Q: I'm looking at ETFs for a "couch potato" approach to my RRSP acount so I can focus on my much larger non-registered trading account. I tend to follow the latter and forget about the RRSP account so it always underperforms. I want to have exposure to the S&P500 mainly for diversification and I'm looking at Vanguards ETF VFV. Do you think this a good fit or should I be looking at a different product(s)?

Q: Hi Guys, your thoughts on QCOM, I have held it in a non registered account for about 1 year, I'm basically flat. Should I keep it or move on?
thanks

Q: Would comment on AAPL's & Netflix'x latest earnings and where you see the stocks going from here.
Tks

Q: I've held this one for quite a while, I have good gains from it, it keeps beating its quartley numbers. Do you think that it is expensive or does its growth justify its p/e.

Q: The stock gets slammed the day a court decision goes against it and now the next day it has recouped much of those losses. In a situation like this, do you rely on the "street" to get it right and seemingly ignore the litigation in this case? I had wanted to buy this stock. Or should I just move on to the next one?

Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and team, could I get your opinion on OC at this time?
Does it control the lion's share in the insulation business and should it fly as the U.S. moves ahead in rebuilding?

Thanks Jon

Q: Hi Peter and team,

What do you think of IBM after the recent big drop in its share price?

Q: Hi the GREAT Team,

Which of the following has the greatest growth potential in the short term (1 year): SWKS-Q, MU-Q, Or FB-Q.

All 3 seem to show a lot of insider selling. Is this cause for concern prior to upcoming earnings report release by each company? Which one do you recommend?

I have some US dollar to spend and I wonder if I should choose TRN, in the light of the drop yesterday,for the same kind of growth potential and far less volatility.

In tech stocks I already have shares of: CSU, DHX, AVO, BIDU, NXPI, DDD, AYA, FEYE,CMI,QIHU,PHO. I have fewer shares in industrial stocks: Boeing, TSLA, and Kelso,MX.

Thanks a million for putting me out of my misery in making this decision.

Q: TRN got slammed after losing a court case and I'm down 12% in a day. Should I hold on or get out?

Q: After the verdict against the company today, and the potential liability of $1 billion, do you think it is wise to hold on or cut my losses first thing tomorrow morning? I am already underwater 20% as of close

Q: Do you have any preferences/comments for the cybersecurity space looking at medium term growth (ie 5 to 10 years)? The leading names appear to be in the US (ie Intel, Cisco, IBM) and then there are the most recent names - PANW and FEY-Q.

thank you,
Janice

Q: The recent pullback has resulted in a 28 per cent drop following robust growth in the past year or so. I am pondering another purchase at these attractive levels, but would appreciate your input prior to doing so. Many thanks for the team's insight.

Q: Hi, What do you think of Pfizer? I have a partial position in my dividend fund RSP. Do I top it up or is there a better company in the sector? Jeff

Q: I have had a half position in Molson Coors for about a year and have done very well. With this pull back should I buy the other half, or is there a better company in the sector? This is in my growth portfolio. Jeff

Q: Following up on your comment to Gord today: "It is very unlikely that 5i will report on US stocks. One problem is simply finding staff with experience in the US markets that are willing to commit to no trading", would you be open to the idea of creating a US stock research section where the analysts allowed to hold U.S. securities but must fully disclose them?
I'm pretty sure most 5i Research members are astute enough to discern the difference between objective commentary and biased, self-serving opinion. Moreover, you could institute very strict guidelines for making stock recommendations that would address possible biases.
I have made a lot of effort in the past few years to diversify worldwide (U.S. 40%, Europe 20%) but it's awfully hard to find good, objective information on foreign companies.

Q: 5I Team,

I would appreciate getting your view on North Atlantic Drilling Ltd (NADL). The share price has really been hammered in the recent correction and I'm wondering if now is a good entry point and whether the yield is too high to be sustainable.

Thanks,
Scott
