Q: MU is down $1.24 to $42.75 as of Fri. Jan.19, 2018. It seems cheap at 6.5 times forward earnings & with a PEG of .34. I would like your opinion on buying a half position in this company. About an hour ago I asked another question re ORBK- Orbitech Ltd.& would appreciate comments on whether you would recommend either, both or neither of these companies as a half position?
Thanks, as always, for your great advice.

Q: Hi there,

I currently have a blend of your Balanced and Growth portfolio - mostly switching out the large, higher yielding names with small to mid cap growth names (which were suggested to me by your team in an earlier question). It has performed well in 2017 and I am happy with the results - however, my entire portfolio is TSX based. I am looking for diversification but don't want to sacrifice the growth tilt, which sometimes ETFs tend to lead to. Based on my existing holdings, which ETFs would you recommend that would be more growth tilted and add a broader global exposure? Also, what weighting would you consider making these holdings?

Thanks for your great service!

Q: Good day...I am in the process of moving money to the u.s as currency seems to be at the proper spot and also I have all of the balanced and income portfolio now, so my question is would I be better using etfs - MXI - SOXX - XLV and IYF or using ICHR - NVDA - ISRG - HD - JPM - V - HD AND DIS...my thoughts are this will give me diversification that I cannot achieve with 5i stocks...your direction has made a huge difference to my portfolio but I feel I need some geographic diversification ....I look forward to your answer and thanks...gene

Q: Can I get your assessment of this company in light of cannacord's recent endorsement as a promising stock for this year (being mindful that it's price jump today has breached the analysts' target price for the year) . Financial Post also noted that iAnthus' inclusion on the upcoming mjna growers index etf may impact its performance to the upside. Your valued thoughts pls

Q: Multiple questions:
According to my information 92 percent of Fortis’s revenue is from regulated sources. As such would increases in interest rates only effect the company in the short run as the increases in interest expense would eventually be passed on to the consumer when changes in the rate base are applied for by the company and granted by the regulators? This ignores the maturity date of the company’s debt and the fact that the rate base increase granted may be less than that applied for.
Not in your area of expertise but I would appreciate your opinion on state owned China Mobile (CHL: US) and Omega Healthcare (OHI: US) as to their suitability from a risk perspective for an income oriented retiree.
Thank you for considering these questions.
