Thank you Always appreciate your time

Q: Regarding the above companies, do you see any short term catalysts or is a modicum patience required? I know I Just answered the question.
I deployed my available cash on the dips and am hopeful of a return back to the prices before the dips.
While I know averaging down is not the smartest strategy, it was too hard to resist.
I took a chance on ATD on the dip and it went well. Now I think I am brilliant. Will one ever learn not to try and outguess the market?
Thanks for the sage advise over the last two years!
I eagerly await the new selections for the growth portfolio!
Finall, my wife has just retired and has a LIRA setup. The Company that is handling it scrapes off approximately $600 a month to administer it. She is not drawing on it until we are both retired. I would like to invest it based on the recommendations from 5i. We have a 5 year timeline until I am retired with a DB pension. Do you recommend the income portfolio, or a blend of all three folio’s, or to remain in the global balanced fund paying fees?
Beat Regards,
KC

Q: A wildfire does not "burn" all trees, they will be cut no matter how they will sale, probably adding pressure to prices. I think we have seen this scenario with the beetles a few years ago.
I am right?

Q: I purchased a 1/2 position in WEF a month ago, and I am now down 10%. I haven't seen any reports from any of the forestry sectors, about how the wild fires have affected production. Have there been any?
Thank you so much, Susan

Q: Hello,
I have held WEF for sometime and am up nicely despite decline. I have room to add to my position without compromising balance and wonder if you like it hear? It seems to be under performing WFT, IFP, CFP ...any explanation as to why?
Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i - I dont have much exposure to materials in my portfolio. Should I add to my 2% position in WEF or is there another stock you prefer at the moment? Thanks, Neil
Q: Hey guys, really enjoyed Peter on BNN the other day. Loved the bit about CEOs being psychopaths, that was hilarious! Always nice to see a bit of light hearted humor these days.
Anyways, I bought into TSGI and WEF in the last couple of months. Unfortunately they've gone straight down! They're both down around 12% from where I bought them. I'm not a short term guy but I'm just curious if you still think that they have a good long term view. Thanks for all your great advice over the years.

Q: Hi Peter,
I am considering taking a small position in wef and zcl. Recently, both stocks have been in a downward trend. Would this be a good time to start acquiring these stocks or should I wait?
Looking forward to hearing your opinion.

Q: Re OSB announcing a "dividend of $4.5/share to shareholders of record Sept 1"
....I can't tell whether that is meant to be an ANNUAL or ONE TIME dividend?
.. Are you able to clarify?
Also, could you please comment on the listed stocks...which do you hold most favourable and why, also the suitability of purchase of any of these NOW
Thank-you

Q: Hello,
Current portfolio is well balanced. Two sectors that are eligible for tops ups are materials and consumer discretionary. If you had to pick between wef and cliq for a long term hold, which would you choose to buy first?

Robert

Q: Howdy!
I am slowly repositioning the Canadian equity portion of my RRSP portfolio to emulate your Balanced Equity Portfolio.
About 27% of my portfolio is sitting on cash right now; I do not yet own the listed companies - Are they all good to buy today? Or please rank them in order of value for purchase today versus perhaps holding off a quarter or two.
Thank you
