Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i,

I'm thinking on adding ZWH 5%-10% to my RRSP to cover my US exposure. This is for a income portfolio.
My portfolio now consist of 50% GIC's and
5% in each of the following stock.. BNS,EMA,ECI,ENB,SRU.UN,BCE.
10% in CDV.
Can you suggest another ETF that would fit better then ZWH? Or would you consider ZWU a better position. I see 5i income portfolio doesn't have any US equity holdings.
Would the US dividend be tax excempt within the ETF?

I look foreward to your answers.
Thank for all the excellent info!!

Q: Hi 5iR Team, With both KXS and SHOP you identified these stocks in their early stages, put them on your radar and finally incorporated them in your investor portfolios. They both have been blockbuster stocks and I feel fortunate to have them in my portfolio. Thank you 5iR.
We are all "seeking alpha" seeking potential stocks with upside velocity. Do you have another SHOP on your radar? A stock not yet in your portfolios but ready to be listed. A stock the team just feels, yes, these guys are in the right space, doing the right thing at the right time. We are buyers! I know Peter really likes GUD and I own some but..............Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks again for your superlative work...you set a high bar 5iR. Chris

Q: This is not a question per say but a large thank you to you and your staff...we have been investing since 2006 and have been members for 2 years or a little more ...we are invested fully in the balanced portfolio with some of the dividend portfolio (approximately half) and five from the growth portfolio...the education that you have provided through answering questions and email updates have done more for us than all of the other avenues we have taken during our investing time...we were thrown into it when we elected to take a c.v. from our pension plan and up to that time had not had anything to do with investing but were led to your company thru BNN and your appearances...so thank you again and keep up the good work you are changing peoples lives....gene

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I see that CDI is being bought out by AEI...a private company... for $8.25 per share. So please explain what this means for CDI. Will they keep there name and become an affiliate or just become AEI? I believe AEI is a private company...if so does that mean CDI will no longer be traded on the exchange? One last question...the board seems pleased with this merger...will CDI have any ability to move higher than $8.25 in the next year...time to sell or better hold for awhile? I am perplexed...
Thanks!

Q: I own no real estate but would like some exposure, other than reits how might you play that sector?

More growth than yield plays -

Q: I see freshii is at an all time low today. Do you happen to know what their projected growth is for new stores, cash flow, sales and eps? It seams to me they have a great opportunity to expand. I don't have much knowledge on Ipo's. Is there a period that those that got them aren't allowed to sell? If so when are people allowed to sell their freshii ipo shares? Since the price is below the Ipo price do you see this negatively affecting the price. Probably creating a buying opportunity in the near future?

Q: GUD. GUD is pretty cheap. Good time to increase the number of shares ?

Q: There is a good article in the Financial post on Johnathon Ross Goodman who runs GUD. If you could link it to this note it would give the readers a better understanding of what GUD does and where it sees itself going.
