Q: RY.PR.R - I am up on this reset pref and the first YTC is now ~3.3%.
Do you have any sense of whether it will be called or reset.
If it is reset I am happy to hold, otherwise I would move on to a higher yield.

Q: Hi,
Happy New Year. Can you comment on the recent appointment of Michael Medline to CEO of Empire Co? I'm interested in his reputation, your thoughts on his ability to execute a turnaround at EMP, and what a realistic timeline might be to steer a large complex retailer back on track? Thx!

Q: I am considering consolidating at least one of my tech stocks as some seem to be in similar businesses. Which tech stock of the above would you recommend to sell at this time. If something is sold, which one might you recommend to buy more. Or just best to do nothing. I have about 2% - 2.5% of my total equity portfolio in each. Thanks.
Q: I am fine with my weighting in the Energy Sector and rebalance at least bi-monthly.
Within the energy sector I have the following weighting in dollars:
WCP 30K
PKI 105K
TOU 72K
VET 11K
PPY 9.2K
PEY 10K
Since I am losing the most from initial buying price in TOU as I have had it for some time, and it provides no dividend.. and seems not to be anyone's favourite, would you suggest selling any of the above such as TOU and buying more of the other?

Q: Hi Folks! So many thanks for the great work that you're doing. Any update you could please provide on HealthSpace Trading Symbol: HS on The CSE would be well received. I've been following this company for several months now and they seem to be doing some great things and executing their strategy. I've been trading its volatility and, so far, have done really well.

Q: Two Questions:
1. I am overweight in these 3 pipeline/utilties due to run of share prices, ala,ipl and ppl should I trimm back all 3 or sell one, if you were to sell one which would it be?
2, With the recent sell off in energy stocks Vermillion is holding up better than most especially compared to similar companies such as Esso and Exxon, is this another sign of what a good core position Vermillion is or should we expect Vermillion to decline?
Thanks again for the great valuable source 5i provides.

Q: Good morning<
Looking for your opinion on Vanguard US Financials ( VFH)- seems to have a lower MER than the "i shares" version (IYF), which I believe is your primary vehicle for this sector. Can you help differentiate ?
With thanks
