Q: Hi, This is a question which I would open up to members..Is there any portfolio website or tool out there which generates the past performance, p/e and other statistics of a hypothetical portfolio which is a mix of stocks, bonds and etfs? Various combinations of stocks and ETF and bonds may be in this portfolio each with a different percentage?Thanks. Shyam

Q: I have been following news releases from this company for about six months and noticed that the last question posed to, and response from, 5i was back on Feb 11, 2014. Things appear to be looking up (pun) since then in terms of landing (another pun) a couple of orders, one from Lockheed Martin (aircraft mfger). Is it time to re-consider this speculative investment? The sky would appear to be the limit. Your thoughts please.

Q: Good Afternoon.

I am more than confused about this fund. Could you shed any light on why it would trade so much lower than its NAV? Based on earlier comments by you, I have a better understanding why it would be recommended by an IA but am pleased to hear that you like the managers. Could you also let me know if the fund is redeemable once a year or once a month? It looks like I may be holding it for the long term now and should enjoy the dividend, which hopefully continues.

Q: Hi team.
I have been following the recent debacle in this company and am aware that market sentiment is negative.However,looks like the fundamentals are strong ,management has proven itself in the past,and the company is poised to grow and turn a profit in 2016.Is this a value trap at these levels or a great buy due to "irrational" behaviour from sellers.When would be a strong signal to BUY?
many thanks,
Jean C.

Q: Would you please provide your favourite 5-10 health care stocks? I have US dollars so that would be my preferable currency but can certainly convert some to CAD. Would you also list them in risk order with the least risky first? ETFs are fine as well. Thank you.

Q: I own shares in Strad Energy Services. As you know Total Energy was in the process of making a takeover bid for their shares at $2.90 per share with 35 day expiry date. Strad in turn adopted a poison pill making any bid open for 120 days. Total Energy then said that they will not pursue a takeover bid. Based on your experience do you think there is a high likelihood that another bid may be coming? Is a 35 day expiry date reasonable? Was 120 days excessive? What would you recommend doing at this time?

Q: Your thoughts on the news today and their plans.

Q: I currently own CNQ with an approx -30% unrealized loss. Was wondering about realizing that loss and simply keeping my energy exposure (only 1 name) by using sale proceeds to buy Suncor. Would you recommend this switch? The goal is to participate in energy sector (only 5% weight) with an added benefit of realizing a tax loss. But if best way to earn my money back in via another blue chipper energy name then that's ok to do as well.But if they are likely to move lock step then why not take the tax loss (rhetorical!!)?
Many thanks as always!
