Q: I know that you like Stantec as a good, solid performer. I own both Stantec and WSP Global, 4% each. My other holding in industrials is CNR, at 8%. (it's grown nicely and am loathe to part with it yet.) My question is: how do you think Industrials will perform in this environment. Seems like Stantec has been taking a rest for a while. I was thinking of switching Stantec for CGI group, which would increase my holdings in Technology to about 19%. I'm looking for a good company with a bit more "ooomph" in it right now, regardless of sector, but CGI's growth appeals to me. Your comments are always valued.

Q: Hello Peter and the 5i Team,
My wife's TFSA consists of AP.UN, DH, and KBL. There's also a small amount of CDZ where accumulated cash is deposited. Both AP.UN and DH are enrolled in DRIP's. For this year's contribution, we are considering either CXI or DHX.B. Given that DHX Media pays a small dividend and has a DRIP that gives a 3% discount, but CXI 'might' have higher growth (with no dividend) which stock would you think would be the best for this year?

Q: Air Canada has had a strongly negative day for a stock in an uptrend and one explanation I have read is in connection with the Government interest rate reduction. Is this a valid concern and will it effect the stock price even more?
Q: BCE and BAM have been going up lately. I am up quite a bit on both. The PE of BCE is quite high. Do you think it is time to trim it and pick it up when it goes down or use the proceeds to buy Rogers? What would your view be on Brookfield Asset Management. Thanks very much.
Q: how do you apply sector designations to some etf's that cross many sectors; eg xcs or even xhy and xlv (health)

Q: STB - I know it's not a strong Balance Sheet - too much debt, etc. etc. but it has given my wife nearly 8% for over 3 yrs.& that huge French transportation co. has kept buying 95,000 shares per month for over 18 months. I can't find out anything else - can you?!

Q: Hi,
Just a question on Chesswood in light of the new CDN interest rate cuts-
Chesswood reports in CDN though it does much business in the US, and
it is interest rate sensitive, with a high dividend- with all of these now positive factors in mind, why is the stock still struggling? Seems like a no brainer purchase.
Thanks for your input.

Q: I have recently opened a TFSA for my girlfriend that I will be managing. I have it fully funded roughly $35,000 all in cash. I would like to build a high growth portfolio. We are in our mid 20's so risk and timeline are not an issue. Just wondering if you could give me a list of 5 names that you would start out with. Thanks

Q: Good Morning
Can you please tell me whether the following three securities are classified as foreign income and whether they have to be reported on Form T1135 ?
ALA.PR.U ENB.PR.U and 5.8% Brookfield Asset Management Bond maturing in 2017. The first two are preferred shares traded in the Toronto Stock Exchange in US dollars. The Brookfield bond is also in US dollars. All three securities are held in a US account with a Canadian Discount Broker in Ontario. The Discount broker reports the income of these securities annually on T3s and T5s.
If they are classified as foreign income, do we still have to report them on Form T1135, even if our foreign property was less than $100,000 in the preceding year?
Thank you for your advice.

Q: With the strength in the USD would it not be wiser to invest in mid/smaller cap US equities since they have less FX exposure. What do you think of VUS?
Thank-you.
Thank-you.
