Q: Hello 5i team,
You have rated THI B+ in the fall of 2012. I am however watching the stock price break the 200 day m.a. for the last week or so; what would be the catalyst that would drive it back up?
Thanks,
Tony
Q: In response to James,
A LIF is essentially a RRIF, so if James is 65 years of age before the end of the year, his RRIF withdrawal in that year would qualify as "eligible pension income" that can be split with his spouse on his tax return

Q: Re James question about splitting income from a LIF...the following is from CRA's website:
What is eligible pension income?
Eligible pension income is generally the total of the following amounts received by the pensioner in the year (these amounts also qualify for the pension income amount):
the taxable part of life annuity payments from a superannuation or pension fund or plan; and
if they are received as a result of the death of a spouse or common-law partner, or if the pensioner is 65 years of age or older at the end of the year:
annuity and registered retirement income fund (including life income fund) payments; and
registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) annuity payments.

Philip Morris, PM on the NYSE, is listed by Morningstar as having a P/B value of -17.1. Can you tell me how that's possible with a company like this, and could you expand a bit and give me your take on the stock at current prices.

Q: I believe that there is a place for physical gold in today's markets. Gold has been a loser for the last couple of years, but I do believe it'll come back at some point.
What is your stance on this? And what are you looking for as an investor to know when the tides have turned and gold is on an uptrend?

Q: Re whether CSU may split to make it more accessible to retail investors, TD Waterhouse on line has had no problems buying the stock for me in very small amounts with a broker fee of 9.99 per order.
Q: Hello 5i
I have a small amount of $6000 left to invest in what I believe to be a balanced portfolio. I am trying to decide between vrx & csu although the higher stock cost vs the small amount of money seems silly. Would you pick either of these for growth or would there be a better choice for this amount of cash.
