Q: I purchased Altagas subscription recipts when you provided the info about a buying opportunity. How long would you suggest holding this for the objectives to materialise. I am in no hurry to sell this but just wanted to know. Thanks again for your excellent service.

Q: My son is diligently saving to purchase a house and currently is taking advantage of the benefits of a TFSA. I have mentioned that he should also consider opening an RRSP to take advantage of their home buyers plan. He can contribute an extra $15k and get an additional 35% tax refund. He has about a 4-5 year time horizon before he needs the money. Is this sound advice? Can you recommend what stocks he should consider?
Thank you
Q: Was D-Box dropped from the growth portfolio as a result of a specific event or news release? I.e., why not wait for the next earnings release to make a decision?
Q: I would like to know how I can unprotect the Excel file on the model portfolio. Some cells appear with #### because the number is exceeding the width of the column. I would need the protection password for the file please.
Thank you

Q: Hi 5i,
Just wondering if you knew how PKI's share offering was moving along? Do you know if it was well received, or was it under subscribed? I'm wondering if the share price will drop after the closing date and if I could get a better price on it.
Q: I have emulated the Balanced Equity portfolio as much as possible but the proportions don't max exactly. PBH and KXS are not yet at the 6% level (close) so I did not re-balance. Trust this in line with your thinking.
BTW...April numbers in my three trading accounts are: +1.54, +3.1 and +2.14. And my TFSA, begun in January, 2015, is almost doubled. Thanks for your genius. I tend to think of all three accounts as a single portfolio but iTrade can't combine them.
Q: In a response to SIS' recent acquisition, you noted it was "30% accretive to financial metrics". I've seen a similar term used in other responses regarding acquisitions. What exactly does this mean, and what amount of "accretion" is considered good in an acquisition? Thanks
