Q: Hello 5i team,
In response to a fellow member question regarding MG and XTC, you seem to have classified them in the Industrials sector. I had my holdings in MG and LNR as Consumer Discretionary Cyclicals; even though they fit in both sectors, where would you place them?
Happy Easter

Q: Hello 5i
I plan on shifting a large sum of RRSP monies from my financial planner over to Questrade so i can manage it myself with the guidance of 5i Research of course .
Should i be concerned with the safety of these investments with Questrade in terms of account hacking etc via computer . Do brokerage companies generally have insurances for this type of thing ? I really don't want to be putting myself in a position of high risk unknowingly .
Thanks
Bill

Q: I don't know GSY at all and I am reluctant to invest in their wonderfully performing shares. OTOH , I hate to miss out on a great growth situation .Why do I think of them as a Usury business managing to barely operate within the consumer act ... Perhaps I am wrong . Are they no different than any bank or trust company ... ( except that they rent furniture ???? ) .

Q: Question on shares outstanding vs. the share float. You mention in a previous answer that GSY has 60% inside ownership, is there a site that gives this number or are you getting outstanding shares from google and the inside ownership from the annual meeting report? This report would show how many shares the directors currently have. I'm trying to calculate how to buy break a larger buy into pieces and have been using the average daily number of shares traded.
Thank you and Happy Easter.

Q: Hello;
I have full position of ZCL. I would like to take full positions in CCL.B and RPI.UN for 2 to 3 year horizon.

However, all of the above are in packaging industry. Is it advisable to put so much in one industry? Thanks.

Q: Hi, I want to Invest some of my cash outside of Canadian and US markets. I would appreciate if you can suggest a few markets with good valuations and potential. I do not want to pick individual stocks, but instead would buy an ETF.
Thanks

Q: Would it be possible to include whether the dividend of companies that you cover qualify for the dividend tax credit or contain foreign income or return of capital? This information is a lot harder to find on company websites than I thought it would be since I think is quite important information. I appreciate it might be hard to include provide this info for every question asked (thought it would be nice when the question does pertain specifically to the dividend) but the Reports should include it, I think. It may also help to cut down on the number of questions as to which account stocks should be held.

Thank you.
