Q: Greetings 5i team: Could you please comment on the above stocks with respect to their current versus historical valuations? I guess I am trying to gauge the extent(if at all)their share price is being "propped up" by their yield. I think I know the sectors that are considered most vulnerable to interest rate increases, but do any companies jump to mind that could be more negatively affected than their peers, particularly if rates rose faster than the market anticipates or for the wrong reasons, i.e. inflation versus economic growth? Thank you and best wishes,

Q: Hello 5i and we wish all the best in the holidays for you.
We plan to buy a tech stock. We are retired and conservative, although with a certain percentage of some safer growth stocks.

We are impressed that Warren Buffett ventured into the tech field by buying Apple and wonder whether we should follow suit.

But we are also looking at Google and are wondering whether it may have a better future.

We would appreciate your thoughts on which one you think might be the best buy right now.
thanks

Q: A few days ago it was announced that the go ahead for Argonaut Gold's San Antonio project had been declined by the authorities. According to one report this should not materially affect their production. Am just wondering what your feeling is about this event. Also do you have any other updates on the existing production and exploration potential of the company. The price has dropped substantially and I am considering buying more. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I find that we need to buy some more in the Utilities sector, to keep to a 10% weighting. We presently have about a three-quarter position in each of AQN, BEP.UN, and FTS. Do you think that INE would be a good addition to this mix or is it too similar to AQN and BEP.UN? We can buy and sell XUT commission-free, but I notice that ZUT (not commission-free) has a better chart. Should I increase our positions in each of the three we already have, buy a new one, or top up with XUT/ZUT? Or is there a US ETF in this sector that looks compelling? Or perhaps in the present "climate", could the utilities sector weighting be reduced below 10%? What sector should take up the slack?

Thanks for all your great advice which has been and continues to be very valuable. A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you at 5i and the members as well.

Q: Good morning Peter, I purchased PUR in early August based on your company report and have watched it steadily decline 21% since. I know you continue to recommend this as a growth stock with risk, while stressing the need for a long term hold. It seems I've got the risk side covered, so my question is whether you have changed your position about the growth potential. I can wait on this stock and will hang in there if warranted. What are your thoughts? As always, I appreciate your invaluable advice.
