Q: I'm one of those unlucky souls that happens to own both AD and DH. With tax loss selling already upon us, which one would you recommend to dump first (i.e., the Trump or Hilary dilemma)?

Q: What is your opinion on Chorus? It pays a great dividend, has been consistently profitable and it's CPA with Air Canada runs on the same terms until 2020. Looks like a buy to me.
Q: I am thinking of investing in this etf for my fixed income portfolio for about 50% of that asset allocation, the other 50% is made of preffered reset and vab
Q: Can you give me you opinion on AFN, looks to be rising steady, has a nice dividend, impact of a rising US dollar would be positive. Thank you.
Q: In an Investment Brief from ARC they outline their concerns regarding BCE and its' payout ratio. Specifically they feel that if the Special Annual Pension Contribution and M+A expenses were deducted from Free Cash Flow then the payout ratio would be in the 84%-88% range (rather than the stated 69%-72% range). This may limit the ability to continue to grow dividends.
Should this be something to be concerned about? It is currently about a 2.5% weighting in my portfolio. If I were to exit BCE, either partially or completely, would Telus be the only real alternative in the space?
Thanks for your wonderful service.

Q: Some information I learned from my broker last Friday while asking them about the status of the exchangeable shares: (A) the process has multiple steps and the shares had just been "released". If I understood correctly, this is the last step of the process (B) Broker says many shareholders called Wednesday/Thursday/Friday to cancel the tender, finding the process confusing.
Q: As a senior retired investor I have most of your Income Portfolio and BE Portfolio. My question is about my fixed part. I had some bonds come due and also some GICs. Since the rates are so low I am at a loss to know where to put the fixed part of my portfolio. I am tempted to just buy something like BCE and Fortis and let them collect dividends, which is more tax efficient. I understand these are still stocks and not fixed income. Your suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks
Q: We depend on dividends for half of our income so I would like to get your take on SPB. BNN gives it 3 strong buys, 2 buys and 1 hold, while BMO gives it 4*, 3 buys, yet ranks it as overvalued and bearish. I'm thinking of 1500 shares for a half position. Opinion please. Thanks - ted
Q: Hi Folks! Thanks so very much for the comments about TPK today. Please provide your perceptions about the run up in TPK from $6.90 - $8.09 on massive volume during the period of 19th of September - 27th September 2016. Could the explanation be, perhaps, of institutional accumulation?

Q: The portfolio review report that you did for me has two Consumer Sectors i.e., Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples.
Your 5i Coverage Reports uses these two terms: Consumer Cyclic and Consumer Non-cyclic. Can you explain why different terms are used? Is Consumer Non-cyclic the same as Consumer Staples?

Q: You recently answered a question on DH's current debt (short and long), outstanding debentures and cash on hand (see below). Where can I find this information on DH and other companies myself? Thank you.
5i Research Answer:
DH has $80 million in current loans, $1.4 billion on long term loans and $428 million in convertible debentures. There is $48 million in cash as well. DH did address the debt, and it is a priory in terms of trying to pay it down as much and as fast as possible.

Q: What's your thoughts about the pre lim numbers, would it be a good time to get in?
Q: Hi Team,
If GUD does purchase Paladin, would that likely lead to GUD going from being equity concentrated and cash rich to being diluted or taking on significant debt with lower levels of cash? I am assuming ENDO would only want a cash deal given it's high debt levels. GUD would have to issue debt or equity presumably to close a deal.
Thank you, Michael

Q: My 25 year old Son started a new job with a group retirement or savings plan, the plan suggests for an aggressive investor; 60% Canadian, 25% foreign and 15% specialty equities. They offer asset Allocation Funds, for instance the Aggressive Growth has a 10 year return of 6.24% with an MER of 2.018, also several individual Funds like the True North Fund (Fidelity) with a 10 year return of 8.3% with a MER of 2.313% The other managers of individual funds are; GWLIM, Mackenzie, Beutel Goodman Montrusco. I,'d appreciate 5i's opinion on what advice to give a young investor on how to pick from the limited options all of which have 2% + MER fees.
