Q: Peter - would be great to hear about your thoughts on emera. As the FED looks to move over the next few months where could this take the emera stock price. I've had some reasonable gains and wonder if I should take profit and run. thx Steve

Q: I like the price chart for Brick Brewing (as well as their products :). Their stock took a 6% hit today on medium volume - can you tell me why?
Looking at their price chart for the last 6 months I see a lot of similar "down" days, which are usually followed by a quick recovery within a few days. What is going on here?
The stock has had a nice runup over the last 12 months - up about 80% at present. Do you see this stock as a Buy, Sell, or Hold, and over what timeframe?
Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i,
I just read an article explaining how oil exploration has been at its lowest point in 60 years for the last 2-3 years. With demand forecasted to continue growing it would stand to reason that this will lead to a shortage and price increase. Beyond broad market etfs, I don't have any energy exposure. What would you recommend as a good long term way to get this sector into my portfolio?
Thanks!

Q: BHP Billiton made a bid for Potash a few years back at over $100 a share. Has the share count changed since that bid? Uf the rumour is true is it possible that BHP Billiton would get involved again. What is a reasonable price to pay to buy Potash that would be acceptable to shareholders?
Q: (MISC) Aug 30/16 ? asked by Anthony:
As noted stop loss orders don't always work.
To limit fill losses enter 'stop loss with stop limit' orders rather than 'stop loss' orders. You also enter buy orders with a 'buy on stop with stop limit' order.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,
CLF offers a better rate of return than GICs, about 3% from what I can determine. What are the risks of parking a lot of cash in that ETF, more than 100 000$?
Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hello 5i,
I could not locate past Q&A on FEYE however it was there some time ago (perhaps before the rollout of the revised format). I tried the symbol and text fields, however no joy.

Q: Hi,
I would like your opinion on whether holding the banks are sufficient for financial exposure. I am debating selling some of the Canadian banks and go into a life insurer like Sun Life. Do you feel its warranted to own both a bank and lifeco or do I have enough exposure holding just the banks. Thanks.

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on the rumored merger of AGU & POT as reported this morning on BNN (Aug 30th).
Any recommendations on how to proceed (assuming one does not currently hold either company) but would be willing to open a position depending on your opinion.
Thanks in advance,
Scot

Q: I have 73 % of my investment portfolio in stocks. I'm 80+ years of age and have not need for income from the portfolio; it will be transferred to a future generation. My advisor recommends reducing the stock component to 60 %. He suggests purchasing large amounts of Manulife Global Tactical Credit Fund & Manulife Asia Total Return Bond Fund. Please provide me with a critical review of those funds. Do you have other suggestions in the fixed income area?

Q: Good morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
In today's answer to Adam about DRIPs (SIS in particular), you told him that "on a portfolio basis, we would just never get into a situation where you need to sell something to generate cash". Is it appropriate to sell part of a stock or ETF to raise cash if you're doing it for portfolio balancing? Or is this a dangerous strategy that could backfire if the market takes a nose-dive? I'm presently in a situation like this in my RRIF, which is well-balanced using mostly 5i recommendations, plus some fixed-income ETFs.
Thanks as always for your timely advice.

Q: Hi Team
I hold about 16% U.S. stocks in U.S. dollars. I am also well balanced, holding many within your 3 PFs (mostly the Balanced PF). I am thinking of buying ULTA with new US$ (1.25%). The stock is down about 6% or so in the last week. The only news I find is that ULTA is aligning with the Proactive product, which I would have thought would cause an uptick. Do you feel this is a good time to buy? Or is there a problem with ULTA?
I'm so very glad I joined in early 2014. What a difference you guys have made!!!
