Q: Hello Peter & Co,
I'm hanging on to FSV for a while longer until I decide what to do (keep FSV, keep CIG, keep both, sell both. A cursory comparison between the 2 divisions indicate that Colliers was more profitable in 2014 with EBITDA to Revenue ratio of 9.8% vs 7.5% for FSV; a hardly sufficient basis of comparison.
What intrigues me is your rational for shedding the old FSV a couple of months ago.
You're suggesting to hang on for a while longer; but how will one decide what to do next?
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
I am considering adding one of these two stocks, which are totally unrelated sector wise, for stable dividend growth and distribution with the potential for some capital growth. Which of the two would you lean towards and why?
Thanks as always for your help, Rick.

Q: Good afternoon Peter,
I have a niece who has $ 10k in her TFSA
She has a long term view 10 + years and is looking for growth.
What are your top 5 growth stocks ?
We are looking to invest the 10k in 5 equal weighted stocks.
The balance of her Investments are in a well balance ETF RRSP Portfolio, she is missing the growth portion.
Thanks to all your team.

Q: I have a question about mutual funds. I am looking at allocating a small portion of my portfolio to a mutual fund that performed very well in the first 3 months of the year (up 50%) and was at an all time high before pulling back. It is my understanding that annual performance fees are approximately 20% of profits beyond the permanent high-water mark. If I invest in this find today, after it has had its large gain, will I be subject to paying the massive performance fee despite the fact that I did missed the massive move to the upside? And is my understanding correct in that this fund will only take a an annual performance fee if it increases the high-water mark that year? Thanks

Q: Hi Guys, for a balance portfolio with a 5 year time frame, does trading BNS (2.5% weighting) or TD (3%) or POW (1%) for EFN make any sense? If so, should it be a full position?
thanks,
Jim

Q: Hi,
Great appearance on bnn!!
For a portfolio management approach I understand the importance of setting position limits being 5%, 10% and trimming positions if they breach a limit. However, holding a company for years can result in a position being 20% of a portfolio etc.
What argument can you make to sell or trim positions in a good company that pays a dividend of 4%+ but would be too large of a weighting your intended position limits.
Bottom line question: I know some people have a certain great stock that might be 20%+ in their portfolio. Those are difficult to sell/trim when they pay a nice dividend too.
Thanks

Q: Last question on this company was in Jan. 2015. Can you explain the last quarter as I am confused as to what was reported?
5i has provided the best advice I have had in my 40+ years of investing.

Q: Any comments or updates regarding the split? Continue to hold both until future numbers come out?
Q: I have a position in ARX that I have held for many years and is now down 8% excluding the dividend. 5i seems to really like WCP and I was wondering if I should switch out of ARX into WCP? Could you compare the the two? Is the switch worthwhile?
