Q: I have a position in Potash as well as a somewhat larger position in Agrium. My thinking on Potash was long term growth as well as the dividend. I will keep the Agrium but thinking of switching from Potash to a better growth/dividend long term hold. Would you think Cineplex fits this or perhaps another suggestion.

Q: Hello 5i,
My question relates to asset allocation (between fixed income and equities) etc.
There are a variety of suggested formulas for determining how this allocation
should be made, most based on factors like age, health, income etc.
Examples include (100 - age = % to allocate to stocks) or
(age x decimal of age = % to allocate to fixed income). There are many others too.
My questions are :
1. Is there a formula that you would recommend
2. In a situation where a couple have non-registered Joint CA$ and Joint US$ accounts,
as well as separate RRSP accounts, should this allocation be applied to each of these accounts,
(or only at the total of all accounts level).
And for the non-reg. Joint accounts, how would you handle an age difference of > 6 years ?
Thanks very much, your advice is greatly appreciated.

Q: re. Baylin Technologies (BAY-T)
Do you have and more recent thoughts or insights about this co.? The stock price has settled into a tight range a bit below the IPO. I see that there are two recent analyst reports: Raymond James has an Outperform rating with a price target of $9.00 and Paradigm Capital has a Buy rating with a target of $13.00. How much credence do you give to these reports? Do these firms have some vested interests?
Thanks for your input and advise.

Q: Good morning. Re: OSK Osisko.
OSK at a $9 cost basis is my only gold stock.. It now appears likely that no other bidders will emerge - would you agree with selling OSK at current bid price and buying Goldcorp? (I hate gold stocks)

Q: Hi Peter and Team!
As a new member, I have a couple of general questions. Often your members comment on how well they've done thanks to your recommendations. I'm not sure if your actual recommendations are limited to the A and B rated stocks in the model portfolio and the 5i reports. Or, when you comment favourably upon stocks that members have asked about, can these also be considered recommendations?
Also, people refer to "full positions", or "half positions". Could you explain?
And lastly, for sector classification, would you say TRP and IPL are energy or utilities?
Thanks so much!
