Q: Hi Peter.

Quick question on currency. I own AGNC T(AT&T) BTE CNK DD(Dupont) JNJ PKO SBUX & SPH all in US funds. I bought all when cdn dollar was at par or better. I am at a profit for all stocks except for BTE SPH and AGNC. When you take into account currency I am in the green on all the stocks. My question is at what point if there is a point do you sell them all and convert back to canadian? For example lets hypothetically say the cdn dollar went to 0.72 cents vs the us? Would you sell all these stock to lock in currency gain or keep stocks?

Q: Hi Peter and team. Have a 15% position in what i consider the "consumer" section of my portfolio made up of Cineplex, Tim Hortons, Dollarama and Couche-Tard. Was thinking of adding on High Liner Foods (HLF) on this recent dip. Cant find any material news to cause its recent decline. Have i missed something or is its recent decline just the ups and down of the market, in your opinion. Lastly, what do you think of High Liner's balance sheet and up to what percentage would you allocate to a "Consumer" portion of a retail investor's portfolio? Thanks, again.

Q: Further to my question of March10/14, my wife owns Mawer Global Small Cap fund in her TFSA. She was advised by the company that no T3 tax slips would be issued for this fund, as mutual fund investments that are registered(RRSP & TFSA) do not receive T3 tax slips. If this is correct, does this mean that if she decides to invest in individual stocks of global companies in her TFSA instead of using the mutual fund, she will not receive a T3 tax slip either?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
Just wondering if you could comment on the recent decline in Bank of Internet (BOFI) stock. I am currently slightly below my break even point. It is close to a RSI of 30. Would this be a good time to sell or buy?

Q: I am in bargain hunting mode having watched Teck hit a new 52 week low today; also, G, SLW, BTO and XGD have all tanked since buying them a couple of weeks ago.
Is the risk/ reward in my favor right now?
Would you buy any of these now or would you wait?

Thanks for all you help and guidance.

Q: Hi Peter.
As a new member I'm curious to know more about the trading parameters of the 5i model portfolio. Will the portfolio ever go short? (Inverse ETF's)? How often will stocks get cut and new ones added? Will the portfolio ever go to a certain level of cash or does it always stay 100% invested. A brief description of what too expect would be helpful.
Thanks Nicholas

Q: Sherritt
Today I am hearing that Cuba is going to change the laws to allow wholly owned companies to invest in Cuba.
Also they are going to gurantee that assetts will not be confiscated.
If this happens willit not be HUGE for Sherritt?
Thanks,Warren.
