Q: I would appreciate your revised view of Nordion (NDN) now that their most recent quarterly report has been released. You last commented on it July 15th with a 'wait and see'. Perhaps, the dividend will be re-instated. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter et al
RE: SYZ

I'm looking to add a little to my small cap I.T. exposure. I'm having trouble deciding between SYZ (which I know you recommend) and RedKnee (RKN). Redknee is a bit larger, SYZ pays a dividend. Both have performed very well over the last year. Your thoughts on which you may prefer would be most appreciated. Thanks as always.

Q: Hi 5i Staff,

I've recently read an article about Canadian mortgage investment corporations in Moneysense magazine and this was the first I've heard of the them.

What is your take on them and do you have 1 or 2 that would be recommended as part of the income portion of a portfolio?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Thank you again for your unbiased service.

I have been very fortunate to have selected two growth & income investments that have stood the test of time. They are CMG-T and BAD-T (BAD at another all time high as I type this note). I have others as well, but these have been my best and most consistent long term holdings. I believe in the businesses, and they are in the Oil industry, which has very deep pockets (pay their bills) and which, I suspect will be here for a long time to come. Therefore, they are still long term holds for me.

My question is, if you were to pick three long term (+20 year) equities that provide both growth and income ? Take your time in answering, as the long time frame may cause you to ponder a bit longer.

Thanks again,

Q: Aug 8/13 Globe article of Peter Hodson re #stocks to own for diversification.

The answer given (15?) assumes the investor has sufficient capital to implement same, and if they don't when do they start
investing?

William O'Neil (Investors Business Daily (IBD) founder ) feels investors should start investing with as little as $500. using IBD principles and in that case 1 or 2 stocks would be adequate.

Just my thoughts on another excellent article.
