Q: 1. In your Model Portfolio, several companies have a NR (no rating). I wonder if you can explain that. I imagine that there may be several reasons, some more important than others.
2. I have followed Brookfield for a long time as I used to know an executive at Brascan many years ago. I would appreciate it if you could comment on the different stocks under that name.

Q: Good morning Peter and the 5i team, In the preamble to your model portfolio, you state: "Each individual investor needs to decide what exposure they should have to bonds, preferred shares, cash and other investments based on his or her own unique circumstances." My target is 60% stocks (chosen mainly from your recommendations), 20% bonds, 10% preferred shares, and 10% cash. If you had to choose among several ETFs for the bond, preferred share, and cash portion of such a portfolio, what ETFs would you recommend? Thanks for your excellent service and advice.
Q: Hi, Peter
Do you think that the Glencore offtake agreement reinforces my views form March 26 on the potential sale of Orbit. I also thought that Veolia or Rio might be potential candidates for purchasing the company, the offtake may scare them away or, better force them to outbib.This is positive.
Also, does an offtake may include a clause of first refusal?
Your comments as always will be most appreciated.

Q: Hello 5I,
I would like your opinion on a small Canadian Company, Lassonde Industries (LAS). It was brought to my attention by a good friend whose children use their juices etc. No analysts cover the company but Thomson Reuters stock reports rates it a 10 (I have never seen such a high rating). Its 3yr chart is excellent and it actually pays a 1.8% dividend.
One of its problems is that it is vvvery thinly traded. Do you have an opinion on the company and if it is positive how would you approach stepping into such a thinly traded stock?
Thanks,
Bob Ahearn

Q: I own some MRG, and disappointed that it is down so much. I thought a new reit with US purchases and excellent parent would do well. Not so? Your comment please. The Div is good but no growth? Thanks Phyl in BC
Q: Hi Peter,
If Sobey's Crombie REIT (CRR.UN) winds up with about 1 Billion worth of Safeway's real estate would that not be a boost to the stock? BMO seems to think it is slightly over valued.
Thanks Peter

Q: HELLO 5I, Concerning Chartwell Reit, I was watching BNN John Stevenson on BNN and he would not buy this company,s shares as they have not converted to a new type of reporting.

Q: Hello All,
Currently my Technology holdings are AYA, ESL, RKN, SW, SYZ. I would like to add 2 more. Since all my holdings are Canadian, I think that perhaps the US would be better. Could you please suggest a few high growth tech companies that you like?
Also, I really like the way the questions are answered according to date, current news is reported first, which I find better for decisions. Thank you for all the great advice.

Q: Hi Peter, I would like to increase my exposure to the auto sector. Would you choose MG or MRE, which I own, or another one? Is now a good time to invest in these companies?
Q: Telus and BCE vrs Verizon ?
Peter. I own both T and BCE and feel a bit nervous about the giant in the room, ie Verizon. If VZ with a market cap of 147B enters the Canadian market they will do so with a bang ( not a wimper like target),I am thinking of selling both as I feel the stocks will take a bit of a pounding if VZ does come to town.
Appreciate you time and knowledge
Cheers

Q: Hi Peter and team. We're really liking your advise.
We are up nicely on Magna [MG], and we're tempted to take a profit. In your opinion do you think Magna has more room to go up. We understand the car sales in Europe were down last month. Will this have an impact on profits.
Thanks again
