Q: There was an article in the paper today suggesting that Home Capital Group be shorted. The thesis is that the housing sector in Canada will be weak going forward and HCG will suffer. I just bought some after looking at it, and seeing positive comments from you and Jason Donville. I was also planning to purchase more in the next couple of weeks. Should I question my timing on this?

Q: Hi Peter
Glacier Media GVC is trading around $1.60 it pays a 5.00% yield.Book value from what i see is $4.20 a share, what I'm concerned about is the Intangibles which are listed as 395 million, this is a huge amount for such a small market cap stock is it not? would this also be considered goodwill?.Have i taken a big risk purchasing this stock here.?
Thank's Gord

Q: Dear Peter and the team,

I have lost 30% on G so far as I bought it at 41.50 and it is now 29.00. I have a small portfolio and Goldcorp is about 4% of my holdings.

Do you think I should buy some more now or wait.

Thanks and keep up the great job guys!

Q: Hello Team, I am thinking about adding RPI.UN (Richards Packaging Income) to an RESP account. I like it because it is not very volatile and has a great yield. The time frame for the RESP is about 2-3 years before the funds are used, so I do not want anything too risky in there. The other stocks in this account presently are BCE and TD which are performing nicely, but I would like to have something else in there as well. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks

Q: HI 5i I just noticed True North Apart. TN.UN has jumped considerably in price. I bought it 3 months ago so the jump looks great, but is it real? My account still shows I have the same number of shares.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: What are your thoughts on recent corporate activity by what is now Fission Uranium Corp (FCU), formerly Fission Energy (FIS). As I understand it they have cash on the balance sheet, are streamlining their focus onto their favorite asset piece, and spinning other assets out in ways that should give them additional liquidity and some upside potential, while off-loading exploration costs and sharing out the risk burden on an ongoing basis. It sounds like all they need are continuing positive drill results. Do you like the looks of FCU post re-org?

Q: Please provide your thoughts on Neptune (NTB-T). It is having a little breakout today after a guest on BNN said it was a table pounding buy.

Q: In my wife's TFSA she currently holds MFC and PJC , both with substantial gains. We are thinking about selling the MFC and half the PJC. This would bring PJC back to the original investment amount.Does this seem like a reasonable strategy based on the outlook for these companies?
For reinvestment we are looking at KBL, AHF and VRX. Would these present better growth opportunities? If not, anything else you would suggest?
Many thanks
Mike
