Q: With the markets not really pausing for much these days are there any stocks represented in the 5i portfolios that represent good value today or should an investor exercise patience?

Thank you,

Q: I am underweight in these companies from your Balanced Portfolio and I have some money to buy into one of the above. It would not materially affect my sector weighting and dividends, while nice, do no affect my choices. Which one would you suggest for a long term hold?

Q: Recent reports on PBH suggest that while there is progress on the Asian Swine flu epidemic it is going to take some years to recover from - and pork prices in the local stores are still prohibitive. At the same time PBH has supposedly invested in several productive moves which should come into play in the first half of this year. Yet share price progress is modest, the shares are well priced and share price expectations do not encourage the idea that significant progress is anticipated. What is your take on these issues and do you know and have an opinion on the "meaningful moves" that this company has made? Thank you.

Q: Good day I have a large gain in the above stocks in an outside account. I am thinking of taking half off the table and putting it into a canadian dividend etf VDY. I understand that i would have to pay some tax but i would net a higher dividend from VDY than the other three and i live from my dividends. Or should i just leave them to grow as each is about a 4% position in my total portfolio. Could you please give me your thoughts on this....Gene

Q: I am a retired, conservative, dividend-income investor. I just sold CGX and need to replace it with something else in the Consumer sector. I currently own AW, NWC, PBH and love dividends.

Can you please give me 3 replacement options in the Consumer Cyclical space as well as 3 options in the Consumer Staples space? If it is possible to filter a dividend over 3%, that would be ideal...if not 3%, then try for > 2%.

Thanks...Steve

Q: In Maple Leaf's news release, they mention the Chinese import ban of Canadian pork affecting their bottom line. It sound's like they export pork to China. I hold PBH and would like to similarily understand the mechanics of how China's pork issue may affect PBH. Does PBH export pork products to China that would be subject to a ban? On the other hand, is it possible that lower North American pork prices could be positive to PBH as an input cost? Thanks.
