Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Peter and Team
I totally revamped this TFSA in January according to your group' sure commendations, but did hold back on what is now 7% cash, of the portfolio and am ready to invest that.. I currently hold 17% in REITS, 13% in BCE , 13 in ZWB, 11% in BAD, the remainder , evenly spread, in CDZ, XIU and XCS.
What would you recommend that would provide substantial growth prospects and would it make sense to add a Canadian company with good foreign exposure?
In other accounts I own SGY, SYZ, SLF,, AVO, and ESL.
Thanks for your consideration. I have been pleased with the January changes made to this TFSA.

Q: Hi, I would like your views on Centerra Gold generally and in terms of value. Also, do you think the dividend is relatively safe? I am looking for a small exposure to the gold sector. Would you have another name that you would recomend instead, which pays a dividend. Thanks for your input.

Q: AUP seems to be holding up well in difficult market. There was also some insider purchases. Would you be more constructive on this small company compared to your November comment.

Thank you for your great service, Peter

Q: Greeting Peter & Co.
While I am currently a little nervous about the stock market I don't want to miss buying opportunities for quality stocks. I am considering adding to my very small position in Sun Life Financial, my only financial holding. Also, I am considering increasing my exposure to Canadian financials by initiating a new position in TD Bank.
I would appreciate you thoughts on these two potential purchases.
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Hi, Gibson Energy(GEI)appears to be getting favourable comments from analysts and BNN guests, as a unique mid stream energy infrastructure co. benefitting from several business segments. Recent quarter was good and management guided for a strong 2014, besides a 9% dividend increase. I noted that you consider Gibson expensive and good for income only. I am considering increasing my position for income and growth. I would appreciate your comments.Thanks

Q: The other day you recommended AYA, SJ, BDI, SLF, CSU, MDA, ENB, ESL, FSV, BNS for a TFSA . We have an 35K low risk RESP for our 16 YO son but it hasn't really gone anywhere ... ( We finally ridded the account of its mutual funds , actually LOSING money in 2013 when everyone else was making 30% ). This is a big investment for us and we would like it to grow . Should we be following your TFSA model for the RESP ?. Thanks .

Q: Where and what is this "5i Report card" a few members have recently mentioned? Have I missed it or does it go by another name?

Q: I am wondering if 5I has a mandate to educate readers as to make report cards themselves, or to teach us to start to do some of our own research. Say which websites to use , etc.

Valuations of most oil and gas producers are moving higher, but Touchstone and Petrobank are standing still, despite what appear to be good metrics and focus for their combined enterprise; thoughts?

Q: Would you mind if I was to email CBC's Marketplace and suggest to them to do a segment on the fantastic service you provide for Canadians in the investment arena. Normally their shows deal with rip-offs and the like but I bet they would like to do a "positive" show once in a while that provides an alternative to what else is out there for investment advice.

Regards
