Q: CLCT has experienced a significant decline over the past few months. Can you suggest what may be behind this, and is it likely to continue to underperform the general market? How safe is the dividend?

Thanks!

Q: Any thoughts on Cervus at these levels as a 'bottom fishing' long term hold. Looks pretty cheap here against past growth rates. Think the dividend is safe?

Q: I have hung on to VET because I didn't want to get out of energy completely. I understand that they have a significant share in a new natural gas supply for Ireland which was due to come on stream this Summer.
Is the new revenue stream enough to warrant continued holding, or would I be better to buy something with more immediate prospects of price appreciation?

Q: Good morning 5i team!

I understand that the rental market (condos and apartments) continues to remain strong in the US and Canada due to housing affordability issues in both markets.

What are your thoughts on this macro trend in the housing markets and do you expect this trend to continue?

What is the best way to profit on this trend if it continues?
Can you please provide a few ideas in both the US and Canada (REITS,stocks etc.)?

Thanks once again for your unbiased independent investing perspective!!

Q: I hold 3 stocks per main section allocation and have HCG as my financial anchor (through thick and thin - as my three main inspirations Jason Donville, Mawer's Martin Ferguson and yourself are still constructive on it); I also hold AD. I sold RFC for a couple reasons including captial tax loss to offset gains elsewhere.

Which financial stock would complement well HCG (and AD)? CXI, EFN, EH, Fiera, other??

Assume an otherwise diversified portfolio for long term investor (doing well mostly except my financials!!). Dividend is nice to have but I am focusing on stock's total return as primary criterion.

Q: What is your opinion on cf? My purchase price is 9$. Do you suggest averaging down or exit altogether at a loss? It is in a tfsa, so there is no tax loss advantage, but want to get out if there is not much growth. Thanks
