Q: Hi 5i team,

I currently hold Cipher, but was thinking about switching into Biosyent. Although Biosyent has a lower market cap, it also has more diversification in its operations and better stock momentum. What are your thoughts on this switch?

Thanks as always,

Q: I noticed a few questions on why BPF.UN, Boston Pizza, has been weak. I would suggest that the increasing Payout Ratio is not a good sign, especially considering they have been borrowing money to buy back units in an effort to keep the POR down. That debt has to be paid back one day, which will cut into profits at that time, and possibly lead to a distribution cut. I know that is in the future, but that day will come. And won't the low Canadian dollar and drought in California lead to higher input costs for the short-medium term?

Q: These are two US companies. It seems to me that the US market is doing better so I seem to buy more of their securities. ARWR is a stock I hold and dropped 13% on Friday. Please give me an opinion. AKS is another one. Looks like it is doing good. Please give me an opinion. I am thinking of buying it. On the Canadian side, I noticed on Mar. 20th BYD.B dropped to 32.5. The next day, it was up over 37. What created that drastic swing? Thank you. Your opinion is greatly appreciated.

Q: I like Ryan Modesto's recommendation to invest in tobacco companies as a play on medical marijuana. Any in particular? Spread it out over PM, RAI, MO, LO? Others? Maybe the individual investor can build a small "etf" by adding one or two risky companies? Recent inheritances put $100k U.S. in the bank, and I could reasonably dedicate it to this sector, even though I don't need the income from the tobacco dividends. Thank you.

Q: Hello,

This is a general question for new account regarding the Model Portfolio (MP).
When starting, considering that the stocks in the MP have already appreciated what's the best way to start?
Will the same strategy apply for 100K up to 500K accounts?

Thanks

Q: peter - A few months ago I took a small position in Neulion(nln) and recently noted that their results for the last quarter were very good. My investment small as it was is up 63% What do you think of this company. Would they be a likely company to partner with Rogers when they make a decison in this area ie enablement of on-line content for internet connected devices? If so, I might consider adding some more shares. thanks for this great service.

Q: Hi Peter and Team, a small portion of my portfolio (5%) is made of CGL (Gold Bullion ETF) and Goldcorp. Because of CGL fees and lack of dividends, I am thinking of selling CGL and use the money to buy more shares of Goldcorp. Does this make sense? Regards, Gervais

Q: Hi 5i,
Would you still give CFN (Carfinco) the same rating if you were to review it today. I am invested in it but wondering if other stocks in the same sector would be better choices right now since it might take some time for it (cfn) to recover? Thanks a lot,
Keith

Q: Hi Guys,

I have some cash I want to invest in the “high risk” area of my fixed income portfolio.

I currently own units of Innvest REIT (INN.un). My plan is to sell the INN.un units and buy Dundee Industrial REIT (DIR.un) to upgrade my REIT portfolio while maintain my cash flow. With the cash I already have, I will purchase one of Innvest’s debentures.

What do you think of the idea? Will my portfolio and cash flow be in a superior position (read safer) after the transactions?

Thanks for the input.

Regards
John
