Q: Hi 5I,
How would a small investor get in to Private equities. This only seems possible for High Net Worth Clients. Is there good Publicly traded company's or ETF's that focus on Private equities. Is this a type of asset class that is recommended to diversify your portofolio.
Thank you

Q: I own shares in Volkswagen. I have received a corporate action notice advising that they are cancelling the Ordinary share sponsored ADR program. I have the option to either receive 2 Unsponsored ordinary share ADRs for each Sponsored ordinary share ADR exchanged or exchange 5 ADRs plus pay any charges or fees per ADR to receive one ordinary share of Volkswagen AG.

Why would a company terminate sponsored ADRs? Would it be better to reveive Unsponsored ADRs or Ordinary shares?

Q: Do you give members the heads up on BNN Marketcall Top picks? I didn't see any updates prior to your BNN appearance. It would be a nice feature to give members a heads up on these picks.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

I'm certainly not complaining, but can you account for the pleasant surprise from Gildan yesterday (up 21.6%)? It's been languishing lately and this bounce was very welcome.

Also, thanks very much for the ECI recommendation. My TFSA benefited greatly from this stock.

Q: Hi,
For an income investor, BCE is looking pretty good right now. I have about a 3% position now and I was thinking of bumping that to 4.5% once the dust settles a bit. Was there something in the recent quarterly report that you'd be concerned about over the long term?

Thanks,
Gord

Q: Hello I5 team.
SLF seems to be bound in a trading range that hits a top around $55.00 and then backs off in a repeating cycle. Would you be comfortable swing trading this stock to build up a volume of shares to hold long term. By this, I mean, out of 100% of my intended SLF share inventory, I gradually buy when prices are lower (below $50.00) and when price approaches $55.00, sell, say 25% of holdings, then repurchase when price is below $50.00. If price does not go down to that level again, then reassess where the support channel is at the time, to repurchase. The goal is to have SLF share inventory at the lowest cost possible, without increasing trading risks and keeping things common sense.
Thankyou for your response.
