Q: Hi there,

Spartan is sitting about $1.80 above it's 52 week low. WCP is just $.20 or so above its 52 week low and pays a 3%+ dividend. Can you offer an opinion on why Spartan has had a greater bounce (WCP didn't decline as much?). Also, if someone wants to own one of the two which would you pick today and why?

Thanks!

Q: In the December 5th, 2017 press release, DHX stated that:

"in connection with its strategic review process, it has received Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) approval to delay the holding of its annual general meeting to a date which will be no later than February 27, 2018."

In your experience, does this imply news is to come? or is it just a normal proceeding for companies in this situation?

Further, would there be any compelling case to obtain a position in this stock after tax-loss selling season?
Thanks!

Q: Hello in a recent answer to question about the growth portfolio you mentioned some planned changes. Do you have approximate time when we will see those updates? I hold the majority of the stocks with the exception of about 8 stocks but thinking of holding off until I see the updates/changes.

Great work and wishing you all the best over the holidays. Looking forward to 2018 being a successful investing year

Thanks 5i

Q: Firstly I want to wish the folks at 5i a happy holiday and thanks for offering a unique and valuable resource for retail investors.

Looking at the insider transactions on the 5i website, how can I tell if a transaction is a buy or a sell when the transaction is recorded as "acquisition or disposition"? I would like to distinguish between these two.

Q: Hello. On Nov. 24, your answer to Steven regarding PHYS and GLD was “but if you want truly physical bullion representation, for crisis insurance purposes, there are better options.”

Would you please elaborate regarding what “better options” an individual investor should consider.

Thanks.
