Q: American Depository Receipts
I am somewhat confused on this product. Is it simply a way of
purchasing a specific non-north American stock without having to go through a non - north American exchange? Please enlighten me. Do you value them in a diversified portfolio?

Thank You

Paul

Q: Hey 5i, I am a guy in his 20's who is just starting out with his TFSA. I would love your suggestion on a handful of companies I could buy right now that have great growth potential, and that are not overvalued or overpriced. I have ~$5000 and I would be buying and holding for a minimum of 5 years.
Thank you so much for your answer.

Q: Greetings,

Regarding Management Expense Ratios and Management Fees. TD WebBroker lists both under fees and expenses for ETFs and Mutual funds and I was hoping you could help me understand my costs. Using TDB900 as an example the MER = 0.33% and the Management Fee = 0.35%. Am I paying annually 0.33 or 0.35%?

Cheers!

Q: What is the difference between a distribution and a qualified dividend

Q: If I wanted to build a $300000 balanced portfolio starting now Would you suggest jumping in the deep end or building slowly with your new recomendations

Q: I've held ADN for a couple of years and am underwater about 10%, but have enjoyed the 5% dividend along the way. I don't mind hanging onto it other than I'd sure like to see it break water one of these days. But is there another company in the same sector that I could replace it with that pays a dividend but has better growth prospects?

Q: Dear Team,

What's your opinion of this company? Investible or not for the long run?

Thanks

Q: PIH has been dropping quite strongly from above $10 to below $9 in a matter of days. I can't find any news, except perhaps NAFTA re-negotiation anxiety, but nothing specific. Any thoughts? Thank-you

Q: Hi Peter and Staff:
More of a comment than anything else . First a thank you - I would not have hung in for such a large gain if you had not been comfortable enough to leave it in your portfolio.
I do wish that other than situations like Concordia where you decide you cannot stay in due to a bad situation that you would not drop good companies unless you added your replacement at the same time - I follow your strategy of not sitting in cash - When you toss a stock from your portfolio without a replacement despite comments you make that there is nothing wrong , I think you leave us scratching our heads as to why you feel it is so important to drop it to sit in cash . For one thing you may add a stock that we already own so we would not have sold ADW or you may add one we are not 100 percent sold on and would only sell 1/2 of Adw and buy the replacement for a 1/2 entry .
Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: Good morning,
If I sell ADW.A (which I am tempted to do) as I am trying to follow the Income Portfolio as well as the Bal. Eq. Portfolio I will need about a 5% ($35000) position in another equity to replenish the Consumer Staples sector. Currently hold ATD.B, DOL, L, and PBH. Thanks as always for your insightful responses.

Q: Could you give me you opinion on HSE? Why hasn't the stock price moved, if they are profitable & oil has rebounded slightly?

Q: This company describes itself as a Canadian manufacturer. In fact the vehicles are manufactured in China. Is this not somewhat misleading. New Flyer does manufacture in Canada a big contrast !!
