Q: SYZ, ZZZ, CZO, TNC, NFI, PBH and ITC These are all stocks that have been down considerably over the last month. They are stocks that 5i customers have or did have. Meanwhile, the TSX 60 has been flat for the last month. So I am wondering if the members are selling out on these stocks and possibly putting the money into oil which has been up for the last month or so. Should I have been getting out of some of these stocks over the last while and putting my money into oil which is one sector that is doing quite well and probably the reason the TSX is not losing ground this month. Thank you. Dennis

Q: I have about 9% in utilities in an otherwise balanced portfolio. All these companies have dropped from 5 to 10% in value over the last while. Can you explain this. Should I lighten up on utilities, and if so, which one(s) should I sell? Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i
Chinook Energy.
No questions previously asked, and the name does not come up automatically when I type in the symbol on the title line above. So, from what I've read outside, I believe this company has a brilliant future. First off: Why the lack of interest?
Second, could you "shine your flashlight" on this one and give me your opinion. And might this be a stock that would interest you and subscribers, seeing as how its so underreported and unknown.
thanks

Q: Hello,

A recent article by Mawer, discussing executive compensation states "Constellation Software is a good example of a company we like because it has chosen to align its managers. The CEO draws a $1 salary and they don’t use securities to link the alignment. Instead, all their key managers are shareholders with a genuine stake in the company’s success, earned through years of share-based compensation."

Could you recommend some other companies like CSU with top notch management and similar alignment?

Thank you
