Q: Hello Peter and team,

My 20 year old nephew just opened a Scotia itrade account this week, how much can he contribute into his TSFA?
Scotia itrade has free ETF trading. For dollar coast averaging, which 4 or 5 ETF's would you recommend for a beginning investor?

Thank you,

Brent

Q: Hello 5i Team, can you please comment on the recent 1st qtr results of LGX. Given they have not met their financial obligations and the management team's performance is questionable at best over on the Legacy side. I incurred a rather large loss on the stock and was planning to roll the dice on it. Am I better off to take what money I can get out of it and play a micro cap that has better upside potential over a 5-10 year period?

Q: RE "what's your sell disciplilne?" blog.
If DOL was in the BE portfolio or the growth and you had held it for over a year with a 100% gain, what would 5i do?
1) let it run on fundamentals, 2)take the profit and let the rest run, 3)substitute, 4) sell on valuation or stop gain, 5)trade on technicals and buy back based on the belief it will run more.
Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter,
If I read correctly from the various message boards, TD sold a lot of shares of PHM and since than the stock has not recovered. PHM continues to build a base around the 1.5 range. Recently on BNN, there has been positive comments on PHM with a price target in the 2.25 range and yet the stock has not moved. Their recent financing closed and I was expecting the price to move higher. Are you able to shed light on this please? With respect to FFH, the stock just keeps getting punished. Any comments and are you able to provide the company's PE ratio as well as the ROE please as yahoo, and google do not seem to track the numbers the same. Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
Financials represent 8% of my RRIF portfolio; they comprise BNS, CXI, EFN and TD (I also own DH in my TFSA). I'm thinking of adding either Royal Bank or Sun Life or an ETF of US banks to my RRIF portfolio; could you please guide me?
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: Hi Peter and co.
I recently scaled back on my US holdings in my RRSP in order to lock in my gains from capital and currency appreciation. I was lucky enough to buy the majority of my US holdings when the Canadian dollar was close to par with the US. My next step is to invest these proceeds into Canadian companies. When the Canadian dollar gets back on to an even playing field with the US, I may again look to increase my exposure in the US.
Considering this is my RRSP and I am 36 years old, what percentage of my holdings, in your opinion should I keep in US companies? My goal is to continue to see growth from my US holdings while minimizing currency risk.

Thanks!
