Q: Hello Folks at 5i,
I am selling my condo here in Ontario and almost ready to "hit the road" and not come back to Canada on a full-time basis but I do have a worry on how to invest the proceeds ($350,000). I do have $250,000 account of which 60% is invested in the model portfolio and about 40% in the income portfolio. What should I do with the rest and how soon should I be fully invested? I do have a high risk tolerance and a excellent pension to cover all living expenses and then some. Thanking you in advance for your excellent service ...

Q: Hi 5i,

Like others here, really like what you do, and have found your work more valuable than that of other groups I follow/subscribe to.

Over the years I have learned that the management of a company is one of the most important factors in making a successful investment. I would very much appreciate a one liner (or addition to the "Report Card" section of reports) which would speak to how effective/honest/reliable/capable the management team is.

You often address this in the question section, which is valuable for non-reported companies, but seeing it embedded in the reports would be great.

Thanks again,

Cam.

Q: Team,

E or MCR, which falling knife do you prefer standing behind? I own small positions in both as part of a basket of small caps, but they are both back under my 1% threshold where I either have to add to the position, or cut it loose. I'm thinking of selling one, and topping up on the other. thoughts?

As always, thank you!

Q: Hello 5i Team

Back on August 12 you mentioned AVO had too much cash on hand which was impacting per share results. You also commented an acquisition would go along way towards providing some positive news to turn around the emotional slide which began with the executive resignation in May.

Is Mr. Hernandez still sitting on a considerable amount of cash? Has his strategy for the company changed in the past quarter or do you think an acquisition is still on the horizon?

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: The following have shown little change in the current correction. Is this the type of correction wherein the sellers will get around to worrying about these stocks/sectors, or does it look principally oriented to the energy sectors. Thanks

Q: This is an interesting post, which I thought might help explain what's happening with Avigilon. I don't have an opinion one way or the other as I don't know enough about hedge funds and shorting practices, but it does seem intriguing, and might be of interest to those members who know more about this than I do.

Q: Hi,
Could you expand on your answer regarding your thoughts on the oil commodity backdrop. Charts are suggesting longer term high US $, a long US Stock cycle & a long down period for commodities. Meaning stocks like SGY, even though good on fundimentals might suffer from being in an "out of favor" sector & therefor have little upside. So your insight into how long you thing oil might be on a down cycle.
