Investment Q&A

Q: Good morning. Re: OSK Osisko.
OSK at a $9 cost basis is my only gold stock.. It now appears likely that no other bidders will emerge - would you agree with selling OSK at current bid price and buying Goldcorp? (I hate gold stocks)

Q: Gluskin Sheff (GS)has had a great run and now appears to be giving back a bit of its earlier price increase. Is this a normal retracement? Is there rumour or pending news? Do you see this as a buying opportunity?
I look forward to your insightful response.

Q: Hi Peter and Team!
As a new member, I have a couple of general questions. Often your members comment on how well they've done thanks to your recommendations. I'm not sure if your actual recommendations are limited to the A and B rated stocks in the model portfolio and the 5i reports. Or, when you comment favourably upon stocks that members have asked about, can these also be considered recommendations?
Also, people refer to "full positions", or "half positions". Could you explain?
And lastly, for sector classification, would you say TRP and IPL are energy or utilities?
Thanks so much!

Q: Hi 5i Team. I will be opening a family RESP account for my 3 small children and am looking for 5 or so companies with a good dividend that is likely secure with a bit of a market downturn. The yield is important because we are a 1 income household. We currently do not have any other equity investments.
All the best,
Tom
