Q: Peter, Lana & Team,

I am rounding out a 15% financial sector weighting. My existing holdings are approximately 2% for each of: Sun Life, Home Capital, TD, Scotia, Fiera and JP Morgan (12% total thus far). I have 3% left that I want to throw behind some small cap names, and have shortlisted the following 5i favourites: Firstservice corp, Tri-con, Element Financial, Rifco and CI Financial.

Questions:
1. Would you throw 1% behind 3 names, or 1.5% behind 2 names?
2. I know you like all these companies, but which 2/3 would you buy today?

Investor Profile = Young and risk on. Will be deploying new capital routinely, so ideally names that I can average up with over the next few years.

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

Q: For long term S&P 500 exposure would you go with a leveraged ETF like HSU or the un-leveraged XSP? Are there additional risks with the leveraged HSU besides the greater downside potential in a market crash?

Q: 5i, in general, do you recommend investing in the retail clothing space?

I can't help but look at the charts of Urban Outfitters, A&F, Aeropostale, Reitmans and see it going continually downward. Are there any in this space that you think can be good medium to long term investments?

Q: Hi Peter & Team,
Would you still recommend 65% fixed income/35% equities for a retired 65yr in current market? Presently 65% cash and pondering deployment. With XBB/XSB/XRB trending down and with low GIC,it is a tough decision.Your guidance would be appreciated

Q: SJR.b It has been a few months since you commented on Shaw, and given Telus' continued success with winning over cable customers, and the Industry Minister announcing that if you don't use your spectrum, you will lose out, is Shaw becoming less attractive as both a growth stock, and as a take-out candidate? While a seemingly good geographic fit for Rogers, if Rogers can't expect to capture the spectrum that Shaw purchased in an earlier auction, and cable TV is apparently the government's next target, is it time to throw in the towel on Shaw? Yes it's still good for income, but its yield is only just above 4 today; did the Shaw family miss the sweet spot in timing a sale?
