Q: Peter,

I have an RRSP question. If you have Canadian ETF's with international exposure, is there a limit on how much of those ETF's should be as a percentage of your total RRSP portfolio. Lets say my Canadian ETF's with foreign exposure are 50% of my total RRSP portfolio, would this be allowed. Thanks

Q: Peter & Co.,

I'm curious to hear your opinion on today's G&M article entitled "Time to book profits in Magna, other auto parts makers: analyst"

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/inside-the-market/hjkh/article14213639/#dashboard/follows/

Basically, Martin Roberge of Canaccord Genuity argues that the rise in oil prices and interest rates has reduced the affordability of autos, and at 12X forward earnings these companies will have a hard time maintaining momentum. He also referances the technical breakdown in US homebuilders as cause for concern in the sector.

I own both Magna and Martinrea as part of a relatively balanced portfolio... should one listen to Martin and "book profits and cut positions"?

Thanks!

Q: PRW. After a couple of good quarters, PRW stumbled in the most recent quarter. However, given the prospect of a pick up in spending in the oil and gas sector and the positive effects from their Highway building contract, do you think this company will be able to get back into a growth phase? Debt still seems high even though they have been able to refinance at lower rates. Your thoughts would be appreciated..

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

REITs have come under pressure in recent months due to interest rate concerns but one name has never really gotten off its feet since their IPO late last year is Regal Lifestyle Communities Inc (RLC). With all of their properties in Sask, Ont and Nfld and with the demographics playing in favor of assisted living/independent services living would this be worth considering alongside the likes of Chartwell, Extendicare and Amica?

Thank you,

Q: Hi Peter and team

Fabrice Taylor gave a couple of recommendations on BNN that intrigued me.These were Enterprise group Inc., E, and Symbility Systems, SY. These are tiny companies, apparently growing very quickly. Do, you have an opinion on them. I am thinking of a small position recognizing the risk.

Thanks.

Q: Question: I bought this Brookfield Infrastructure {BIP.UN} a while back on the recommendation of Scotia McLeod. It appears to pay a fair yield but has shown no indication of growth so far.
It dropped in value shortly after I purchased the shares and has shown no growth to speak of since. How does this stock compare to the other Brookfield stocks?

Q: Hi,

New member here but have a question as to your thoughts with regards to total portfolio diversification. Obviously the stock picks and model portfolio on 5i is limited to CDN securities. What would you generally advise in terms of percentage weightings of CDN, USD, and international equities? I am quite "overweight" in the CDN security area and try to purchase USD & international security ETFs to offset this.. Curious what your thoughts here are. Thanks!

Q: I would appreciate your revised view of Nordion (NDN) now that their most recent quarterly report has been released. You last commented on it July 15th with a 'wait and see'. Perhaps, the dividend will be re-instated. Thanks.
