Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Sorry about all these questions today. However, i know you cant comment on Sprott companies, however, can you comment on a trade i am thinking of doing with them. You see, Sprott Lending is being bought buy Sprott Inc for $1.65/share, currently Sprott Lending is trading at around $1.40/share. Do you see where i am going with this? to me, i think buying Sprott Lending is a good arbitrage trade as this is would be a 1.65 - 1.4 = 0.25/1.4 = 17.8% gain in under a year or even under 6 months depending on how fast the acquisition is. I hope you can at least comment on this.

Q: Hi:
I unfortunately has some Bonavista (gas) in my portfolio
some experts appearing on BNN claimed that the target is about $ 18, it does pay a small dividend
If I sell it and take a loss and move my money to other gas producers, would ARX and Peyto and Altagas be good choices?
By the way averaging down in Bonavista is a bad mistake
one would only average up ? right
thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Quick thoughts on a small company called Ecosphere Technologies, ESPH. they just started a dividend and are clearly on a growth path, however, not sure if they can afford a divi and growth at the same time especially at their size.

Q: Hi Peter, I have a mix of 11 stocks in my RSP portfolio averaging about 7-8% weighting of each except for PPY and RY that are about 12-15% respectively and I was thinking of adding "G". I don't wanna bother you with listing the stocks but they are known names that pay dividends, oils, telecom, pipeline etc. diversified I think but no golds. What's your opinion on G and is it worth adding just because I don't have any gold and the price is low? Thanks, Nick

Q: Hi 5i team,

My wife's portfolio is heavily overweight on BCE. Given the recent sentiment on dividend paying stocks from the potential for increases in the interest rates, I was thinking about bringing the weighting down and reinvesting in VIG. Would you recommend this switch based on the potential upside between the two or would there be another stock that you would recommend in lieu?

Thanks as always.

Q: Hi 5i,
Given today's market correction, i'm looking to opportunistically buy some income oriented stocks. What's your top pick in the space given today's reaction (possible over-reaction). I am currently looking at the basket play (XRE-T) and Brookfield Office Properties (BOP.UN-T). Thoughts?

Q: With the recent declines in the gold sector my exposure to gold has dropped from about 15% to 7%. I have been adhering to your "do nothing" approach and as I write this gold is down another $75 dollars this morning before the market open. I am considering increasing my exposure. Would you endorse such a move (i.e.trying to time a bottom) or would you advise sticking with the "do nothing" approach until there is a meaningful upward move in the price of gold or gold stocks.

Q: This is for a fixed income component of a taxable account. Preferred share ETF's, such as CPD, have dropped 2% or more in the last month. Are they still a good place to invest, or is it time to bail, take a loss and move on to short term bonds, or after the recent declines, is this a good buying opportunity.
