Q: This is a follow-up to your answer on DGI indicating you thought it was improving but still risky due to debt largely. They have a convertible debenture with a fair yield that is trading between 70-75. Would this be reasonable for a good yield to maturity?

Q: Good Morning 5i Team

My question concerns fees I pay for my RRSP and RESP accounts. I am currently with a large Canadian Bank and have approximately 250k invested. Although I get 90 free trades per year ( exercising maybe 30 of those) and have access to a personal advisor I find the advice stale and generic. I am making all the investment choices on my own aside from a few bond investments my advisor has made for me.

I currently pay about $3500 in fees. Is this reasonable? Especially in light of what I'm getting in return. I find over the course of my membership with 5i I have benefitted much more than my entire relationship with my bank.

Thank you

Q: Peter, with the growth we have had in Cr Point over the years I feel it is time to lower our holdings in it by about 23%.In order to replace the income from this 23% I am thinking of putting it into Baytex 63% Eagle energy 24% and Parrallel energy 13%. We need the extra yield from Eagle and or Parralel to get the same income we had from it being in Cr, Point. Your opinion please? I feel Baytex is very good. Eagle or Parralel? Thanks Ken

Q: Hi, on a Jan 20th comment you said U.S. dividends are subject to a 15% withholding tax, which can be partly recoverable? What do you mean by that? Is there a form we would have to fill out for tax filing? Or is it already calculated in our T forms? My 2nd question is how do we claim a tax loss on bankrupt companies that are not tradable anymore and is just unfortunately sitting there in our accounts?

Q: Wonderful concept and information. As Canada is a small market, with little exposure to some sectors, will you ever be reporting on foreign investments? (assuming geographic diversification is a good thing, especially when the CAD$ is high?)

Q: Low volume has always been a concern for me when choosing a company, yet 13 of the companies on this site regularly trade below 30,000 shares a day and 7 trade below 10,000. Could you share your thoughts on low volume and how that affects your choice of companies? Thank you.
