Q: Hi Peter
Happy New Year I would like to add a beverage or liquor stock to replace DEO which I sold. Would you recommend Corbys for income and some potential capital gain or Ambev as a better large cap. Thanks

Q: Hi Peter. I posted this on comments, but then realized you likely don't comment on comments. I lost 15K almost over night with Poseidon. Were there signs of this coming that I missed, or was it unavoidable?
Thanks.

Thanks.

Q: Could you recommend 2 stocks from the 5i model portfolio to hold in a TFSA, the other 18 stocks would be in a regular non sheltered trading account.
Q: Hi Guys,
I noticed in your latest Jan 03 5i research summary you have given TCN a C+ rating yet the actual December report states a B rating.
Have things drastically changed or is this just a little slip up
cheers.

Q: Current TFSA holdings are BEP.UN, BNS, PKI, and HR.UN. Have room for 15k investment and plan on buying MCR plus one other stock. The 15k for two stocks will equal about 5% each of the combined TFSA/Investment Acct portfolios.
Do you have a preference of MG, or ACQ for the second stock? I have no other exposure to the automotive industry.

Q: Happy new year and best wishes to the entire team of 5i.
For the benefit of all the members, Virtual Brokers now offers penny commissions for all US and CDN shares. So if you buy one share your commission is going to be one penny. The minimum commission is 1 penny and the max is 9.99 (Disclosure: I am not being paid by them and only have a small account with them right now)
In the light of this, I have a question. If I want to build a portfolio by accumulating smaller quantities of good companies/ETF's like buying say 1 share of IWO or similar companies every month, would this be a good strategy. Also, what if in this approach I end up buying many more companies than the prudent 20 like say 50 or 60. Would it be too many to manage?

Q: Hello team,
I just recently subscribed to 5i and have been very impressed with your service. I am new to selecting stocks and a couple questions have arisen. I have about $35,000 in my TFSA that I would like to dedicate to growth stocks. My two questions are:
1) Given the small balance (and limited to adding only $5500 new money each year), what would you suggest to be an appropriate number of stocks to purchase? I would like to have some diversification but also think the fees of buying and re-balancing 20 stocks like in your model portfolio would be too costly.
2) Based on the number of stocks you think appropriate for my situation, do you have specific stock recommendations I should consider for purchase in 2014?
Thanks in advance,

Q: Hi Team
I am in the process of trying to replicate you model portfolio this week. I am in the fortunate position of having about 200,000. dollars to allocate. Would you recommend simply increasing the % to 10 for each stock or diversifying more or increasing the weight in certain stocks.
Thanks
Mike

Q: Bell Aliant (BA) pays a much better dividend than the big three telecos. If you were to pick just one, are there good reasons to prefer BCE, T or RCI? Is BA more risky?
Q: goodday,Peter iknow you don't like it,but here goes. how about tossin us tail waggin dogs a couple of bones with respect to short term trading i.e. 1 to 45 days. tkx pat
Q: GLN Glentel is up $2.00 in the last two weeks and it raised it's dividend four percent yesterday. Is it going up because people sold it for tax loss and are now buying it back or is interest coming back into because of improving prospects? I'd appreciate your thoughts. THANKYOU
Q: EQI How do you feel about EQI as of now? Smoothwater appears to be supporting the stock which worries me. Do you think they might pull back on that support to try to sway us little people to go with their offer? Would CXS be a decent more stable alternative?
Q: Dear 5i,
As a quick follow up to my previous question on TransCanada TRP, I also currently have about 3.0% of the portfolio in IPL. I was thinking of using some of the proceeds from selling TRP.PR.D to bring that up to 5.0% in IPL. Having another pipeline seems like a good idea and Enbridge is in the Model Portfolio as well. Is that still the best pick today or would you suggest TRP or Pembina?
Also, saw the posting of the December 2013 portfolio. Congratulations or your out-performance! I know it won't always be like that, but you did very well for your membership. I've been really using the service and learning a lot from you!
