Q: I bought FHH as downside protection for my portfolio. Now it appears the downside hedge has been removed. Is my assessment correct? If so can you recommend a better allocation if I sell FFH?

Q: Hi 5i: Early this year I recommended AW.un for my wife's account. It went up nicely but has since dropped significantly. Her investment horizon is medium to long term so holding it is not a problem unless the fundamentals have gone bad. I realize same store growth has not been good recently, which is not a surprise. Is there anything else going on that would make it advisable to cut losses now?

Q: Hi guys,

Can I get your thoughts on Artis REIT? I've been watching them for some time now. They have managed the Alberta downturn relatively well. Do you know, based on forecasts, when their cash flows are expected to grow again? Do you like the direction the company is taking (I seem to recall they are looking at getting out of US retail)?

As for Medical Facilities Corp, is the price drop all about the change of leadership? I own some but am not sure if I should be buying a bit more at these levels. The yield is very enticing.

Thanks,
Aaron

Q: With respect to the new offering, TD Waterhouse identifies the selling shareholder as "Her Majesty the Queen in right of Alberta by its agent Alberta Investment Management Corporation" which will no longer own any shares after closing. Does this make any sense? Do you see this as positive, negative or indifferent, and what percentage does Transalta still own? I have about a 3% position (held for a long time) and might consider adding.
Thank-you

Q: Hello 5i group
I find that the information you provide is very informative and really useful for studying new investment opportunities. I am interested in midcaps at a reasonable price, with solid dividends and decent growth possibilities. In this connection I have been following Calian Group for some time. Could you give me your opinion of this company?

Thanks, David
